The Inevitable Sick Day
Added 2021-04-17 11:01:01 +0000 UTCFriends:
I caught a bit of a cold this week. I had big plans for interesting things, but I ended up welded to the couch instead. It happens to all of us.
I know no one minds when I take a week off, especially for my health. Many of you have urged me to take it a bit easier and take better care of myself. So that’s what I’m doing. In the early days of my channel, I worked even when I was sick (thank you, caffeine). I can’t do that anymore. I simply don’t have the energy that I used to.
But that’s okay, especially because my Patrons always encourage me to take a break now and then and consider the long-term health of the community. And these days, the community is transitioning more and more to all of you. Your excellent discussions on the Discourse Discussion Board have spread quality information and encouragement to so many people who need it. I can do a little less because all of you are doing so much more.
We will return to regular programming next week.
Thanks so much.
Stay healthy.
--Rex

2021-04-23 00:26:53 +0000 UTCI was down and out with "angry liver" as my doctor called it. Then I caught a nasty cold and now I'm finally getting out to the shop. Take care Rex. Know that while you recuperate many of us are catching up on videos and projects!

2021-04-19 06:40:45 +0000 UTCDid the client(s) have any idea how different the painting was going to be after you fixed it? Obviously it was going to be different, but I though it was a painting of a cliff face, or maybe a castle - that might be due to seeing it on a smallish screen, though

Avi Strauch
2021-04-18 09:43:10 +0000 UTCSeriously, creation of your great vids should not be an exercise in self-flagellation. Look after yourself. I really appreciate what you deliver, whenever that happens to be. Take time out when you or your family need you to. Peace.
Derek Tabor
2021-04-18 09:10:57 +0000 UTCSounds like man-flu. See you next year...
Derek Tabor
2021-04-18 09:09:18 +0000 UTCNew patron here, you could take the next year off and I would still stick around. Take care and thanks for all your hard work here!
Christian Lee
2021-04-18 06:49:07 +0000 UTCComing from a healthcare worker, you made the best call. When you take a week off for yourself, your health and your family you will do better all around and will produce your best content. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us when you're feeling better. Your videos have helped me find away to escape from and get through the nightmare (the pandemic) at work. Get better soon!

John Kiernan
2021-04-18 03:19:32 +0000 UTCGolden, opportunity to read outside your career area. Reading widely as exposed me too much. As a result I have developed a better imagination. I am assuming that a healthy imagination would be beneficial in your endeavors. Sorry you're sick. Can I bring you some soup?

2021-04-17 20:00:45 +0000 UTCUltimately...THE RIGHT CALL. Your health is the most importing thing. We can wait. This gave me an excuse to do something.
Michael Coolidge

Carl Moore
2021-04-17 17:35:07 +0000 UTCI ended up having the flu for three weeks instead of the typical one week because I kept forcing myself to go back to school too soon when I was 18. Felt well enough on Monday and okay on Tuesday, and completely crap by Wednesday.

Hagen
2021-04-17 14:30:28 +0000 UTCIt's alright, Rex, you don't have to work yourself to death this week. We can wait! No, seriously, getter better soon, and get well before you get going. We'd rather you're well, than getting bent out of shape by work.

Rustique Frank
2021-04-17 13:59:53 +0000 UTCTake your time to recover. We'll see you when your back on your feet again. If you think it'll take a week, then take 2 weeks. We wouldn't like to see you get sick again because you didn't take enough time to recover...
Frans van Ballegooijen
2021-04-17 13:47:33 +0000 UTCJust take care of yourself. Pushing will just slow down your recovery
Bill Smithem

Evan Van Dyke
2021-04-17 13:01:31 +0000 UTCStepping away to recharge the batteries can really do wonders, especially for anything with an artistic slant. So relax, feel better, get those batteries recharged, and hit the ground running when you are ready!
Pete Halsted
2021-04-17 12:42:22 +0000 UTCRest changes everything I’ve found. Even when it’s not a situation where you’re sick, just tired. Makes you a better thinker, worker, parent, everything! Get plenty of it and feel better Rex!
Aaron Wasielewski
2021-04-17 12:41:08 +0000 UTCAnd don't forget to take Grandma's medicine for the sore throat - a shot of whiskey with a squeeze of lemon and light dollop of honey. Might take several, just to play it safe. Get well soon!
