I have been offline for a few days because of technical difficulties. Is there anything major that I missed?

This is the worst time of year, but I'm okay. Not great, but okay and that will do for now. Winning NaNoWriMo and making progress toward having marketable skills helps.
I haven't finished everything I need to for my web design class, but I'm getting there and I know I am capable of doing well enough with what is left. Hell, I've aced everything so far and I know I'm learning this stuff better than most of the class and being caught up now (which I am) puts me ahead of 2/3rds of the people taking the class. After the disaster that school was before, this is an incredible improvement and I now even have faith that I can manage two classes next semester. I'm not even thinking about a degree right now. But I will take any sign of progress as a good thing. I was The Disappointing Failure Who Could Do Better If I Tried for far too long and it's hard to leave that behind.
I miss Cat every damn day but I can live with that. If I can get a book published it will even feel like she would be proud of me.
Thank you for all of the comments on my last entry. Right now I don't feel up to responding to all of them but they really helped.

Six years later and it still hurts like fire. I hide during Thanksgiving and fight to win NaNoWriMo and it still sneaks up on me.
The rest of the world can just go hang if it thinks I have to be happy this time of year. I can't be thankful and celebrate family during the time of year when these things are celebrated and you'll just have to deal with it. If that offends you, too damn bad. If you think you can cheer me up by mentioning the Holiday Spirit, just give up now. Between my losing my sister and working in retail too damn long you do NOT want to know my opinion of the Holiday Spirit.
Have fun and good on you for it, just don't demand I follow suit. I won't rain on your parade as long as you let me be.
Please don't worry too much. Just need to vent and feel it a bit.

You'll have to forgive the quote, but I couldn't come up with a better one.I just hit 50,007 words, winning NaNoWriMo for the second time!
And I'm at a write-in so I got to do some gloating.
This feels even better than last year, I think.
