It's not really so much that I...needed a break? Circumstances just conspired to make me reluctantly take one (mostly the fact that it's really bloody hard to type with a splint or cast on so I couldn't do much while I was still recovering, and then there was that week in Colorado where I wasn't at a computer...) I don't really think I lost much except the motivation though, as I still feel it's easier to make words do things than it used to be. So at least there is that.

I probably get that backwards a good 99.99% of the time too, so it isn't just you.
