Hey, Humbots and Humbros. It has been quite the week. We have had this like massive rainstorm here in California.

In San Diego it hasn't been that bad, but it's just so cold. It's just so cold.

And I know that San Diego cold is nothing compared to like Minnesota cold or like Canada cold.

But like it's relative, okay? It's relative. It's cold to me. I live here and this is what I'm used to and it's cold. It's cold. Okay, just trust me. Just trust me. Anyway, so this episode, really, I don't know what it is if it's just like January has just been like the month of

audio technical difficulties when I finally listen to the file I'm like why is there

so much wonky stuff?

So there's just been a couple of technical difficulties with the last few episodes and I've had to learn

how to do more than usual and it has sort of just put me behind in my regular schedule and then I opened up recording batch sessions which took an entire day.

And so again, like ADHD and trying to compartmentalize everything and trying to get everything on a schedule.

I'm getting better at it, but I'm still a little wonky and that's okay.

So I just wanted to apologize to my Patreon because usually they get this a lot earlier than they did this week.
