I just deleted the entry about a hiatus. It looks like that will not be the case. I am currently out of the Land of Oz, because now the electricity at home is off completely. KCPL did come out and fix what they needed to fix. However, we cannot get into contact with the electrician at present. This means that I will be staying in Missouri for a day or two. In fact, I am there right now. Thus, I am away from my homeland. I really want this nightmare to be over. I want to be able to go home and have everything just the way it should be. These problems have been preventing me from being about to finish my chapter and to be able to start some other projects. My patience is growing thin, and I am really not happy about it. I guess that's just how life is sometimes.
