I am deeply sorry to everyone involved. I don't know what kind of dumbfuckery is going on with DHL/Deutsche Post, I put the letters into one of their old yellow mailboxes near the end of February and it seems like no one received theirs yet, not even sahenders who's residing in Germany. Even though it's not my fault directly, I wish to apologize to you all for ruining BVWSC. ๐ฅ
As for my personal situation; I want to inform you that I had a massive load of shit happen to me recently and so, my depression is back at full force. Therefore I won't be able to participate in any shave events in the foreseeable future - atm, it's very hard to just get everything in my daily life under control and my final exams for the RN are coming up in early June. My appearances here will be sporadically at best during the whole spring and summer months, I hope everything will look better & brighter once September rolls around and I hopefully passed everything. Shit's though.
Due to some technical problems with my smartphone and certain apps, I also lost my Lemmy login info around my birthday and was just recently able to retrieve it via Windows password manager. Thanks for those who inquired about me - I'm not dead (yet), but I'm seriously struggling mentally. (Proof being that writing this took me way longer than usual and tons of edits).
Again, sorry everyone for all this mess. I seriously hate how this turned out
That's really not your fault, and BVWSC has already had to delay because of the unreliability of - Swiss postal services ๐จ๐ญ๐จ๐ญ
It will happen again. No reason to apologize!
It's just a very unfortunate situation though - I guess if there's one thing that's certain, it's the unreliability of our postal services...
