EQD Posted the Readings for "Reconnection" and "Breaking the Circle" · 10:40pm Jul 9th, 2017
Well, as Sethisto said in response to my complaint, they've not had an approval mod for audio readings on Equestria Daily for several months. I was directed to refer my submission to the Nightly Roundup section for posting, and lo' and behold: it got featured, each video. 
While I am rather frustrated that I did two months' waiting and had to issue a complaint in order to find out what was going on, I can still relish the fact that they didn't say, "Nah, we've had second thoughts on featuring this."
While this blog does concern some of my videos, I'm afraid I'm just not up to uploading for the time being. The volunteer work at the VA is quite fulfilling, and doing office work and data entry stuff for 8 hours per day is a bit tiring. I have my FM Exam to continue preparing for. I'm sorry my interaction on here is so limited, and I'd love to continue making videos.
I noticed the past four weeks have been the worst four weeks in terms of dislikes on my videos on my channel, yet my subscriber count keeps rising. 
I always appreciate the support and knowing that some people are looking forward to when I return to activity, but unfortunately my ratings fall sharply when I'm not uploading. Strangely, I think someone may be using the "Liked Videos" playlist on YouTube as a "Watch Later" playlist, unliking/disliking my videos when they get around to watching them, as people have been unliking my videos this past month, as well. 
I'm sorry if any of them are trying to get me back by doing that, but you don't become an actuary by appeasing YouTube fans.
I have been up to some other things, although not at all related to this. My copy of Dragon Age: Inquisition kept freezing when I tried to close half the Fade gates, so I decided to buy a brand-new copy, which I'm going to try tonight since I've been studying and moving my grandparents' new and old refrigerators most of this weekend.
I've also made it a mission to fill out my collection of the presidential dollar coins. I've been visiting banks in the area after work as of Friday last week and did some calling around earlier on. I also went to some banks yesterday, and found one that let me check their coin rolls for a couple hours, which was nice, so long as I rerolled them and let them hold onto their equivalent cash amounts as I did so. I now have up to President 22: Grover Cleveland, several spare shiny William Henry Harrisons, two Eisenhowers (not the silver dollars), Taft, Teddy Roosevelt, Harding, and 25 brand-spanking-new Ronald Reagans! 
I still have many more rolls at one bank to check and several banks I've not even made it to yet, and some I might go back to in order to ask if they have any silver Eisenhowers. I've also been keeping track of (and leaving bad reviews online for) banks that have treated me badly along the way.
If I can't get all of the presidents I want around here, I might post to someplace like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace to see if anybody around might have whose coins I'm missing.
Edit: Also, 
Provided I'm not somehow incapacitated.

Excellent work with the presidential dollars. I would assume you're a collector and don't need me to tell you about this or this.
No worries about the messages: you get to them when you get to them

Thank you, Dobermans. I'm afraid the featue hasn't done A whole lot for the viewership, but something is better than nothing, and this marks five features there for readings I've done.
I appreciate the resources. Honestly, I am a novice, but I do know most of what Wikipedia had to say about the presidential dollar coins.
I don't know what that first site was to tell me; it looked like a bunch of coins made from precious metals were on there. Honestly, I just really like the look of the coins and would like to be able to say that I have a complete collection of all the presidents. I love using dollar coins in the place of one dollar bills, too.
If you want, once I am done with the banks in my area for the summer and give a final report of my progress.
I hope you are well.
I haven't said this yet, I don't believe, but for whatever it is worth, congratulations on finally having those videos featured. I just wish it didn't take them so long to do it.
Also, I am really glad the VA volunteer program is proving to be fulfilling for you.

Thank you, although it doesn't seem to be out of any deliberate action of their own. It appears to be that they simply didn't have anybody around to feature it.
Thank you. It really is. I'm just concerned that I may have to take off some days in order to study for my exams.
