Me:
This review has risen to the top of my review pile. I should have it completed within a week. That would be about 1 month after I agreed to the request and only about a week after the 3 week deadline that I foolishly agreed to.
Did you know that in the same email you ask me to let you know if there will be further delay AND ask me not to reply?

What was I thinking? Agreeing to referee a paper in three weeks when I had a stack to get to after final grades were submitted (and a survey to field)?
