I need an extra week

Hey gang, so I just wanted to keep you all in the loop with where I'm at, mentally, emotionally, physically. Everything.

As you can guess by the title I need roughly another week past when we'd normally release the build update. Over the past month I've been getting drained by trying to schedule and plan things with my family for when I'll be coming home to see my grandmother. Additionally this past weekend I got my 2nd COVID vaccination shot which just put me in a non-writing state. I spent this whole weekend stressing about getting the build out in time when I wasn't able to write anything, and I just kept thinking, holy crap how do I do this. 

I don't want to put my team through a difficult situation where everyone's rushing to edit and program the build, that's bad for them, and the end product is bad for all of you. It's not fair, and I know it isn't fair of me to ask for this, but I need to ask for this.

As you all know, I'm making arrangements to see my family so there won't be a build next month, naturally you won't be charged in April. 

I'm trying to not make this kind of thing a habit, and I know you all are probably very disappointed to hear this. Real life just hasn't been a very good place for me these past couple of months and I need to be getting that together to get myself back on track. Ideally we will still be able to release within March, and just a few days late, however I'm setting the due date for the first weekend in April because I want to give the team at least a full week so that what we give you all, is the best we can.

In brighter news, I do expect this build to be one of our longer builds which should hopefully excite some of you. (Which is part of the reason giving Melo extra-time to program it, and the editors extra time to look it over is especially important.) Additionally while being down for awhile was unfortunate, I am now supposedly immune to COVID which is also reassuring for myself and my family. 

Hopefully you all are taking care of yourselves while we are hopefully approaching the downward slope of this entire pandemic mess. I appreciate you all and your patience, and hope you all are willing to bear with me awhile longer while I spend a month or so losing my mind.
