I'm back (from the very nearly dead)

Hi folks!
I've been offline for a while, after spending more than a week sick in bed. I'm starting to feel better now, and am trying desperately to catch up on emails, which is probably going to take a while.ÌýIf you contacted me since April 1 and you haven't heard back about something, please try again!

IÌýmanaged to get my taxes done over the weekend and now am moving on to writing-related tasks. I'm still a bit disoriented and finding it hard to concentrate, but hopefully IÌýcan get back on track
