Update time

Well, in some ways being laid-off was a good thing. It gave me some time to figure out what I really want to do & how I want to structure my life. I'm very happy with my decision to work for myself. However, needing things to get off the ground very quickly caused a great deal of stress. It was hard to figure out what was going to pay off first.

I've been on unemployment all summer, also working here & there. I sold some items and have gone through much of my savings. I've made strides in developing other income streams, but the stress of the instability has made me less efficient than I'd like.

I've decided to pursue a regular part-time position to introduce some stability & structure to my plans. I don't know why it took me so long to come back to this; it was part of my plan to transition out my full-time job at the beginning of the year anyway.
