ST seems dialed up today, so let me explain why I'm so tired.

Historically, one of my clients has personally posted my content.
Over the past month, that person, whose business has exploded and I couldn't be prouder, has had three different trips. So, he's had someone else handling his usual duties.
When this person asked me how my publication schedule worked, she stressed that she didn't want to fall behind or let down me or her boss.
So, I gave her the schedule but forgot to include one key portion. I didn't tell her that I always aimed for a 10-article stockpile so that we could cover slow spots on the schedule.
For three weeks now, we've accidentally been in a race wherein I write more to add to my stockpile, which causes her to worry that she has fallen behind and post more of my content. So, I cannot catch up no matter how much I write. She was doing her job exactly as expected, but since I forgot to give her that one key instruction, I've been Sisyphus with the rock.
No matter how much I write -- and I worked for 23 hours Saturday/Sunday -- I cannot get caught up. When I turned off my computer on Sunday, I had -finally- reached that point. Then, literally half my stockpile got posted in the next 12 hours, which allowed me to deduce what was happening. But I'm wiped right now. I don't often hit E on my content creation tank. I'm definitely there this week.
And next week is a fiscal earnings call and the final vote on DisneylandForward. So, I'm stuck pushing that rock up the hill for at least another six days.
The moral of the story: always be precise with your instructions. My Grammarly updates have been LIT this month.
