Hey all. I thought I'd give everyone a head's up about why I haven't been around much and why this is likely to continue for the forseeable future lol.
So, my work schedule is a mess and has been for a while now. Hopefully in the coming weeks I won't have super early meetings anymore so I can actually get some decent sleep again. My workout routine has also increased to 4 days a week, so that has been taking time and energy. On top of that, I joined a community band after not playing for 7 years, so that is currently kicking my ass and I need to practice. On top of that I officially got pre-approved for a mortgage, so I'm also house-hunting in this nightmare market that will hopefully become less of a nightmare soon (lol).
All of this is to say that posts have been very slow and will continue to be slow until I get a better handle on things. I have no idea when this might be, so I thought I'd give this as a head's up to let everyone know. I will get to posts eventually, but if you want to drop threads, I'm totally fine with that. Just let me know! My priority posts will be with Casi and Vojorn of course.
Hopefully I'll get back into the swing of things soon. Love you all. <33

These past few weeks have been the longest, most stressful weeks of my entire life.
I did end up getting an offer accepted on a house and I'll be moving in the middle of November, inspection-willing (which is tomorrow). On top of preparing for that, other things have also happened that I'm not going to talk about here. Unfortunately, it's all kept me incredibly museless and low on time. I don't know when I'll be back, but I'm going to try to keep up on priority posts if at all possible. I can't promise anything else.

It's now two weeks until closing for the house and I've been very stressed and busy trying to get everything organized and packed up. I'm estimating that my absense is going to last until the beginning of the new year at least, depending on circumstances.
I'm probably going to be getting rid of some characters and I have been going through and dropping threads. I want to thank everyone for their patience while I get my shit together. Hopefully I'll have things figured out in the coming year.

I've been in my house for almost three weeks now. Huge shoutout to ➳ T e c h n o ➳ not only for helping me move, but also baking cookies with me (even the microwaved one )
I'm still dealing with things, not only with the house but also personal things. I think I'm getting into a routine though and I'm going to try to start slowly coming back. Thank you all for being patient with me.

It's been two months so I should update this lol.
I'm still not around as much as I'd like to be and I do apologize for that. I'm hoping now that my mental state is finally improving that I'll be able to be on more and actually write when I have the free time.
I will be dropping threads and freezing some characters in the coming days. I feel like a fresh start will help me get back into the swing of things.
Thanks all. <3

So it's been a bit again and I'm still not around like I thought I would be. I've taken some time to think about what I want to do and I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to take a step away from roleplaying.
I will be doing my best to finish out all of my current threads, but I will not be taking on any new threads unless it's part of a plot that we've discussed prior or it's something essential that involves my lands (such as meetings with the Royals). I will be keeping Omashu and Dark Woods for now and will make proper arrangements if I can no longer keep them. I'll be stepping down from Vigilum and there is currently a plot in place for that.
I will still be around to do staff duties and hopefully taking a step away from roleplaying will help me be more active in that area.
If anyone has any questions, feel free to reach out.

Last week I had to be evaluated by a breast cancer specialist due to my family history and I was evaluated as high risk. Because of this, I have to start going to a high risk cancer center for scans every 6 months, possibly for the rest of my life. There's still unknowns at this point in time because they have not yet called me to start scheduling these appointments (which is very much not helping), but for now it seems my current choices are to either have these expensive stressful scans for the rest of my life or to get a surgery that I do not want.
In light of this, I simply do not have any more capacity to give to WE right now. I will be going on a full hiatus for the forseeable future. I might pop in every now and then, maybe there will be a surprise post, but please consider all of my current threads dropped. Omashu will be going to Techno. I am currently trying to figure out Dark Woods and if anyone has any ideas or is interested in taking it, please let me know.
Thanks everyone and I'm sorry.

Hey all,
I've taken the time to seriously think about my future with the site and I am officially going to resign from my position as an admin. This was not a decision that I made lightly, but given everything that's been going on lately, I am not able to keep up with it. Between house repairs, work stress, medical issues, and coming to terms with how badly my ex treated me (and continues to treat me), I don't have the time or devotion anymore. I need to do what's best for me and get everything sorted out in my life.
I am also still going to remain on hiatus from the site. As for my characters, my Dark Woods crew has gone missing after the raid on Eacarrah (Vojorn, Vrakali, Reth, Avitas), my Helkaer gang has disappeared likely on a top secret mission (Cahethal, Persephone, Yvette, Murmur), Casimiro is taking a backseat and raising his son after violating Vigilum law, and the rest of them are likely just chilling in their respective lands as essential NPCs. I hope that I can come back to writing again soon, but I'm not going to make any promises, so if you need to explain where any of my characters have gone, use the explanations above and consider them all frozen for the time being (they should be removed from herd stats). I'll be making arrangements for Dark Woods and its activity in the coming days/weeks.
Thank you for reading and I hope that I'm able to come back someday and enjoy writing with you all again. <3

Finally updating this with some good news this time lol.
My muse has been holding steady for almost 3 weeks now and my interest in the site has finally come back. I truly don't know what I would do without this wonderful community and I'm so glad that I'm able to be a part of it again.
With that said, I'm going to say I'm officially off of hiatus. I'm still going to keep my thread count low so I don't overwhelm myself, but I think I'm finally back. <3
