Patreon PAUSED for June (Medical Leave) (Patreon)

Hi everyone! tl;dr: I'm ok! But I need a break from deadlines so you will not be billed for June and I won't be posting per my normal schedule. I will be back to normal in July!

So yeah! Remember how back in February  I was like "wow I'm still super tired from when I moved back in January!"  I thought I was kinda getting better in March, so I started ramping up to doing things closer to my normal pace... but then in April I started getting......worse....

At this point I'm having a really hard time keeping up. I don't feel sick per se, I just feel very tired and need to take a lot of breaks after doing even modestly strenuous things. I've been through a lot in the last two years and now that things are (personally, for me) a lot more stable my body has been crying out for a break. 

Basically... it's like you know how Windows is like "hey, you need to restart, sometime soon." and you're like "jesus not NOW Windows I'm BUSY" and so you snooze it fifty times and then eventually Windows is like "your system is rebooting in TWENTY SECONDS better save your work"

It's kinda like that! But with... my brain?

It's serious as in "wow I need to do something about this" but not as serious as "wow I can't come back from this".... yet. I can recognize a lot of the signs that told me I was getting really sick a few years ago but THIS time I would like to... NOT fall as far down a hole as I did before.

So I talked to my doctor and we came up with a plan and I'm very fortunate to also have the support of my employer - I'll be taking a month off my day-job duties. To make sure this break has maximum effect, I also want to pause my Patreon duties. 

I'll still be around and I'll still be drawing -- I'll post what I can-- but I don't want to have the stress of "X must be finished by Y date" for a minute. I'll probably be able to put up the career zine pages (and post SZ fast updates) and I'll work on the hourlies. I'll tryyyy to get a monthly update together at.......some point. That will be late though.

It's at a point that it's very necessary for me, but thankfully it's not so bad that it feels insurmountable. I'm confident that I will be back to my normal soon. Ok! hopefully that makes sense? Something I'm struggling with lately is putting my thoughts together clearly so please let me know if there's anything I can clarify. 

Take care!!! See you in July!!!
