So Nia responded to my text and we had a nice text conversation. I really do believe it is the Nia of old. She sent me a picture that looked very interesting. It is hard to tell exactly but I would say she is not the tiny spinner of old, but has aged well.
She admits it is difficult to schedule because of her real life but is really trying to be more reasonable with communication and appointments.
I plan on giving her one more try in the next week or two. If anyone does connect PLEASE post an encounter.
