I apologize deeply for my prolonged absence. I have been focused on schoolwork and life as of late, and the need to focus on my studies more intensely has arisen; I shall still be present here, but I will be somewhat slowed and more deliberate.

A recent [today] experience with a young dog [puppy who just entered her 'bite' phase] has resulted in a rather nasty hand injury that makes typing quite the chore, as well, so that will also account for my lessened typing abilities. Even this short dialogue has resulted in my stitches/sutures tugging at my skin and making me experience flashes of pain. I should be in full operating condition in roughly a week, but I'll try to maintain a presence continuously through this period and should hopefully have enough spaced out focus to write up something.
