Taking the week off! (Patreon)

Hi guys, I will be taking the rest of March off in order to recharge my batteries and alleviate some chronic pain I have been experiencing. Please pardon the following lengthy explanation:

After two and a half years of more-or-less constant work, with very few days off inbetween, I've developed what I believe is a chronic tension headache brought on by stress and anxiety. I just recently learned about tension headaches, but the pieces seem to fit: A constant feeling of pressure on the sides of the head, with occasional sparks of pain about the neck and shoulders.

If this happened for a few hours I'd brush it off, but I've been experiencing this continuously for more than two weeks now, to the point where I wonder if it will ever go away. A doctor visit and having my blood examined hasn't turned up any possible culprit, but I'm considering getting something like an MRI to rule out anything more sinister.

In addition to avoiding days off, I think my mindset and personal expectations of quality and output is a major factor in this buildup of stress. I've started therapy to attempt to sort myself out and find a balance in my work life.

Having this time off may finally give me the opportunity to put up the comics presentation I made for ANE, which will be going on up on the Gold Tier. I'll also post some behind-the-scenes pictures of my new side-hustle: print-making! It's been quite the learning experience...

Every month I do my best to create as much quality content as I can to make up for the astounding support I've received from you all. Hopefully after this time off I'll be in a better position to continue to do so!
