Hello Dreamers and welcome back to the show. I want to thank you so much for being

patient and understanding with me over the past month. But I do want you to know

the right headspace to record for you guys. So today's the day. After I record

this I might take a break, have some lunch, take a shower, try to regroup and

then come back and record the Patreon bonus for you as well today. So fingers

crossed that that all goes well. Okay that's all I got for now. That's plenty with
