Progress Report

Not dead yet, promise! Sorry about the radio silence, everyone. They upped the dosage on the new med that was making me super fuzzy and lethargic, in some cockamamie idea it would reduce the side effects. That's, apparently, supposedly a thing with this med? Fuck if I think they aren't crazy though, since I've been fighting against the foggy brain fuzziness again since they did it. I went from almost being on top of everything, back to being several days behind, since even when I can manage to focus properly I'm still not getting as much done per man hour of actual work as I normally do. If the side effects don't fade in a few more days I'm going to throw the pill bottle back at them and tell them to fuck right off. -_-

Anyway, things aren't going great, but they aren't too terrible either. Hopefully, I'll be posting a few more things in the next couple of days, so I'm going to keep this short instead of the usual long-winded breakdown. Rendering for everything is done. That means for both Left Hand Magic and Cara Loft 4. I've done the post processing on the latter but not the former. Post processing on all the Left Hand Magic stuff is my goal for later today.

Aside from that, I have about 2k words of Contract Doll done, and I'm going to get right back to it here in a minute. I'm hoping I can knock the rest of it out before I crash, then edit it tonight to be posted tomorrow. Cara Loft 4 will be right afterward...which does mean things are going to be running way tight on Left hand Magic.

On the plus side, I only have 4 days of content to deal with for the Left Hand Magic Build, which means each step will take a little less time than usual. On the minus side, normally I would have started programming yesterday, at the absolute latest. In any normal month, I'd still be relatively confident I could make up the difference and release on time. As fuzzy/foggy as I've been all month do to aforementioned med? Fuck if I know. I doubt I'll overrun by much, if I do at all. This is a 31 day month, which helps. But the possibility that I'm a day or two over the deadline exists. I'll do my best to prevent that overrun, but at the moment I'm having serious trouble predicting how much I can get done in X amount of time. Which is incredibly frustrating. -_-

Seriously, there is a reason every previous attempt to put me on something like an anti-anxiety med failed. The way they fuck me up tends to result in be being more anxious as I start missing deadlines and such. It's just that, this time, I didn't feel I had much of a choice, since the medical stuff was freaking me out to the point of near daily panic attacks -_-. Can't win for losing, I guess.
