Hi all, first let me say sorry for disappearing. I'm not sure I'm ready to come back, honestly I'm very daunted by it (which is why I'm posting this), but I'm going to give it a try.

So what I'd like to ask is if we had a thread or a plot going and you'd like to continue, please let me know. I had so many moving parts that I haven't looked at in a month that I'm overwhelmed and just need a little assist.

Next, I do want to be completely candid. There is a lot in the air right now over here. Traditionally June is a quiet month at work, but with everything going on I have no idea. Also for the first time in almost two decades writing is stressing me out more than acting as a coping mechanism, so I may end up needing to take more time. I am asking for patience with me, I know I've left a lot of you hanging and I'm trying to remedy it as I can.

Finally, I do know I have to lighten my load. For right now I am trying to limit how many people I sideline but right now here is what it stands at:
Nimiane Delaney, she will be living a quiet life in Irvingly with Shawn who is still running the London branch of the Delaney imports. [temporary, possibly permanent]
Sybille Lukeson, shall be enjoying a very quiet summer [temporary]
Somersby Fudge, will be training in Egypt for the next several months [temporary]
Lucille Lukeson, will be retired in July [permanent]
Rufus Bixby, will be retired following the Quidditch World Cup [permanent]

If I need to sideline any others here is my plan:
Aideen McClary, will have to attend to her family back in Ireland and will temporary vacate her post
Ellsworth Ruskin, will have an early retirement

I'm letting you guys know all this so you are aware if there is a plot you want with someone what is going on. I do have four others that I would come up with exit plans if all else fails, but that is worst case scenerio. (Asha Bilton, Daniel Selwyn, Hermione Longbottom, Seraphina Nott). If there is anyone that you object or really want to stick around let me know. Maybe your ideas will help their muse stick.
