I'm at about 90% right now with a caveat!
As I stated I'm feeling a lot better in terms of being ill. However, I'm not going to be starting back to work on the game until Wednesday (two days from now). Why is that you ask? Because it was brought to my attention by a medical professional, the reason my illness lasted so long could have been because of nicotine use.
I've cut back a lot in the last several years. But, this made a lot of since to me, and I thought no better time to quit than now. Anyway, so I'm currently on day 3 of withdrawal from nicotine (I know some people can go off of it and not have any symptoms, that's not been the case for me). It's affecting my concentration a little, and I'm just jittery overall. From everything I've read they say days 3-5 are the worst.
So, I'm gonna wait it out. We obviously won't have a dev update this week due to me having been sick. Because, there's nothing new to report. We'll just skip this one, and I'll get with you guys on the 8th, that's two weeks from when I'll be starting back.
Glad to have something positive to tell you guys today! Thank you to everyone who was supportive when I was feeling bad. I really appreciate it.
As always, hope you are all doing well! Cheers!

Best of luck with quitting nicotine cold turkey! Glad that you're starting to feel better now and hope that continues to be the case once you're over the worst of the nicotine withdrawals. I'm currently trying to quit as well but have been doing a shit job at it. So hope it goes much better for you!
I vaped for a long time, that's how I cut back, and I got to a really low level of nicotine. It's just time you know. Not saying it's a guarantee. But I had to want to want to quit. Same as when I made the choice to get sober.
It's not just the nicotine addiction, you also have a habit of smoking. Find something to redirect or replace that habit. Many end up eating as a replacement. Try to find a healthy replacement.
I've been drinking water like it going out of style, and being aware to not overeat.
