December personal update (Patreon)

Hello all :)

As you can probably tell by my inactivity, I'm still struggling with post-covid exhaustion. I'm otherwise fine (including my sense of taste/smell which has fully recovered and I'm so so glad about this!) but my brain is still very tired very often. I do think my energy levels are trending upwards, but it comes and goes in waves.

I've mostly been using my "brain is capable of art and focus" hours to work on Always Human which is very nearly done, and I can share some more page layouts with you. I'll do that later today, I guess?

Otherwise I don't have anything to share from the past month.

A lot of you have, very kindly, told me that you'd rather I don't pause my patreon page, even when I'm sick and not doing anything.

This is very, very kind of you! And I appreciate it!!
(Some of you feel very strongly about this, please know that you are very lovely!)

But I've decided to pause patreon billing for another month. If I don't I will feel very guilty and stressed and I think my brain and body will recover faster if I'm not stressed :)

I guess that's all I've got to say for now?
(I'm going to stop trying to estimate when 7DS will be back because apparently that's just an exercise in futility. I miss my girls!!!)

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate (and to those who don't - I hope that you still get family time and fun and relaxation!)

All the best :)
Ari
