Life is a major bitch and Murphy's Law is definitely a real thing. August-September have been the most difficult months to get through for the past four years, to be honest- I'm not sure why, but it's the way things have worked out.
I'm working on finding temporary solutions to most of the BS that's going on right now, that way I can find permanent fixes. If everything goes the way it should be, if luck is on my side, I should hopefully be able to return to RP sometime early next week.
Thank you all for being understanding though! My kitty's what hit me the hardest, she was 12. =( At least I've got pictures of her still. They aren't much, but they're better than nothing.
