So much for holding to a resolution, right?

This past February was a very taxing month. Around the beginning of 2024, I wound up injuring myself and underwent surgery fixing that up. While it was thousands out of pocket to cover such because of my high deductible– I figured being relatively young I wouldn’t have needed it–, it wasn’t until that November I realized that I had been paying for accident insurance as well. I contacted the agency immediately, sent over my paperwork, and was absolutely surprised to be award more than twice what I had spent for my injury.

Then came the question of what to do with it…

Low and behold, I settled upon buying my own. I figured putting the money towards a personal investment would be the best, but the process of looking for a home and balancing my expenses towards such were stressful to say the least. Looking around for what was available, back and forths with my relator, and all while still managing my work and personal affairs were much frustrating than what I had expected, and that’s just ignoring how toxic the current housing market is.

So far things have been going fine. I’ve actually been spending less overall compared to renting, which says a lot about that market. However, once everything was sent up and I about got back to my regular routines, this website kept itching at me.

I spent a good month just conflicted on whether or not I should continue. I don’t have any readers; I don’t market it; I’ve hardly even told people that I have this site to begin with. It’s that same problem I’ve had since the start of this: I want to say something, but just have no idea what to say or why I’m speaking.

I’m not here to rehash that whole idea though. I do intend to get back into challenging myself to write. At least with the extra time, it’s given me more time to think about what to write. How well will I get it done? We’ll see.
