I recovered from the cold fairly quickly. It was just that I coughed a lot at night; during the day, as long as I didn't lie down, I was actually fine. It felt like the worst stage had passed, but the dizziness and blurred vision made my writer's block worse. There were quite a few typos yesterday—thanks to the helpful folks who pointed them out. They've been corrected now. Sometimes, even after rereading my own writing several times, I still can't spot them.
The next arc will be the main storyline about the mutant slime mold, but before getting into it, I want to write some farming and everyday-life content. So I'm taking a day off to sort out the detailed outline for this part of the plot again, mainly the order of events.
My apologies to everyone waiting for an update.
