Oh wow I was NOT anticipating this many kind responses. I'm floored... honestly.
I'm not going away forever

Just spending less time in general online. So I won't be posting as much either.. but it's definitely not a goodbye. I like the community here too much :)
Thanks for the good luck, I did get a huge portion of my project done. Just gotta finish up a presentation and another class out of the way :)
I start work in 8 days, rather than nearer to the end of the month. Soo I ordered all these fabulous work clothes so they'll come in a few weeks (better late than never haha!)
Sky is doing better too, and will update about his vet appointment on Tuesday!!
You all take care :)
