I meant to post the stream poll yesterday, but I got back from work at like 10pm and was tired sore from head to toe (from doing art things in awkward positions for hours). I have no energy to even play any games because of the holiday rush. And Chip (who I think is my boyfriend but I haven't spent much time with him in a while??) pointed out that I have a pretty awful work/life balance right now. I looked at my timesheet for the first half of this month and realized that the only 4 days I had "off" from work were the stream days. Which is also work! Which is why I've been cancelling like, 1 stream per week, just to have any time to decompress. I don't have weekends off. Having 2 days off in a row is like a beautiful dream to me right now, lol.  Chip suggested I take a stream hiatus 'til the holiday madness is over and I'm pretty sure that's a good idea. I'm not burned out yet but hoo boy I feel it encroaching, lol.  I'm also considering changing the times I stream?? I don't get a ton of viewers in the timeslot I currently stream in (not as lucrative/conducive to growth, kinda stagnant as it is), and I think it'd be better for my work schedule anyway if I streamed at night?? I was thinking Tues/Thurs at like 7:30pm CST/8:30pm EST/4:30pm PST/12am GMT, sorry Europe :< Are there other streamers y'all watch that that would majorly clash with? Please comment! <3Here's a poll just so I can feel some quick feedback from you folks, haha. Thanks for being sweeties. I'm real bummed to do this but I don't wanna lose my marbles!

Staying sane is hard enough as it is. Do what you gotta do! :)

As a behavioural scientist I have to agree that avoiding marble loss is the best plan for everyone. Take care of yourself VB

You have said yourself that you would like to see the streaming/LPing like a job. You are allowed to take a vacation from your job. Even a job you like. Don't burn out. Chill. Play some games just for you, or don't play games if you're not feeling it, and come back when you're ready.
