Forecast: Sick? (Patreon)

Hey, guys!
So my family is sick, and I have been fatigued to the point of blistering oppression for like two weeks. It might be because I'm sick as well, but I'm not sure. When it turns out you're allergic to everything and your immune system is in a constant state of hyper-drive, you'd assume it would be on high alert for germs and other ne'er do-wells in the system, but it is not. It's on the prowl for my own bodily tissues, like a corrupt regiment of city guard armed with truncheons but not a lot of common sense.
It might not be sickness. I feel like I've been staying up a lot while very dumb thoughts swirl in my head. For example: how was it that they got to where they did with Disney's "Tail Spin"? Presumably, someone wanted to do a cartoon about airplanes and adventure, but inside the company, they must have said, "Can you do it with the fat, goofy bear from Jungle Book? Throw Sheer Khan in there somewhere and you've got yourself a deal." Or, was it that someone was told to come up with a show using the characters, and someone at the studio was told it didn't matter if the settings had anything to do with each other - just get a hook, and so long as Baloo is the leading role, it's fine.
These may only be the thoughts my frazzled brain is spinning to while I lay awake at 3 AM, wondering why this feels so important, or they may be the concerns of such gravity that my mind cannot rest until I puzzle it out. Either way, I've started doing breathing exercises before bed, and that has helped phenomenally with falling asleep at better times, but I am still so, so tired. It may be I have a deep debt to sleep off. Or again, it might be that I'm sick, actually. I have a sore throat, but that might just be the allergies.
Anyway, the last episode of Chosen Ones is just around the corner, as soon as I'm feeling well enough to do the recording. But also, coming up, Petirep and I plan to premiere another Pony video pretty soon. It should be the end of next month, in fact, during Babscon in San Francisco!
