Apology time.

[Zohartze]

Hey folks. So this is my official, written apology to anyone waiting on me for threads or waiting on me for staff duties.

For those who don't know, I stress fractured my foot, and after seeing the specialist we now know it is due to a partial calcification of my Achilles tendon. I never realized it because my calves don't hurt, but it is completely affecting the way I walk and making me flat footed when I am mechanically not supposed to be, and I have almost no range of motion in my foot or ankle. This is something even I never realized, and it has probably been the cause of an entire life of foot and ankle pain for me. The doctor was horrified to find out that this has been happening my entire life and no previous doctor has addressed it (and it probably ended my career as a runner in high school... but c'est la vie).

In any case, I'm at physical therapy now 5 days a week, alternating plasma and ultrasound therapies for my tendon, PT for my calf muscles, and PT for my spine (which has ALSO reached a new level of painful). Between working 6-8 hours a day at a farm, intensive training with my horse, and all of this, I am so exhausted by the end of the day, I can hardly bear to go take a shit, let alone try and have any creative energy. And my house/laundry situation is a wreck. xD All of this is just sapping the time and the fun out of my internet life.

I know you all understand, and you've all been so wonderful. I just feel extremely guilty that I haven't been around. This notice is just to let you know that I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU, I am NOT LEAVING, and I will try to make a better effort to be around in the cbox and for staff things. Just PM me for my Facebook/cell number, and if you ever need a staffy thing done OR just want to talk (<3), I promise I will get to it.

I love you guys, I'm just struggling at the moment. School starts in two weeks, and I'll have mountains more time. Bear with me? ;-;

Take care of yourself first.  We'll be here, cheering you on in your recovery.  It definitely sounds like a lot to deal with.  PM me if you ever need to talk it out.  Love!

Take as much time as you need to get better! We'll all be here and ready to tackle threads with you as soon as you're feeling up to it, so take as much time as you need. <3

That's terrible Nile! :c I hope that things get better soon, but take care of yourself until then! Yourself is more important than your posts <3

[Severus]

Way to suck.

Jk, I love you and I will come visit you again and not get sick so I can ride your horse.

Get well soon! <3

YO GUYS.

I'M BACK.

This notice now is only to inform you all that I will be getting back into things slowly, and many threads that do not have major plot value will probably be dropped. Please let me know if you're involved in a thread that you really wish to keep going! I know it's been like almost two months since I've popped out a reply, so... xD

I will also be culling my herd a bit. :> BUT, thanks to the outpouring of love and support I've gotten from you guys, I feel confident enough to come back in and take things slow so that I don't get so burned out. 8) <333 You've all been wonderful, and I feel so lucky to be a part of such a wonderful group of people!

MY DARLING NILE

GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK OLD CHAP

ALSO

Let's wrap up our Angel and Demon Raum/Castalia thread by each going like one more time. Yes?

[Arche]

We've all missed you!! <3

Also, we don't have to continue the Twins/lilith Vor'asa arrival thread, though we should probably have the twins do something for the Agoge soon. When you've got time ^.^

Nile, hun!!! So good to see you back!! I didn't have any threads with you, but I enjoy reading posts from anyone on here, so I'm glad you're making an effort to come back slowly. =) It's been slow around here. Just don't feel pressured. =) I'm glad you feel comfortable here, and I hope we will all continue to be supportive.
