Life. It happens.
Mar. 2nd, 2020 10:10 pmI've been working for myself for just barely over a month now. I am nowhere *near* paying all my expenses from product revenue, nor did I expect to be this year, let alone this month.
I am, however, making good time on things like "get lots of blog posts written and start publishing them" and "put together a Slack workspace for people who buy my stuff to discuss it". Overall it hasn't been a bad month.
I am not as far along on video. It turns out, video is hard. This has surprised me a number of times and will no doubt do so again. I'll keep at it.
We're all doing well. This winter in Inverness has been surprisingly mild, and apparently Pittsburgh was *great* prep for Inverness - despite being much farther north, it's not as cold.
The house continues to have annoying problems. We continue to fix them. This is expensive, though not as expensive as it would have been in California. We hope after we've done that for awhile we will start to run low on problems. This may be unreasonably optimistic. Too early to tell. We have, however, had to do repairs in all six (!) bathrooms, plus a variety of other stuff, only one of which would have burned down the house if we hadn't found that electrical problem next to the wall full of mould.
I'm making it sound worse than it feels day-to-day. The day-to-day is really good. There are just random annoyances in between, which is approximately the definition of the word "life."
