Stamps, coins, and disbursements have not been sent for several months now, though they have resumed starting today. I am very sorry for this.
If you care why this happened, well, back when I had minor surgery in June, the related blood tests indicated I was in the early stages of liver trouble. The likely cause of this was twenty-plus years of taking a higher-than-recommended dose of an antidepressant known for causing liver trouble, and accordingly my dose was lowered to the maximum recommended dose. It was hoped that after twenty-plus years, the depression had either resolved itself or been reduced to the point where I didn't need such a high dose.
This hope was, unfortunately, incorrect, and on the lower dose I became largely non-functional. Everything in my life effectively went on pause while my psychiatrist and I explored other drugs to supplement my primary antidepressant. I considered handing off my responsibilities regarding the Kingdom's finances, except even managing to email people or post on this board that I was having trouble was more effort than I could manage to put forward.
Finally, over the course of February, my psychiatrist and I seem to have found something that works, and I've been getting my life back in order. The whole backlog of stamps and coins and disbursements should get sent out over the next few days.

God bless you, sir. Depression is all-too-real and is nothing like feeling 'the blues'. It's good to see you back among the land of the living.

I am so sorry to hear that you are in such an awful situation, my friend. I am so so sorry for the post I made the other day about the delays in dealing with stamps, etc. Had I known what you were facing in life, sir, I certainly would not have done so. I truly hope that things improve from here, Ian. I am new here, but I have already heard your name more than once, and I am sure the good people of Talossa are all wishing you the very best.
Sincarment,
Jeffrey

I am so so sorry for the post I made the other day about the delays in dealing with stamps, etc. Hey, if I spent my money and got nothing back but silence, I'd certainly bring it up. You quite literally could not have known what was happening on my end, because I wasn't saying anything.

Okay, took a bit longer that I initially hoped when I posted above, but everything should be properly mailed/disbursed as of right now except:
1) The webhosting reimbursment to the King. 2) Part of the Talossan Culture Ministry award.
