Update - The insurance settlement is starting to wrap up - we've settled on the truck, most of the trailer, 2 of the 3 quads, and salvage reimbursement. The main insurance company finally fired the incompetent local adjustor, so now we're finally moving along. We still need to settle the third quad, loss-of-use figures, loss-of-work figures, misc. broken contents figures, and maybe something else but I can't remember now. And then the medical issues ...
It's been such a time-consuming headache!!! but there's light at the end of the tunnel now. Oh, and then we have to FIND a new truck, trailer, 2 quads, etc. to replace the totaled ones!!!! All in time to test them out and go to Yellowstone national park at the end of July! And I still have physical therapy 3 times a week for 2 hours - the owner has taken charge of my case and is doing incredibly aggressive manipulation (and extremely painful - brings me to tears sometimes  ) but we're starting to see a little improvement in the inversion of the foot.And all this is on top of my chronic illness ... What an exhausting last few months! Please keep writing when you can, and I'll join up soon.

Hey guys - sorry I've been neglecting this.
 I'm out of school now though, so just as soon as my brain rebounds from its post-graduation numbness, I'll be getting back into my usual writing projects, including this.

Gee, what makes you say that, RÃ*an?
 Willow, take your time. Enjoy your post-graduation days and come back to writing when you can. I'll be away on holiday in July, by the way, so no Journey-posts from my side in that period.

Gee, I don't know, Earniel ...
 Yes, congrats Willow! Hopefully we'll rebound around the same time and take over as Earniel goes off on vacation. Good post, Earniel - I think you really captured Tom and Goldberry well! When you first mentioned it, I was intrigued, and curious to see how it would come out, and it's come out very well. Who knew you were such a secret admirer of Tom? And here I thought you liked Tuor!

Tuor is for ogling, Tom is for being intrigued. Besides, Tom is vastly under-used in fan-fic and RPG's. It does a writer good, to venture sometimes off the beaten tracks.

Great new Bombadil post, Eärniel!
Not only does he know of Gondolin to describe it, but he knows that this song was a Gondolin one. Amazing character! And I guess that the Elves won't get more of a definite answer as to who he is than Frodo and the Hobbits got, but perhaps he'll at least tell more stories about himself?

Yes, it is - Willow was already working on something and now we'll start our usual co-operation

Shame works wonders for vanquishing writer's block.

Posted a little bit that needed to be done before tackling any discussion with Tom.
RÃ*an, you still around? Or are you on holiday? How's the foot these days?

I'm still around, but this has been the hardest two-year stretch in my life, methinks Still doing PT for foot, but I think we're about ready to wind it down - I think we've got as much as we're going to get. The two-year anniversary of the original injury is in October - what a long time I've battled this, and that battle is only one of many, many ones these past two years.Anyway, I"m so glad you wrote something - I enjoyed it

I do! I moved it to earlier in the timeline though - Feast of Reuniting anyone?

Feast of Reuniting was when Erufailon and Arindis met again and realised that her gratitude to him for having saved her from drowning in the ice, had grown to something more - they got engaged soon after that
I look forward to seeing how you moved it - my suggestion of timing was only a suggestion
