Hm... I guess it´s time to come clear

Hello Lovelies,
yes, I´m still alive ... thank God? Unfortunately? I´ll leave that up to you.
There are no words that can express how terribly sorry I am to have poofed so suddenly, without a word. It´s nothing you should do, especially not as a sponsored blogger.
Let me give you a short recap of what happened in the last 3 years:

•  I had a major burnout, followed by a boreout cos my colleagues didn´t give me any tasks after the burnout in case it was too much for me (well cleaning the coffee machine 3 times a day really does your head in, trust me...)
•  there was a nasty break-up as in I got dumped pathetically
• I was at home for 2 years - plenty of time but I was struggling financially as it is and my desktop was too old to run SL properly, let alone take acceptable pics
• I met the man of my dreams and we became best friends
• I started StarWars Cosplay and joined the 501st Legion German Garrison as                TI - 68713
• I got a new laptop and returned to SL because as you might remember I abuse Kasha for Character Pics *coughs*
• Last Christmas I got a new PC (admit it you sung it in your head^^) 
• I started retraining as an office clerk (I worked in offices for years, but in Germany you need a certificate for everything...)

So yeah, while I do have the hardware to blog again I´m nowhere near capable of returning to where I was.
Back then it was like this:

1.  styling
2. setting up the spot
3. cranking the graphics up
4. praying to whoever was available - all of them
5. taking the pic
6. cropping/"editing"
7. typing the blog entry in blogspot (this one is actually written on wordpress^^)
8. posting
9. PR: 

• crossposting to WordPress, Tumblr, moolto, what have you
• FB (the blog´s page, Kashas Profile, about 300 SL Fashion groups (no really... I kid you not...)
• inworld groups
•  Flickr including all tags, links, groups

all of that took me up to 3 hours PER POST.
My current SL budget is 40€ a month which is about 12k L$, 7k for rent and 5k for shopping. You see that´s dropped down severely. Now with D (the name continues but let´s introduce him as D ^^) ...we´re going to move in next year but until then the cats and I go over every other weekend plus there are the 501st events, we´re in 2 PNP rounds (Shadowrun 5 and D´n´D 5) and  we´ve got a monthly SW get-together so it´s one free weekend. My retraining is full-time so that kills another 10 hours every Mon - Thu, 6 every Friday.  I´ve started bullet-journalling (yes, I do have one for SL, too XD) and I´ve started to clean my inventory, take pics of the  stuff I didn´t take pics of back then (accessories, poses, furniture, textures) - I´m down 21k (still 62k in there^^).
Plus there´s these damn Mesh heads. I´ve demoed everyone and their kids and moms and whatever I could find... NOT ONE I liked... so this will take quite a while, too.
You get the idea, IF I´d return to blog there´d be waaaaay less  PR, it´d basically just be:

• yadda yadda -> post
• crosspost to either Blogspot or WordPress
• FB: Blog page and Kasha´s page
• inworld groups
• Flickr

plus it´d be waay less frequent of course and not regularly. I just can´t tell how much I´ll be on tomorrow, next week, what have you.
I miss blogging, I really do. But that´s the only way it could be. There´s no way any sponsors would accept me (back) like this so I wouldn´t have sponsored posts and deadlines either.
Ok ,now you´re informed what happened, why I did what I did and yeah. I´d love to talk to you though. Via IM inworld or on the forums? I´m quite active there...
Til then,
Love,
Kasha
