Yay! Glad you're feeling better :)

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Eldrith: I am glad you're better again!

I thought I posted, but had only a near finished post, not ready yet. So now it's up. Sorry for a bit delay. I have been also bit under the weather due to memopause irregular effects.

[Merewyn]

Oof, glad you're feeling better Eldrith. I also have not updated any RPs in two weeks, but not cause of sickness, just general life crisis. lol. My car blew a head gasket, and I suddenly had to source a new car while trying to arrange rides to work (25-minute drive and no friend lives near me), then once I had the car I had to DoorDash a TON to make up for lost hours at work plus make the car payment and get new insurance, etc. Ugh. It's good to be logged back in and hopefully I can get a few RP posts up today!

[Eamila Bolger]

That's a lot of trouble in a short time Merewyn... sorry to hear so!

[Eldrith]

I am sorry, I've been delayed again! We had midterms just when last week we found out we were losing our registered behavior technician who is working with my youngest son, and we also had no more respite caregiver. (one is moving out of town, the other needs more time with her family). BUT.. I got confirmation today that a new RBT has been found, and should be introduced on Wednesday. So hopefully the delays should be over!!

[Eamila Bolger]

My job is pretty hectic these days... it was my day off today and I worked... 9 hours. So much for having fun on the Plaza...
But after April 7th we'll be having a bit of rest before the next deadlines hit us right in the face. So hopefully I'll be back posting soon.
@Aikári Salmarinian I'll at least try to make a post in the Inn to start Ea's journey with the Loremaster!

[Eldrith]

Life happens! I am sorry it's so busy!! I hope you get a break soon.

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Eamila: Surely, take your time. I'll see your post coming. Don't worry about it, but thanks for the notice. I hope real life is not too overwhelming for you.

Eldrith: I'll respond to you when I can for Eamila. I have otherwise such a small post, it is not exciting to read or to write.

[Eamila Bolger]

That's actually the sweetest comment, Aikári! It was overwhelming... including some personal things (joyous but still time consuming). But rest seems to be coming my way and the sun is shining, which helps too ;-) I'll try to post today!

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Eamila: Surely and thanks for posting. I'll post soon as well.

Eldrith: Noted!

[Eldrith]

Finals for the first semester have done me in a bit. But I have a free (goodness, what is that?) weekend coming up. I will start replying to everyone on Friday or Saturday at the latest. The one good part..I have ideas. And inspiration...

[Aikári Salmarinian]

Eldrith: Surely! Looking forward.

Eamila: I have replied in Fangorn. Sorry for the wait. I have been busy with other things. And a garden that is bit overwhelming with all the spring growth...

[Mairu]

Wow, I finally found my way back to the plaza after ~20 years. It doesnt feel real that it has been that long. I honestly forgot the name and have tried to find different variations on 'lord of the rings online forum' to no avail until I did another search with more general terms. I spent several hours last night reading through some of the archived threads on the old forum... anyway not sure if anyone remembers me, but I do recall some of the names ive seen on here and looking through the old forum. I dont fully know in what capacity ill be back, but it feels like ive unlocked a piece of myself that I didnt realize was missing.

[Rillewen]

@Mairu
Hello! I don't remember you so we probably never met, but it's nice to meet you! Welcome back.

[Mairu]

@Rillewen

Thanks@ yes I can't remember exactly when I stopped being on the old plaza but maybe around 2007ish. I spent a lot of time in the art/poetry section and was Tom Bombadil on there briefly (lower level admin lol). It was a huge part of my life and provided an escape and positivity in a tumultuous period of my life before leaving for college.

[Rillewen]

@Mairu
Ah yes, that was well before my time :D I joined the plaza around 2012, if I remember correctly. I'd have joined it sooner if I'd known about it though!

[Eamila Bolger]

@Mairu we probably were on the Plaza the same time then! I joined in 2002 if I remember correctly, and left somewhere in 2008/2009 when our firstborn needed all my time and energy. Welcome back!

Welcome again Mairu! I somewhat remember you from the old days!!

[Eldrith]

I traveled home to Belgium, expecting a bit more time on vacation. Due to some family circumstances, I am unable to get much work done during the day, so I am working into the night just to get university stuff done. I will be a lot slower for two more weeks but I WILL respond.

[Pele Alarion]

@Eldrith , good to hear from you! Though it sounds like the vacation is not much vacation at all.
