Mid-November Update!
Added 2021-11-15 09:59:56 +0000 UTCHey all. I've got an unhappy update to share - I have Covid.
In fact, I've had it for about a week. I was one of the unfortunate double-vaxxed people who catches a 'breakthrough case', as they call it. I was totally wiped out for a few days, it felt like the flu. Now it's almost gone, although I till have to self-isolate until the end of the week, as per the rules over here. Most importantly - I feel fine and I'm almost back to being fully healthy!
The only problem is, it still affects my voice. It's like having a cold at this point - I sound somewhat congested. I've written 5 new scripts in the last two days, but I haven't been able to record them yet. So if you've noticed that perhaps I haven't posted as consistently this month as I normally do, that would be why... Luckily I had a pre-recorded Patreon-Exclusive work that's just been edited, and will be up later today.
You might also remember that I was almost due to fly to Australia to see my family for Christmas, for the first time in three years. Well, that's not happening now, as I won't be able to produce the negative Covid test result that's required to board the flight and enter the country. So that's the second time since Covid began that a flight home has been cancelled. But I'll re-book for February or March and get there eventually.
This isn't a 'woe is me' post and I'm not out here looking for sympathy, but just wanted to explain why some of the posts lately have been recycled content, and also update for anyone who follows what's said in the monthly updates.
Please don't worry about me, I'll be fine. And by the time my voice is back on track in a day or two, I'll have a hot load of great scripts to record, including the next series: Lessons On Being Cool [Bully x Listener]
Hope you're all happy and healthy,
BFx

I'm catching up on your posts. I've caught a bug too and have been out of it since Monday. Now my son also caught the bug. I've had one Rapid test done which came back negative thank goodness. But I'm keeping an eye out for possible lost of taste, smell, etc. Plus appointments made for both my son and I. This morning, my voice sounded like I have been smoking cigarettes nonstop all my life. 😆. Anyway, I hope you get better soon! I'm not mad at revitalized work being posted as a filler. Your earlier work is what drew me to your platform in the first place. 😘 GET WELL SOON! 💐

I hate hearing that about your visit though...but you need to concentrate on your health we can wait until you are completely better

2021-11-15 22:11:47 +0000 UTCYou know you're entitled to gripe every now and then, especially when its legit. I'm glad you're better, and I love your positive attitude. It would take more than slow posting or recycled content to get me to bail on you. I can't wait to hear what you've come up with in your fever dreams, lol.

2021-11-15 21:36:02 +0000 UTCThat's ghastly. This sodding bl***y virus! And your poor parents - I just feel so sorry for them, too. I guess it's going to be another soggy Slade UK Christmas for you! Roll on 2022, or whenever normality returns x

2021-11-15 19:44:07 +0000 UTCLol a “woe is me post”. Honey you can complain all you want! Getting covid and then not being able to see your family is definitely something to be upset/sad about. I’m really glad that you’re doing well though. I’ve had covid and I had it before most people were aware of it so I do understand! It Is Terribke! I’m really glad you were vaccinated though. It could’ve been much much worse. And I’m sorry you don’t get to go home for the holidays. That’s never fun when it’s not what you want. Sending digital hugs and digital chicken soup. 🍲 #GoodSoup LOLs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

2021-11-15 17:55:04 +0000 UTCYup, as bad as it was, it probably would have been much worse without the vaxx. And I'm generally healthy, I run a lot so my heart and lung are strong, and it was still a rough few days. Actually I think it was Friday night of the 5th. Someone who was at the pub with me, who I spent a good couple of hours talking loudly with across a table, tested positive right before I started feeling unwell. That was the reason I got tested so quickly when I noticed something was off.

2021-11-15 17:29:15 +0000 UTCOh dear, please take all the time you need to rest. I know its frustrating as an artist when your body is your medium and illness takes you out.

2021-11-15 17:00:50 +0000 UTCWell at least you can ready plenty of scripts (maybe). Rest well, stay hydrated. Glad you were vaxx'd (I got my booster about a week or two ago) so hopefully no long covid either. Guessing it was going out on Halloween?

2021-11-15 10:14:55 +0000 UTCThank you. Not being able to get home truly sucks, but I feel like I've made so many sacrifices for Covid in the last two years, it's just another on the list. Hopefully changing my flights just isn't going to cost a fortune.
BadFantasy
2021-11-15 10:11:36 +0000 UTCI feel your pain, hope you're doing okay too 💐🍫
BadFantasy
2021-11-15 10:10:07 +0000 UTCThank you! I feel like the time to get better has already been taken, really. The reason I waited a week to post about it is because I just didn't have the energy before. Even texting friends felt like it was too much. I jumped on to comment and post when I had the strength but it was kind of infrequent, but now I'm feeling like my energy is back on track 🙂
BadFantasy
2021-11-15 10:09:09 +0000 UTCyou poor darlin! Terribly sorry that you can't get home for the holidays, how devastating ❤ You're such a sweetheart to worry about content; worry about healing up! We'll be fine waiting a bit. Here's to a speedy recovery, darlin!
