Sorry I haven't been here for a while!

What can I say, last update was exhausting. Additionally I had more pressure at my work, combined with pressure I felt to give you good content and regular updates, combined with remorse that I didn't spent enough time with my kid and I got a big burn out at the end.

I needed to cut off all social media for some time, it took me longer than I expected. But turned out, when not scrolling on twitter and other platforms for updates, I am not that miserable procrastinator as I was starting to think I am. And I managed to work on something I had on my to do list. September will be the month of new aspirations for kids and maybe not only. Small teaser below. 8+ new aspirations I am currently finishing.

I'll try to reply to all your messages this week.

As for Magic School, it's not abandoned, I was just thinking about bigger update combined with update for my magic careers, I need some good planning for it, to not get lost.

Family and yourself first. Without them, life is boring. Without you, their lives are miserable. We can wait. :) Good to know you are all right.

Thank you! :] I needed this time to organize my thoughts, otherwise I distract myself too easily and modding becomes a job. I don't like it, I prefer when modding stays my hobby and a comfort zone, not a task to complete :)

Always *ALWAYS* take time for yourself, no feeling bad about it. I was a chat host/creator/etc far back including the days when it was all just ASCII. I totally lost it and had a big burnout. From then on, I took a week off at least for my birthday week. It worked for me. But now I'm retired on disability, yay! :/

Breaks are so important! I prefer to treat modding as a hobby, so whenever it starts to ressemble the real work, it's a sign for me to slow down. I have enough of my real work to feel like work hehe ^^ modding must stay my comfort zone and not a task ;)

You shouldn't feel the need apologize for taking time to take care of yourself and your family. That said, I understand and hope you feel better.

Thank you :) well, I am like that, I try to be very good in many things and when I start to fail with some of my goals I start to feel very bad about it :D

i hope you feel better, don't feel pressured to make new things for us, it was your choice to start making mods, you can stop making them if you need to :)

Thank you :) I don't want to stop modding cause I really like it! It's just sometimes overwhelming to combine everything :) I often wish a day had more than 24h :D
