Hiatus time again



Look, I'll be as honest as I can. I am going through some very stressful work stuff right now, so I don’t have the drive to focus on anything else besides resolving it. So until this is resolved, I have to take a break. Sorry to anyone who was actually reading my stuff, but being able to earn a living without losing my sanity is naturally a higher priority than a blog.

UPDATE 2/4/26: So the work stress stuff is still present, but thanks to the recent sub-Arctic weather, it's metastasized into home stress. A flooded basement snowballed first into a new water heater, which then led to a new chimney liner... it's a LOT. I don't like to ask for help, but if you've enjoyed anything I've done, here or elsewhere, & wanna cushion the impending blow, I have Ko-FiVenmo, or Paypal. I'm in a completely dreadful place, so anything helps at this point. 2026 is shaping up to be the year that breaks me, and I don't want that in the slightest.
