Why Posts End Up Delayed (Patreon)

Im doing it again (after I said I wouldn't). I need to push back DanMachi to tomorrow. Tomorrow I will post Genius Prince, BOFURI, DanMachi and Goblin Slayer.

Let me explain myself: I work a fulltime job Mon-Fri. M/W/F I work from 9:30-6:30. T/Th I work from 7:00-4:00.

I cannot record videos after 10 PM. I live with my grandmother who has Alzheimer's and Dementia (not looking for sympathy or any emotional reaction just explaining the situation) and my Mother who is essentially a full-time caregiver for my grandmother. With that said, my grandmother has a strict routine which keeps her mentally focused. She wakes up at a certain time, meds at certain times, drinks and eats at certain times, and sleeps at a certain time. Throwing off the routine causes many issues which causes more work for my mother.

"But Joe what does that have to do with delayed videos?" Well, my office is down the hall from her room, so because of that, I cannot record past 10 PM. If I do, she wakes up and I throw off the routine. I'm an expressive person and I refuse to hold myself back in my content. Imagine how weird my reactions would be if I'm trying to be quiet (which I would end up failing at because again, I'm expressive). Its part of the reason I don't stream either, I only have time at night and it comes back to that same issue. A huge part of why I'm trying to move is because I have these limitations. Part of the reason it's taken so long to decide to move is because I have been torn by the decision to gain that freedom at the cost of leaving my mom alone to take of my grandmother.

Back to my schedule: I used to be cheeky and record a video during my first hour at work on M/W/F(don't tell my boss), but now I can't because of new tasks at work. This means that I only have an hour before work (8-9), an hour on my lunch break (1:30-2:30) and 3 hours after work on M/W/F. I also need time to eat at some point on top of edit videos, make thumbnails, etc. On T/Th I can only make videos on my lunch break (1:30-2:30) and after work (which is like 5-6 hours). Keep in mind that I also have Diana, my girlfriend that I can't completely ignore because without her none of this is possible. On Sat/Sun I should start having a little more time with Vox Machina wrapped up and  only 2 videos each day with an editor working on one each day. Also, the past 2 weekends have been hectic.

I'm only human. Keep supporting me if you enjoy the content and I'll keep it coming (hopefully on time, but sometimes delayed). I appreciate every last one of you and you can always DM me here if you want to chat about something ❤🤗
