Update - Slots for Lady Lashandra Avaritia YCHs are full.

To all who sent me a note through here, messaged me in Discord, or emailed me; I am sorry for not responding to you sooner.

Why the delays? What's going on? Well, in a nutshell:

- My job added more stress with recent changes: Many grants were cut or frozen, many are afraid of coming to the campus after the university signed the plan allowing ICE or police acting on behalf of ICE to detain criminal aliens, two big donors are upset at my boss' boss for not agreeing with their wishes on a scholarship funded by them, and my department keeps going back and forth with how they want to change my program. I was also given a class to teach this Summer (At least it's fully online). Lately, my boss' boss has been sharing articles and held a meeting about AI (He seems to be in favor of some tools yet also seems afraid of being replaced by it). I'm trying to balance everything without losing sleep.

- Last week, I got out of bed and felt a very sharp excruciating pain in my lower back and almost fell (As though a ton of weight were crushing me). Eventually, I went to an Urgent Care Center a couple of days ago who gave me a couple of medications. Thankfully, my back is better. I feel pain in my back and leg from time to time as well as if I stand or walk for too long. If I'm not 100% better in six weeks, then they'll take an MRI and determine whether I need surgery.

- If anyone remembers the Lady Lashandra Avaritia YCH raffles...I did not receive enough responses in some to host one. I am still moving forward with the YCHs but won't select by raffle. Instead, all who submitted a form for each one will receive it. Those will be free for any who entered them, because I will pay for them. If any were interested in nabbing an available slot, you can message here or in the respective link of each pic (I'll do first-come and first-served basis.). If no one is interested in them by next week, I'll move forward with my other OCs.
