Life Is A Spanner In My Works

General
So I'm now employed (hooray!) but I'm working a night shift (boo!) and as a result I really don't know when I'm going to be able to even think about Woods for the Trees properly.
Which. Fucken. Sucks.
Look, I'm grateful and all to no longer be unemployed but it's come with some hefty fucking price. My hours as of next week are 10pm until 6am which means me having to adapt the comic to accommodate my new schedule. Obviously 3 comics a week is going to be right out of the question - I barely managed that when I was unemployed let alone working 8-hour shifts five days a week - so that leaves the alternatives.
After much contemplating and mulling over while I worked the machines today I've come up with these alternatives;
1 - Indefinate Hiatus - (otherwise known as the "not an option" option)
2 - Go back to two-a-week and see how we go - (this is the "most likely to happen" option)
3 - Transfer cartoon to large "Xmas strip" style colour work and do one a week - (the "Mynarski Forest" option)
4 - Have no update schedule at all and verbally attack anyone who asks when the next strip is out - (this is know as the "most irregular webcomics attitude" option)
Now personally I'm looking most at option 2, but I've got a sneaking attraction towards option 3. I dunno, maybe because it's "different", maybe because I've seen many other well loved webcomics that do the same thing, maybe it's because he's the most oddly attractive of all the options.....but there we go.
So that's Woods for the Trees. Shafted by life.
I'm sure the animals understand.
