You know something? I just can't do it tonight. I'll gather that last of the links tomorrow and post the newsletter then. I'm sorry.

The Cybertronian

Fiction Edition
21-27 May, 2011

Editor's Note

Happy Memorial Day weekend to everyone in the US of A! I hope you take a moment or two and remember all the military folks that have given their lives for our freedoms. Thanks.

As always, given how brutal a week I've had, I've probably missed something. Please comment and let me know so I can add it!

Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for your patience with me.

RL first. *hugz!*

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Thanks, it's done now! *hugs*

[eerian_sadow]

sometimes there's just not enough energy (mental or physical) at the end of the day to take care of online stuff too. we can wait.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

That was me last night - totally wiped out. But the newsletter is up now!

[quidamling.livejournal.com]

See to yourself.

This will be waiting when you get back. ♥

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

I did - sleep was necessary!

The newsletter is now up!

[quidamling.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Looks good! Thanks!

Oh, a "less than" html wandered away in the K section, right after Justbolts. It made the whole rest stay in block quote.

At least it's a minor fix?

(Making icon choice hopefully hilariously inappropriate. >3 )

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Thanks, it's fixed now!

The icon made me LOL!

[vejiraziel.livejournal.com]

Take your time, you see to yourself first. The newsletter ain't going anywhere. :> *hug*

[xianghua.livejournal.com]

Randomly, your icon is ADORABLE.

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

True, it didn't go anywhere, but it's now done!

[xianghua.livejournal.com]

*sends puppies, because it sounds like you need some*

Looking forward to it whenever it gets here. :)

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

Puppy cuddles!

It's here now! Thanks for your patience!

[femme4jack.livejournal.com]

*Hugs* put your feet up and get some rest. You have been being supermom for your family all week. Glad you realize you don't have to be superwoman for us (even if I will always think you are a super woman).

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]

I was supermom yesterday, which is why I ran out of time and energy. But the newsletter is now up!

[thousanth.livejournal.com]

*hugs*!

[mmouse15.livejournal.com]
