So, I went through a brief burnout episode (can a burnout even be brief?).

I shut down from doing absolutely everything in my life, from working to church stuff, until today, when things seem to have normalized.

Many things that I could individually have dealt with aggregated to cause it:

1. Higher writing load;

2. My grandma passing away;

3. Finding out my father is probably on the early stages of Alzheimer's (and as the elder son, the responsibility for supporting him falls on me);

4. Socializing too much, for too long, in too little a period of time (I'm a "hard" introvert);

5. A forced change in my sleeping schedule, which in turn caused changes to everything else in my routine;

6. A bit as a consequence of #5, not exercising anymore (which is the one thing my doctor said that someone with ADD can't stop doing).

I'm mostly fine, but I think I need the rest of this week to make sure. So, I decided this week and the last one will be unannounced, forced vacation. Sorry.

IF YOU WANT A REFUND, JUST SAY THE WORD (COMMENT THIS POST OR PM ME) AND I'LL DO IT, NO QUESTIONS ASKED, NO HARD FEELINGS AT ALL.

On the plus side, this kind of thing won't happen again; not for this reason, at last.

Last time it happened, it was due to a emotionally exhausting trip. I thought the actual travel was the reason, but now I learned I must also plan ahead for whenever there are upcoming social gatherings or abrupt routine breaks. They suck all the energy out of me.

Writing serials like this come with their own challenges I never expected. I'm learning. I'll do better.

Sorry again, and thanks for understanding.

Dude, get some rest. You have more important concerns than this story right now.
