Updates and Apologies

General
No doubt some of you have been wondering about my absence yesterday. Maybe some of you are worried.
If so, you're not the only ones.
I have been coughing a lot these past couple days, and I'm worried that I might have Covid-19. Now, to be fair, the CDC reported that people ages 20 to 49 have only a one in five thousand chance of dying from it if infected, but nonetheless I could be that one in five thousand. And the mortality rate for people ages 70 and over, like my Dad, is 5.4%, so I worry about him too. I've been panicking a lot about this lately, and it's left me barely able to do anything.
I have also noticed that lately I have been avoiding eating lunch on afternoons when I do streams. I know, it's not healthy to skip lunch, so yesterday I went to Panda Express and bought some take-out lunch. Then, after I finished it, Dad had me help him out in the shop. We put away an old 1969 BSA motorcycle frame we had been working on, cleaned off the stand where it was, and got the 1973 Triumph TR-7 Tiger from that was hanging in the barn put on the stand. We also cleaned off the table where the motorcycle manuals and other books were kept, and we even cleaned off the computer table. All of this work left me exhausted, and I only had the energy to upload a couple of commissions I had finished off-stream for
DanielMania123. I didn't even get to work on
se6k8g's birthday gift, and for that I deeply apologize, but I will try to clear my queue a lot better.
So anyway, that's what's been going on with me lately.
Current queue:
Thanksgiving Day YCH (sketch completed, inking commenced);
Agumonofalchemy--multiple illustrations for a book project (sketches done, inking to be finished later);
bluejr3--1 six-character shaded color commission (sketch complete, currently pending inking);
Chistoso-TheJoke--1 2-page comic commission (sketches and inking done, coloring and partial shading of first page done);
se6k8g--1 birthday card idea (sketching complete; inking begun).
If so, you're not the only ones.

Joe, don't worry if you have to put off some commission work. Just get some rest and try to stay healthy.
