I know alot of you are sick of these posts but I really need some ideas here on whats going on..

Ive been on SM almost 2 y now. Started working around 25h a week instead of 16h last summer. My hourly went up and got stabile around december/ january. I havent taken more than a single day off since August last year (maybe I was off 3 days then?) but this year I had to travel to my country of origin to deal with some stuff, so I had to take like 8 days off in a 2 week period.

Last week was my First full week back, and all was normal. Starting this ”SM” week, I made like 2/3 of what I usually make. No biggie. Next day, same. And the next. Now going on 4 days in a row with noticable less earnings than usual. I sit alone for extended periods Which also usually never happens.

I havent had this low avarage hourly since before it stabilized almost a year ago. I guess I am wondering - has this happened to anyone else that is ”established” on SM? I know its competition week but that havent affected me like this before. Could it be because I had those days off? Is it something special happening this week in the US (since most my clients are american)? Are they just sick and tierd of me?

I guess im just hoping for some insights or maybe hear if its happened to someone else for One wierd week and then back to normal..
