Just a Rainbow Zebra Unicorn

So I don't want to dwell on my own struggles but I do feel that sharing a bit is essential at this point. So for anyone that is curious why I take longer than intended and unplanned/unannounced breaks from streaming or well everything I thought I would share a little.

So a bit of background to help those that have asked about my random unexpected breaks from streaming. Sadly, they are beyond my control, but I am working on ways that might help smooth over the lapses with other content. But we'll see how that goes, I have to get some preparations done to make that work.

So the biggest reason why projects stall and I get sidetracked has to do with chronic illness. I have EDS and along with it POTS and some other comorbidity issues. These conditions on good days are an annoyance, on bad days pretty much prevent me from doing much of anything.

This is not the only cause, to be clear I do have some regular events during the year that reduce if not completely stop my streaming for a few weeks including Fantasy Faire. My time during those events is more limited and when my energy doesn't play nice it means I just don't have the ability to stream.

I have been on an unexpected extended break this time because my POTS symptoms worsened without warning and I have managed to injure my neck. The neck issue seems to refuse to get better or go away so I am being sent to Physical Therapy, hopefully they can help me out.

The difference between being able to play a game versus streaming for me is in details. To stream I have to be at the desk. I can play on my laptop while propped up on pillows in bed if need be, but there is no possible way I can play and stream from the laptop unfortunately.

I am not explaining this to get extra sympathy, I just felt those who do enjoy watching me deserved a bit of information as to why I stream for months then suddenly vanish.

I am working on other ways to make if not the streaming at least other content more consistent. Including this blog with small mini guides. For now, mini guides is probably the best fit. I see a lot of people ask the same questions so plan to focus on quick answers to those while also getting a better handle on video editing. This is not something new to me, but digital editing certainly is.

Anyway, before I ramble on in other directions, you know me, let me just say, thank you to those who asked and to all who watch when I can stream.
