The title says it all: Bush needs a break.

She has been up to her ears in HW stuff lately, (although it doesn't look like it) and her encouragement-for-others meter stands at a very sad empty. Since her brain capacity has been pushing the overload mark on the gauge, she thought she had better take some time off from HW affairs to recoup a bit so she can get back to pestering everyone under full steam again.

Now.

POTM judges: don't worry, I shall hang around until the new month is back into swing.

Katie: don't stress. I'm still working on the artworks you need whilst I'm away, and I'll be getting them to you very soon.

Drabble prizewinners: the prizes are coming, you will get them even though I'm away! Art never sleeps.

To people who need a critique off me: they are on their way!

To those looking for a cover: covers are currently on hold till I get back, but they will done right away upon my return.

To everyone else: thankyou for trusting me with your writings, your requests, your joys and your burdens. I'm amazed at the people who feel they can come to little Bushy and talk to her! Thankyou all, for being so awesome.

I'm not sure how long I will be away, but it won't be for too long. In the proverbial words of Arnie Schwarzenegger, "I'll be back."

Be good whilst I'm gone!

I feel like we've not really interacted a lot here, I even forgot to shake your hand on my welcome thread. *finally shakes Bushy's hand* I hope you have a productive recoup, and I'm glad that you're doing it, since you know that you need it. Looking forward to seeing you back though!

Thankyou so much, Lycanis! *shakes hand emphatically* You know, though we have rarely interacted, I very much appreciate your awesome posts all throughout HW. I often notice, and enjoy reading them!

I hope your time away goes well.

Thankyou Jonathan.

Take care of yourself, Bushy. Thanks for everything you do, it is appreciated. You are awesome.

I will. Thankyou, Elanor! *hugs* You are awesome too, you know.

*huggles Bushy* Come back soon.

*gives Busheh a nice big hug* I know how much you need this, so I'm glad you're doing it

You're welcome. Really? That's pretty much how it is with me, reading your posts when I find them. I'm glad that you like my contributions, as I, yours. Stay awesome! ;-) *waves*

It's hard to know when to step away for a bit. I'm proud of you for realizing that you need to, though I will miss Bushes muchly. Stay awesome!

And thank you for staying around to get POTM sorted.

You know I am proud of you for doing this, right Aussie dear? I know you need it, and I am glad you could make this step. I love you, and I'm around for generalized talking that has nothing to do with HW or life stress.

*hugs her Bushy* I hope your break is nice and restful! Come back soon.

*hugs her awesomes tightly* Thankyou so much for your understanding, my awesome lovelies. I will return soon, and it makes it so much easier to take a break knowing you all support me in this.

Yes, do come back soon!!! You're so fun and encouraging.

I will be back soon! And... Must you make a habit of causing me to go pink, Eli?

Yes.

You shouldn't have mentioned that... now I'll strive to do that every time we speak.

'Cause you're such an awesome friend... so full of joy, all the time.

*Chuckles*

Well, Bushy has had her break and thinks she is ready to come back now. Will be getting back into the swing of things slowly, but hopefully surely.

I'm glad you're back.

Slowly but surely is fine, when Bushy is back.

Welcome back, Bushy!

Thanks Jonathan. Turns out I didn't feel like sleeping so I dived right in. So much for slowly.


Thankyou, Elanor! Good to be back.

Bushy's baaaaack!

Yay! You're back!!! Ahem, welcome back.

We don't mind at all.

Soooooooooooooooo happy my Bushy is back! *hugs her Bushy tightly*

Welcome back, Aussie! *grins* I look forward to seeing you around!

Thankyou Lady Nicole!
