Hi Taraz! I hope you won't read this comment right away, because that means you have enjoyed the last moments to the fullest – enjoy while it lasts. It's been great to follow you and read about your and @galenkp's experiences.
No need to worry one week of lost engagement on Steemit because that engagement has been going towards your family. Your "real" readers do know that.
I 'hardly' looked at steem all day except to throw a couple votes in my feed. I trust you are keeping warm ;)
Haha, that's good. I'm warm indeed, sweating like pig (wait, if I remember correctly, pigs don't even sweat, what a scam) while eating a pie, gonna have to take a cold shower to cool off for sleeping.
