Taking a Moment to Mend and Recharge!
Life, as we all know, can throw curveballs when we least expect them. Recently, I’ve been navigating a particularly challenging season in my own life, and I wanted to take a moment to share what’s been happening and how it might affect things here for a little while.
Over the past six months, I’ve been feeling increasingly unwell, and after some time and investigation, I’ve been diagnosed with grade 3 muscle tears and chronic fatigue syndrome. It’s been quite a lot to process, and honestly, it's turned my world upside down in many ways. Simple everyday tasks have become much harder, my energy levels have plummeted, and restful sleep has become a distant memory.
This, understandably, has had a knock-on effect on my ability to provide the service I’m so passionate about. I pride myself on being there for you, especially when technology decides to play up, but lately, I haven’t been operating at my usual pace. I’ve felt the frustration myself, knowing I haven’t been as quick or efficient as I always aim to be, and believe me, it hasn't been easy.
To prioritize my health and recovery, and to ensure I can continue to support you in the long run, I’ll be working somewhat reduced hours over the next few months. Additionally, I will be taking a much-needed week off, from April 14th to the 21st. This break is crucial for me to rest and begin to properly focus on my recovery from this fatigue.
During these next few months of healing, I would be incredibly grateful for your patience and understanding. I know technology can be frustrating at the best of times, and waiting for assistance can add to that stress. Please know that even with these challenges, I am still deeply committed to being here for you and will endeavour to be available as much as my health allows.
I also want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you. Your support, understanding, and kindness has meant the world to me, especially during this difficult period. It's what keeps me going. My biggest hope is to make a full recovery, to regain my strength and energy, and get back to doing what I truly love – helping you navigate the sometimes-tricky world of technology.
I would like to empathise that I will still be open and operating just at a reduced capacity.
Thank you again for everything. Your patience and well wishes are truly appreciated.
Regards,
Benjamin.
