Quick Update
🕑 Added 2023-10-21 17:00:06 +0000 UTCHey all! Sorry for the radio silence since my last post and the lack of content this month. Unfortunately, October has just not been a good month for me, and I've been struggling with a "death by a thousand cuts" scenario of different issues eating up all my free time:
• I switched mobile carriers this month due to issues with my now-old carrier and also to help save some money on my bills. As part of the transfer, I had to upgrade my phone to one compatible with my new carrier's network, which meant transferring all my apps/data/contacts and re-initializing all my accounts and 2FA on my new phone.
• I have a close family member who has been dealing with a lot of health scares recently, so I've been spending time with them for moral support.
• I try to keep myself in decent shape with regular exercise, and during one of my workouts I must've used improper form on a lift or something, because I injured my lower back and was in debilitating pain for several days. Bending my back in any direction more than a few degrees was excruciating, and made sitting down for extended periods of time to concentrate on Blender work impossible.
• Since I do keep myself fit, my back only took a few days to heal to 100%, thankfully. But no sooner was back healed, then I came down with a nasty sinus infection (or maybe cold or flu) that has left me feeling constantly fatigued and made my head foggy.
Anyway, I truly hate typing up posts like these; I feel an intense amount of guilt and anxiety making excuses instead of delivering content. I'll try my best to see what I can do with the rest of the month. Thanks for sticking with me <3

Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words and continued support! I know 2023 has just been a very rough year for me, unfortunately. On a positive note, though, when I *do* find the time for Blender, I can tell the quality of my work has continued to improve. I just need things to calm down a bit and also learn how to work faster. Or maybe experiment with sometimes making simpler renders with less detail just to have fun with an idea and make something instead of nothing.
