Proof Copy of "SLOW CIRCUS" has landed! EXCITING EXCITING EXCITING! (Patreon)

Hello from Vancouver! I just landed on the West coast for the remaining 2 episodes of the TV show that I'm doing some acting on and ...

******SCREAMMM***** ....... *deep inhale* ....... ******SCREAMS MOREEEEEEEEE*****

LOOK WHAT WHAT WAS WAITING FOR ME AT THE HOTEL WHEN I ARRIVED LAST NIGHT:

The proof copy! I'm SO EXCITED! 

I was told it wouldn't arrive until March 2nd – imagine my shock to have it nearly a week earlier than expected! 

I had a rather unpleasant 24 hours preceding my departure where there was a flurry of anxiety-stress because the second of my 2 Disney-mandatory pre-flight COVID tests came back "INCONCLUSIVE" (this often means lab error, or that the nurse didn't swab long enough for boogers, but nonetheless means that you are NOT ELIGIBLE FOR WORK. OR TRAVEL UNTIL IT IS RESOLVED), so they sent a 'concierge nurse' (that's a thing?!) to my apartment at 10:00pm to do ANOTHER swab, and still sent me to the airport early the next morning waiting to hear back for the results with a chance I wouldn't be allowed to get on the plane still ....

ARGH. Long story short, it came back clear and here I am ... except for the part where WestJet somehow lost my one piece of checked luggage on the direct Toronto-to-Vancouver flight. OY VEY. 

Therefore, THIS ... was a MOST WELCOME SURPRISE, and a very nice ending to a rather trying day. And - even better - IT IS BEAUTIFUL. YES YES YES. The quality is THERE! I'm so happy with this! (And .... more than slightly relieved. WOW). 

Now I go through a careful couple read-throughs of this puppy to catch any small style errors (e.g. I've already found that I have the page '46' pagination accidentally doubled up on that page), re-submit those mini corrections, and APPROVE FOR FULL PRINT RUN.

Thank you to all you higher-tier humans who have confirmed your shipping addresses and phone numbers for me! And to my $5 and $10 tier humans, if you didn't put an order in for a copy but now you're having FOMO, you have until MARCH 1st to put in your reservation.
