Chương 254: Author's Health Updated: Story will return Friday the 16th!

Hi Everyone! I've been trying to work on chapter 32 for my Patreon, but my social obligations to my friends and family unexpectedly continued past Thanksgiving. I thought I could do both, but (maybe because I've been isolating myself more since the pandemic) spending time with the people I love and haven't seen in almost a year took a toll on me mentally. My son has also been sick for around 9 days. So, on top of social obligations, I've also been taking care of a sick 7-year-old.

Basically, I have been too drained physically and mentally to get my edits done. That's my bad. I should have realized that I'm not as young as I used to be and can't push myself anymore for my own health. I'll try to be more aware of my physical limitations in the future. The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. Now, for the reason I'm going on hiatus for a full month.... my kid's cough has gotten so bad that it's been keeping me up at night.

Then I have to watch him all day since he can't be at school while this sick. As you can imagine, I am utterly exhausted. Today, my sinuses began to feel congested/inflamed, telling me that I caught the cold my son has. (I already picked up some fresh ginger and lemons to make tea T. T) Knowing my body, I'll be sick for about two weeks. I still plan to be off for Christmas and New Year's.

Since that is way too much time to go without posting a chapter, I'm pausing billing this month on my Patreon and letting you Royal Road readers know what's up. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. You all are the most fantastic readers I could ever ask for! I hope you all have wonderful holidays, a merry Christmas (to those who celebrate), and a happy New Year! - T. D. Rochester
