Update: I broke myself!

OH, SO THIS IS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE IN YOUR MID-30'S
Last week I was supposed to finish all my Anthrocon take-homes and send them off. I set the cards on the table, fired up the computer for refs, leaned back in my chair... and kept on going back until I smacked into the ground. 99 of 100 times, that would only hurt my pride, but I'm LUCKY and managed to bruise/strain something in my lower back. The result is that I'm on bed rest for a while, and whenever I do get up I have a limited window before darkness descends.
Considering August is my busiest work month of the year, this is really sucky, but I'm squeezing in drawing when I can. (I do have to put the comic first, since my buffer has shrunk due to this.) I'm slower now, but hopefully will be healed enough in a week to get back to the grind. Anyway, this is why I've been so silent on social media recently and why packages aren't going out as early as I'd hoped. A two-week delay isn't the end of the world, but it's huge for someone like me, who is normally reliably quick on turnaround.

FA+

what happened with the chair? did it break or something?
I will be at SPX this year, though! SpiderForest got in, so I'm trying to do my socializing there! If you get a chance to show up, I'll be manning the table for at least half the weekend!
Hope you have a full recovery soon.
I've been doing the chiropractor thing, and physical therapy, since MARCH to strengthen my back. Instead, I'm apparently more fragile than ever. What the heck?!
In the meantime; you can push my Artist Edition book back as far as you need to. There's no rush for me, and there'll be NO pressure from me!
