Extended Hiatus

[Amanda Kimmel]

Hey all,

I just want to let you know that I would like to take a longer break from hosting than just a day. Today was not a day off by any means - it was a long, brutal, overwhelming tragedy of affairs, and I really feel like I need a bit of an extended break.

Yes, I said earlier that I would be needing an extended hiatus, but I didn't know when.

I'm taking that hiatus now.

Again, I'd rather not discuss it, and I don't even know when I'll be up for coming back. This will take at least a few days. I obviously can't do the next challenge on Wednesday, so I'll plan for Thursday at this juncture. I will post Treemail, the episode guide, and everything else that needs to be updated as soon as I can, just bear with me here.

My mind is in a horrible place right now. I can't focus on hosting. I can't focus on much of anything. I just need a little time before I can host to my full ability again.

Sorry that this has to happen, although I'm sure you guys welcome the break. I will be monitoring what's going on, if anything, as I can from my phone. I just won't be too active - and when I am, I might not be myself.

Like I said, I just need time. I will keep you updated as things develop.

Thanks <3

We love you Amanda and you take all the time you need to feel better. If you need a shoulder to cry on, I have two <3

No problem, Amanda! Anything you need, you just let us know <#

Good luck with everything Amanda, and yes take all the time you need! Better to take a break than let IRL issues become detrimental to your hosting/let your hosting make IRL even more stressful.

I hope everything gets better Amanda, if you ever need me to post a challenge or something just shoot me a PM and I will! <3

I still need some time... so yeah, looking like Thursday still. Again, will keep you all posted!
