Sleep deprived post of love <3 (Patreon)

Hi friends. Like I mentioned in the last message I sent, I've been running into computer troubles. Today things kinda boiled when my hard drive started to fail nearly every hour. I bit the bullet to go buy a new drive and basically start over with a fresh install of Windows.

Since then, I've spent the last 10 hours configuring Windows, installing software, and trying to salvage as much as I can from the old hard drives. Thankfully, most of the valuable stuff is safe and sound and I can always try to dig through more of the drives later. Right now I just want things working again. Needless to say, I'm pretty mentally exhausted.

While this wasn't a huge purchase in the grand scheme of things, and hard drives are pretty cheap these days, having the flexibility to do something like this was so incredibly valuable and I have you guys to thank for that. Without my monthly Patreon allowance, I'd have to figure my checking account against the bills for the rest of this month and figure out if it's something I could absorb or what sacrifices need to happen.

Alternatively, I could have continued to watch Windows slip into senility and corrupt all my my work file by file. The past week has been very stressful.

Hopefully I'll be back up and streaming for Wednesday, but I have no guarantees at this point. I have a lot of work left to do to put all the pieces back together. 

I just wanted to let you know that your support at all levels is very genuinely helpful. Patreon is a great safety net for when things like this happen and I'm so happy to have you there to support me <3
