Hi Everyone!

I wanted to get you all a chapter this week but I still feel terrible (though I feel better than last week). On top of still having a truly horrible lingering cough from COVID-19, we had a major plumbing emergency at our home that left us without a bathroom for most of this week. We ended up having to stay somewhere else — which was difficult with a curious toddler. I had to spend all of my time with him while still sick making sure he didn't make too much of a mess at the place we stayed at. It's been a fucking rough week.

Because I really wanted to get you all your chapter, I tried to start editing on Thursday (only a few hours after we finally got our bathroom's plumbing situation sorted out) but my brain was too stressed out. Due to my anxiety, I couldn't focus enough to start. I still feel beyond stressed right now, which is why I decided to take this week off, have a nice Mother’s Day with my kid, and get you all a chapter early next week. This wasn't what I wanted to do but it's what I need to do for both my physical and mental health.

Frankly, I haven’t felt this awful since I had a panic attack in my work’s bathroom when I realized that my artists could lose all their jobs if I didn’t make sure our art was good enough for our clients. I think this is also why I take so much time editing each chapter so it is worth it for you guys.

Thank you so much for your patience. You are the best readers ever! I promise I’ll be here next week with a chapter for sure!

Thank you so much!
