Update: Things Are Weird
Added 2020-01-21 15:08:43 +0000 UTCHey 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 🙂❤️
2020-01-26 21:06:34 +0000 UTCSome of your best work has come out in the last 12 months, take all the time you need.
2020-01-24 16:21:07 +0000 UTCNo worries, I'm always willing to wait for your content (it's worth it). Take care of yourself!

Eli Bosnick gets to change his patron name because patreon gave up on his blog too
2020-01-21 21:04:47 +0000 UTCOh 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.

2020-01-21 18:57:39 +0000 UTCFOUR 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.

2020-01-21 15:30:48 +0000 UTCResilience is resistance, right? I'm glad you're taking care of yourself!
2020-01-21 15:30:14 +0000 UTCWe’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.
