209 - This Is All My Fault. (Patreon)

I am such a freaking idiot. I mean, why else would I end last week's post with: "Unless a meteorite crashes on me during next week, I should have the vid for you by next Monday." Why tempt fate like that?

The post went live somewhere around noon, and by the same day's evening I already felt sick. From that point on my health diary looked something like this:

MONDAY: Did I catch a cold or something?
TUESDAY: That's one mean cold. Hopefully will feel better tomorrow.
WEDNESDAY: I feel even worse today. What the hell?
THURSDAY: Four day in a row of this shit? Really?!
FRIDAY: Am I fucking dying!?
SATURDAY: It keeps going still? Oh, come on!
SUNDAY: Hm... I think I'm not dying anymore. Who-hoo! 

Long story short, I caught a cold but it was a really weird one. My nose was fine, but my throat got ABSOLUTELY messed up. Also the constant, painkiller resistant headaches. I never had a cold this this bad in my entire life. On the 3rd day I could not drink water without tearing up involuntarily, because every swallow was so painful. Could barely eat anything and let us not forget the fever of course. On the 4th day there was still no change so I decided to try one of those COVID self-tests and it showed positive. It actually made me feel a bit better emotionally because that explained why this cold felt so strange.

I any case, I still feel like crap. But the fever is gone and I can eat food without crying so yay for that. ^^

On the downside I didn't do anything productive during this week so no video, no nothing. Again, this is all my fault: if I didn't announce the video before it was actually ready I would not have to postpone it again and again and tempt fate with weird meteorite metaphors.

From this point on I am returning to my well-tested method of promising things by saying coming soon*. The gameplay video is coming soon* guys! ^_^

Getting sick like that give me another opportunity to take a look back at my life and the way I do things. I didn't seriously think that I was going to die, but this still reminded me that I should work much faster because there is always a chance that something would go horribly wrong and my project will never see the light of day.

I also thought that if by Monday I won't feel better I would probably just do a Monday Post consisting of just one line of text: "Feeling really sick. See you all next Monday". Thankfully it didn't come to that and I can now give you dozens and dozens of lines of text. ^_^

Anyway, I think I will finish this post now, before I say something weird again. I got sick, but feel better now. New content is coming soon* Love you all dearly. Now I'll go sleep some more...........
