timing is everything

So you all know that the past couple of weeks have been pretty life-changing for me. Leaving the security of a full-time job to pursue self-employment could be seen as INSANE or at the very least, RISKY. Adjusting mentally to having a not-steady paycheck and having a totally different schedule and lifestyle than ever before can be a little crazy.

Just when you think things couldn’t get any crazier, they do.

yup

Um, yeah.

(I haven’t posted this publicly quite yet, because there are still a few straggling family members I have yet to tell (we have of course told our parents, sisters, etc and a few close friends) So if you know me in real life, please HUSH! ;) And keep any comments about this restricted to this post, please!)
