Hello Ladies! I haven't seen any updates in a while and didn't see a new slack channel yet.

I'll try to get us started. Don't worry, Janice! Please take care of family first.

Thank you for your kind wishes everyone. This is an ongoing problem as my mother gets older. It's compounded by mental issues, but it's manageable - it has to be - just takes navigating a health system which is deeply frustrating. Honestly I really want to get back to our project. I need something productive to work on! I should be back full force tomorrow or Saturday. Thanks for understanding!

One final note on this because I've already over-shared . . . . I have managed these types of issues for a while to relieve my brother who had young children. As his kids are older and he knows I'm in a huge life transition, he has agreed to assume this responsibility. So do know that when I'm back on this project, I'm back.
I truly hope this doesn't sound callous, but far too often women take on these situations at the expense of their own lives. My brother has stepped up, and for that I am extremely grateful. The best way to pay him back is to be successful.
Yes, family comes first, but I think there is great power and potential for all of us in taking what we've learned but are not getting direct feedback (code reviews) and create a working app which people actually use and find useful.

@raem Nick just added our channel. #women_techmakers_project.
I'll be back and involved Friday or Saturday. Sorry. I just need to focus solely on this family thing for a few days.
