Hi again
Well I've lately been away. By that I mean it's been nearly over a year since I last posted any writing.
I am going through stuff.

My school is ceasing operation (closing forever) .You probably don't know this, but I work(ed) at a Private School, which is a parochial school under the diocese of San Juan, managed by The Dominican Order.
It is closing down due to the universal problem of low childbirth rate and for my country specifically the low count of school-aged children, which happens for a number of reasons including: 1) the lowest childbirth rate in our history, 2) the high immigration rate of young families, and 3) the inability for people to continue to pay for their kids' education.
{Being realistic, in the state of the world, who wants to raise a child?}
The public system is seeing a lot of changes in their own matriculation rates too, just not as bad as the private system has it. They're also facing the end of The Department of Education.
I've worked at that school for a few years. I am on the spectrum and BIG changes are hard to swallow for me. I take time adjusting to changes and this is a big one that I did not see coming. I am glad we were told months before it has to close down, but, still, knowing that I will NOT be seeing the same faculty that so kindly and openly welcomed me at the school is difficult to accept; it is also heartbreaking that I will not be seeing any of my students again. I love those kids. I've seen them grow and change. I wish I could've seen them graduate highschool!
Alas, that is a big thing that I am dealing with.

My old external hard drive is NOT working. It suddenly gave up working while I was transferring some files. I had a lot of stuff in it that I cannot afford to lose.
Pictures of my grandparents, my no-longer-with-me pets, my old house and generally pictures that defined my late teens through mid twenties. I plug it in and it won't work,but at least it is not clicking or making a weird buzzing sound the old hard drives make when they're dead.
I am looking into data retrieving software.

With that hard drive not working, the BULK of my longest fanfic, "Lusting" is gone. I will have to go back to the old archives to see if i can salvage at least some of it. I absolutely hate this.
Most of the work I face to lose right now is literally MOST of the early series. That is over 100+ episodes I wrote between 2011-2015.
I may have to write a whole-ass time skip with detailed passages of what has happened to be able to give it continuity. I am very angry that I was not savvy enough to do copies or have cloud copies. All that I have is the files in different parts of the internet. It's a broken puzzle. Those of you who are reading it, may have to wait another long while before anything is posted :(
Can that be remedied? Will I have readers interested?
