feeling guilty

[rabidsamfan]

I have fallen back into my evil ways and have not been answering comments when people say nice things about my ficlets. I just can't think of enough ways to say "thank you," and to tell the painful truth, there are only a scattering of comments that I want to say more than that in reply to. As some of you may have gathered, I'm in a grand blue funk of late, and I'd rather put the energy I've got into writing something, or keeping my temper with the kids at work. Although I did go and see eight middle school classes today and was more amused than appalled, but that may have been because I was particularly lucky in hitting classes when their worst troublemakers were out of the room. Except for Jamal and Denebria, both of whom get points for having stood out well enough for me to learn their names in less than twenty minutes.

Anyway. I do appreciate the comments, and dote over them when I need an ego-boost. Really. If I knew how to do the fancy scrolling sparkly words I'd put a big THANK YOU here, but I don't, so I guess this apology will have to do.

It'll get better, it always does, but this is the wretched part...
