YESSS, you read that title correctly, ladies and gentlemen.
I. Am. BACK! 
I arrived a day later than I was supposed to, but I won't be going away that long again for a while. 
HUGE thank you to all of my staff, especially the news posters who faithfully posted every day and covered for me all 3 weeks and 3 days I was gone. I was so happy to come back and see that PLT now has over 1,000 posts! It's a true achievement that I couldn't have reached without all my loverly staff. :)
