So mom has shingles and, well...
9 years ago
Tip Jar! (do not pay for commissions this way, please!) Ok, I posted about this a couple days ago, even said I'd stream on Saturday, yet never did, for which I apologize to you guys.
TL:DR version of that link above is that last Friday mom went to the hospital and was diagnosed with shingles (or "culebrilla" as we know it locally). She was gonna turn 60 this August which is when she would have given herself the booster shot for that had stressful situations in RL and other factors not sped up her getting it. I had chickenpox in the past so I SHOULD be mostly okay, but I'm aware I am at risk helping her, but you'll forgive me if I don't care about that for the time being.
So ok, what does all this mean? It means that I have pretty much mentally set myself to be mom's caretaker for as long as she needs it, which means commissions will be slow (still happening if I can do it!) but streams will be either rarer than usual to downright not happening, depending on how things go these next couple weeks. Believe me when I say I hate that I'm back in this kind of needy, helpless situation again, but such is life as they say?
No work from either me or mom means money will be tight for a bit, so I'm be linking to these again:
My usual Tip Jar
Paypal.me
Ko-Fi
Note I am linking to these places to donate purely as a 'just in case' thing for later in the week, as right now we should be relatively fine in that department as just need to focus on things like medication and groceries and whatnot. We have friends, family and our wits, so we'll be okay. Really, all I ask of you guys is your patience and understanding and to continue to be your awesome selves while I'm out.
Y'all can do that, right? Heck yeah I'm right. You take care, folks.
