Update: Things Are Weird
Hey team, I wanna get ahead of things, so here's an update: I'm not sure what the status is on this month's video(s).
My plans for January have been disrupted by health crises. I've been to Urgent Care twice in the past two weeks. Just so you know: I'm fine. The first thing seems to have been a weird, passing bug possibly exacerbated by an ear infection, and the second thing was a case of "you didn't take the antibiotics we gave you on an empty stomach, did you?" I can't eat anything but saltines and white bread for a few days, but I'm otherwise perfectly healthy.
As you can imagine, this has disrupted my productivity.
There's still a week and a half til the end of the month and I'm a decent way into this month's work, but I have a tendency towards over-optimism, and I'd rather say "there's a chance things won't come together" and then deliver than say "I'll get you something by the end of the month" and blow it. Things should be fine [tempting fate] provided nothing else goes wrong [/tempting fate], and maybe I'll at least get you some rough cuts, but we're gonna see how things play out.
I know the last 12 months have been a long string of delays and cancellations, and I hate to set up the possibility of another, but my guts had other plans this month. I'll keep you posted.

I'm a new patron, and it's going to take years before my contribution will come close to matching the value I've had from the content you've already made - let alone new content. I hope you allow yourself the rest and recuperation it sounds like you and your body need 🙂❤️
Some of your best work has come out in the last 12 months, take all the time you need.
No worries, I'm always willing to wait for your content (it's worth it). Take care of yourself!
Get well soon!
All us humans have bodies, you're no different. Please take care of yours. :)
I am legit as much paying for what you have already done as I am for what you are currently doing, so please please take care of yourself.
Hear hear!
Just adding to the pile that you should take care of yourself first and make content 2nd
Oh no! You take care of yourself first man! Being on sick leave doesn‘t mean your work waits for you and you need to catch up on all of it once you‘re better, it means you can’t do the expected work in that time and once you‘re better, you just continue your normal work. It‘s that way in a 9-to-5 (at least a responsible one); don‘t treat yourself any worse just because you‘re your own boss. If anything, treat yourself better and allow yourself to actually fully heal before you‘re expected back at your desk.
FOUR WEEKS. Every decent country in the world gives their workers at least four weeks off a year. You've used, what, three days? Five? of that? Honey cut yourself some slack.
I just want to say I love that you make these updates. It makes me feel really appreciated as a supporter.
Feel better soon!
Illness this winter has been BRUTAL. Hope you have a speedy recovery. We're okay with waiting for great content. <3
You're fine, humans get sick sometimes
Hope you feel better soon!
What everyone else has said - you and your health come first. Glad it sounds like you're on the mend, hope you're back ship shape ASAP!
Resilience is resistance, right? I'm glad you're taking care of yourself!
We’d rather have you well and productive long term than have you push it now and crash badly before too long. Good luck fully beating this bug and getting back to optimal health.
Take care of yourself man
Glad you're on the mend!
Take care, look after yourself
Gad! Be well soon sir

Hope you feel better. Don't push yourself beyond what you can take!
