Open Thread: Oracle Hotline

[mithen]

Hi everyone, I am so so sorry I disappeared off the face of the earth for a while there. My mother had surgery in late August, and shortly after that had a catastrophic aneurysm with no hope of recovery, so for a couple of weeks there was a mad scramble to hurry back to keep vigil at her deathbed and say goodbye, then getting everything in order, arranging the funeral, dealing with the emotional fallout. It's taken a huge amount of energy and I'm just barely starting to get my feet back under me on this, the exact one-month anniversary of her death. But I have missed talking about WiPs with you and hearing your updates.

I'm going to save a specific question for next week since this is a fairly heavy post, and instead I'll just ask: how is it going? Has the last month been kind to you and to your current WiP?
