Quick Update (Patreon)

Hey all! Sorry for the radio silence since my last post and the lack of content this month. Unfortunately, October has just not been a good month for me, and I've been struggling with a "death by a thousand cuts" scenario of different issues eating up all my free time:

• I switched mobile carriers this month due to issues with my now-old carrier and also to help save some money on my bills. As part of the transfer, I had to upgrade my phone to one compatible with my new carrier's network, which meant transferring all my apps/data/contacts and re-initializing all my accounts and 2FA on my new phone.

• I have a close family member who has been dealing with a lot of health scares recently, so I've been spending time with them for moral support.

• I try to keep myself in decent shape with regular exercise, and during one of my workouts I must've used improper form on a lift or something, because I injured my lower back and was in debilitating pain for several days. Bending my back in any direction more than a few degrees was excruciating, and made sitting down for extended periods of time to concentrate on Blender work impossible.

• Since I do keep myself fit, my back only took a few days to heal to 100%, thankfully. But no sooner was back healed, then I came down with a nasty sinus infection (or maybe cold or flu) that has left me feeling constantly fatigued and made my head foggy.

Anyway, I truly hate typing up posts like these; I feel an intense amount of guilt and anxiety making excuses instead of delivering content. I'll try my best to see what I can do with the rest of the month. Thanks for sticking with me <3
