Hey there, its Lexi. As it turns out, I need a break. This time of year is usually the hardest for me. But, that is on top of starting my new job and the world situation continuing to escalate everywhere all the time. Put simply, I haven’t been able to find the focus to do editing. So, for now, we’re going to be in a pseudo-hiatus until I say otherwise. We won’t be gone forever. Monster of the week episodes will happen when they happen. But, for now: see you later.
