Taxes and writing and life, oh my!

I should have posted here awhile ago, so you wouldn't all be wondering what's happened to me.

Anyhow, my daddy is a CPA (certified public accountant), and this is TAX SEASON. Stressful time for our family... and since I work for him, I'm very busy with that every day except Sunday, and am left very tired at night, leaving me very little time and energy for either forums or chatting.

But rest assured! This vile state of things shall end on or soon after April fifteenth, and I shall return.

If you want to pray for my dad, that he can get everything done and not be too stressed, I would appreciate it.

So... yeah. That's where I've been, and will keep being, for a little bit longer.

Okay, hope that goes well! Looking forward to the end of your HW fast! I will pray that your Dad that he'll get everything done without too much stress and the same for you.

Tax time, yick!

Know the feeling all too well. Try to have as peaceful a time away you can, Gracie dear! Looking forward to your return.

Hope everything goes smoothly for you guys, Andi! We'll look forward to your return.

Take care!

Thank you, Lycanis, Bushy, and Elanor! I really appreciate the prayers and well-wishes.

I'm praying.

Oh good, you're still alive.

But...April 15th... so far away...

J. Grace Pennington · **Joined:** July 19th, 2011, 2:35 pm **Posts:** 1988

Thank you, Jonathan.

I'll be back soon enough, Brendan.

*pats Arien* I'd let you know if I had died.

And it's less than two weeks away, I think we shall survive.

I've been missing seeing you around, Grace!

I admire you and your dad (along with all the other CPAs) especially with tax season.

Unfortunately, that reminds me I need to do my own taxes as well...

*Waits for return*

Lady Katharina · **Posted:** April 15th, 2012, 3:09 pm

Sorry, Aliza, but you will probably have to keep waiting until Tuesday. Tax season was extended this year due to April 15th being a Sunday and April 16th being a holiday in Washington, D.C.

I hope you survive, Grace!

Lady Elanor · **Posted:** April 16th, 2012, 9:59 am

It was lovely to catch up with you and Jon on Skype last night, Grace!

J. Grace Pennington · **Joined:** July 19th, 2011, 2:35 pm **Posts:** 1988

Alright, it's over! I am back now.

I'll still be very busy for awhile, as I'm getting thrown right into self publishing and ScriptFrenzy, but I'll be around more, hopefully.

(And lots of writing means the need for poking...)

Lady Elanor · **Posted:** April 18th, 2012, 9:05 am

Nice to have you back, Grace!

RunningWolf · **Posted:** April 18th, 2012, 9:33 am

Glad you're back! I hope your writing projects and self publishing go well.

AzlynRose · **Posted:** April 18th, 2012, 9:41 am

Grace is back!

Lots of writing?

Lots of poking?

Arien · **Joined:** February 9th, 2011, 1:08 pm **Posts:** 531

Back?

YAY!

And we can help with the poking...oh, yes...

Aragorn · **Joined:** September 23rd, 2010, 3:42 pm **Posts:** 9085

I'm glad you'll be around more.

J. Grace Pennington · **Joined:** July 19th, 2011, 2:35 pm **Posts:** 1988

@Elanor - It's good to be back!

@Wolf - Thank you!

@Azlyn and Arien - Thanks!

Er...

*hides*

@Jonathan - Thank you.

I'm glad, too.

I'm so happy you are back. That was quite the posting spree.

Not was. It's still going on...

You guys were watching that?

Well... I'd never tried a posting spree before, and I was bored and procrastinating, so I decided to try posting in every single forum, even the ones I'd never entered before.

Pretty silly, I guess.

I am now the last poster in every single forum I can see except the archives.

AzlynRose · **Posted:** April 19th, 2012, 2:40 pm

*Laughs* I juts logged in and saw every forum I can see too with you as the last poster!

Posting sprees are fun.

J. Grace Pennington · **Joined:** July 19th, 2011, 2:35 pm **Posts:** 1988

*grins* Very fun.

But now I suppose since it's over, I must write...

Without Gracie, the forums lack a certain... Gracieness.

And yes. Go write you naughty procrastinator!

I can say that now that you've posted on everything.

AzlynRose · **Posted:** April 19th, 2012, 11:47 pm

You wrote!

Keep at it! (I should make you a writing banner like I made for Philie.

That is so not true, Grace Pennington!

We all noted your absence, and were eagerly awaiting your return.
