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

I 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!

Take your time mate

Did 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
Carl Moore
Can the lad from Germany get back in touch
David Hamblin
Definitely take care of yourself. Everyone needs time to re-coop. Love your videos, expertise, Humor and Enthusiam!
Rob Lovett
I can't wait. This is awful! Nah....only kidding! Get well soon fella, enjoy your work, love the learning I get from you. Come back after you are feeling tickety boo! Don't want to see you looking not so pucka! Toodle pip
James Smith
Hope you feel better soon my friend.
Avi Strauch
Get well soon my friend!
Derek Tabor
Seriously, 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
Sounds like man-flu. See you next year...
Christian Lee
New 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!
Ellen Sloan
Coming 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
Get well drink OJ vitamin D 3
Blaine Dunzweiler
Golden, 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?
Michael Bennett
Get well soon.
Michael Coolidge
Ultimately...THE RIGHT CALL. Your health is the most importing thing. We can wait. This gave me an excuse to do something.
Ian Cragg
You just relax and come back nice and strong! Looking forward to the book later!
Carl Moore
Can anyone make a fans rattle

I 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.
Carl Moore
Hi how are you have you any disabled people on your books
Thomas Danaher
Gonna miss that video with my coffee. Rest up, I had the second covid shot and was on my back the last 2 days...
Hagen
You did well by taking a few days off. Get well soon and take care of yourself
Thomas Hverring
It'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.
Vasileios
Speedy recovery. Read a book, drink some tea, the wood will still be there waiting for you.
Rustique Frank
Relax .... get well... we will wait!
Frans van Ballegooijen
Take 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...
Bill Smithem
Just take care of yourself. Pushing will just slow down your recovery
Martin Hartley
Get well soon Rex! Most of us are still coming to terms with the earth-shattering revelation of how few clamps we really need to do our projects.
Geoffrey Wilson
Feel better!
Sean O'Neill
Get well Rex and take care of yourself. God bless!
Greg Preston
Thanx so much for replying to my message while you were sick in bed. I appreciate it even more now. Be well my friend. PS - He got over $500 for the No 1 in as-is condition and you were Wright, James did reply. Thank you for all you do.
Clint
Get well soon!
Evan Van Dyke
Get better. Sleep. And dream of furniture to build, and games to play with your kids.
Pete Halsted
Stepping 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!
Aaron Wasielewski
Rest 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!
Mike Washburn
And 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!
Nick Lauer
Aye get some good rest and relax, can do wonders. Hope ya feel better!
