My lack of appearance...

[Mira O'Halloran]

...Has been due to a number of things going annoyingly and horribly wrong.

One - my darling computer got a virus and then completely died. that was a week and a half ago.
Two - My stepdads been readmitted to hospital, and the chances of him coming home are starting to look pretty slim.
Three - My current residence is getting bulldozed on the 27th of October. House hunting in a city with vacancy rate of > 1% is a <lots of swearing....> pain. there are two houses that we're going for, and i'm praying like mad we get the first one we applied for, if not i hope we get the second... stress like this is really really bad for me - i'm losing sleep.

Anyway, apoligies for my absense, and the continuation of it till such time as we get one of the houses and get the internet back up and running.

That's completely understandable. No one begrudges you for that, don't worry. Best of luck for your stepfather of course. I've lost loved ones suddenly, but I have yet to have to endure the lingering and prolonged situation that you may soon be in. My best wishes to you.

If there is anything I, or Uantir, can do for you, please ask. Though I have the unfortunate feeling there is little that we can do, I'm ready to give you anything I can that will do you good.

Many thanks, your Majesty. The houses that were lined up fell through, so i'm spending the next week trudging through rain to see a few other houses that are further away, but just as good. I have no idea how to cope with my stepdad, so i'll leave that can of worms for later.

The offer of support is a pillar of strength in itself, again, thank you.

Good luck house hunting. It sounds like you've been having terrible luck lately. I hope it turns around.

[Mira O'Halloran]

Thanks, and looks like we might have a place. And it's close to the beach!

[Rook]

That's always a plus. I'm glad to hear one of your stresses has been remedied.

[Mira O'Halloran]

Thank you, and the computer problem is getting fixed soon, my technician is coming down soon. So thats the fixable problems sorted.
