I Live! Oh lord its been a time. (Patreon)

OK so I made it through the ice storm that no one prepared us for and our state damn near abandoned us for. I can tell you it was a miserable ordeal but thankfully I wasn't the hardEST hit. I was out of power for 2 days straight then had surprise multi hour blackouts for 2 or 3 more, water shut down for 2 days in the middle then was under boil only (to clean it to drink) up until TODAY with plenty of blackouts overlapping where I couldn't boil shit (electricity only in apartment, no gas).

In short, spent the week in 4 layers of clothing bundled on my couch not able to do anything where it was below freezing in the apartment, I had a little food that I stretched out and thankfully didn't run out of water I had sat aside before (but best believe me and the roommate were just taking sips). I came out of it smelly from no shower, hungry for a hot meal which I hadn't had in over 5 days, unable to work with dying electronics barely able to check on stuff, and came out of it just a little dehydrated with a bit of a cold (now feeling ok). 

I made it through though as did my family and friends I contacted here. I have my (relative) health. I'm getting back to work now and I have a LOT of things to catch up on. Thank you to all my patrons, old and new, and here's hoping to safety and sanity in all this mess.
