An update, aaaaand not really a good one. (Patreon)

The family dog, for a while now, has been battling with wobbler's syndrome, a disease that effects the spinal column, and ultimately the ability to coordinate movement very well. Basically, he's a healthy dog until you get to his back legs, which practically don't work any more. Being a Great Dane, it's extremely difficult to help him move when he's having a particularly bad day. Being chest-height against me when standing on all fours, and something like 70kg, you can't exactly carry him from the yard to the house, etc. 

So, there's an awful aura of sadness in our household as we know this can't continue for his sake. There's nothing that can be done about it, either.  It sucks a lot, mostly because of the fact that, as I mentioned, he's otherwise healthy.

As a result, I'm not doing good. I'm trying to be strong, facing the facts as early as I can to try and dull the impact of the inevitable, but the feeling of impending sadness is only getting heavier as the days go on, as we know we have to make "the right choice" soon.

Music wise, things are slow. As you can imagine, this is effecting my ability to jump into composition with any sort of enthusiasm.

As far as a Halloween EP goes, I'm not sure about it this year. I'd like to do one, I really would, but I've got zero ideas and motivation right now, and quite honestly... I need the pressure to go away. If I get one done... great! If I don't... well, maybe I'll just build up spooky things until I have enough, and release a Halloween EP on something stupid like Valentines Day or whatever.

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding. 

Much love to you all.
