Well. It's been a thing, hasn't it? Yeeks.

So last Friday, Business Guy put together a running tally of income vs. expenses for last year, in preparation for tax time. The results were, in a word, bleak.

My gross income for 2015 (not counting a brief spurt of Starbucks salary) was somewhere around $5,000. The good news is that this is up from 2014… the bad news is that it’s only up by $300 ( Read more... )

I hate to do this, but unless I wake up tomorrow miraculously healed (which I don't expect to happen), I'm going to have to punt on Midwest Furfest.

Yesterday, lythandra called me from work to tell me her boss was driving her over to the hospital because she was having chest pains, and while she suspected it was nothing serious, that's not something you ( Read more... )

Fell off doing these over the weekend, because usually by the time I was going to bed, I was already three hours overdue. But it's mental hygiene, I really should attend to it.

If my records are correct, I still owe two people commissions from January; I can only apologize, offer an explanation, and let you know my current plans.

In November of 2012, my mother had a stroke while in the hospital for treatment of pneumonia. In the time since then, my sister, my wife, and I have been spending increasing amounts of our time ( Read more... )
