Just a little life update (Patreon)

I just wanted to make a post to acknowledge that my posts have been a bit less frequent than they should be/normally are, and that I'm real sorry about that! This year has been an absolute nightmare for y'boy, all of which really kind of caught up to me these last few weeks.

Between - losing my "normal job" at the start of the year, having to start the process of selling our house to move somewhere more affordable, my dad getting a dementia diagnosis & his precipitous decline since May, my mum insisting on caring for him completely unsupported until last week (and only then because she fell and broke multiple ribs and had a blood clot scare) - all combined with the immense and crushing guilt that I live far away in another country and am completely unable to help.

Now I'm a chap with a rich cocktail of mental illnesses to begin with, bipolar disorder among them. So you can imagine that this year's results on the random encounter table has made it significantly more difficult to claw myself out from the tarpit of depression than usual.

I don't enjoy making excuses, and I don't for a second want any of this to come across "woe is me, pity the poor artist" or whatever. I just figure that you lovely, incredible people deserve an explanation as to why I've not been providing yiz with 'The Goods' nearly as often as I'd like to.

TL;DR sorry for the lack of regular updates, this year sucks and I'm trying my best.
