Update on updates

Why it's been taking me so long to get to updating anything on the PokeDex site

Hello everyone!

I hope for those of you that celebrated American Thanksgiving, that your holiday was restful and you enjoyed yourselves. I spent most of it trying to remind myself to rest and not overdo it, which is a pretty constant struggle for me.

In August of this year, I had a severe flare-up of the various symptoms of my chronic health issues, including carpal tunnel syndrome and all sorts of unhappy nerves and tendons in both hands, wrists, and arms. In September, I was flat on my face with Covid. Silver lining is that it forced me to not move a whole lot or use my hands, so… recovery was a bit easier there.

I’m doing physical therapy, trying new medications for my primary conditions, and I’m finally getting to see some of the specialists I set up appointments with a long time ago. The good news is that this means I’m recovering and slowly regaining functionality. The bad news, at least for the PokeDex site, is that outside of my day job, I have very little left over at the end of each day when it comes to use of my hands or general energy levels.

I’m really hoping that with the quieter period in my day job’s cyclical work and taking some time off work through December, I’ll be able to slowly start working on web programming again starting in January. I can’t make any promises at this point, though, as much as I wish I could.

Thank you all for your patience, for your support, and for sharing my passion for this great video game series.

Your friendly neighborhood web designer,
