| Feel free to use this as a weekend open thread, but I thought I would update you all on something I have been working on and why I haven't been blogging here as much as I have in the past.
Those of you who have received e-mails from me know that I started a project over the last couple of months called The Excelsior Files. It is a blog about New York State politics that I am writing for The Empire Page. I have seen limited success so far, but would love to see the blog grow. It is a paid venture, although it's hardly something that I can do full-time for the pay I receive.
I have also been working for a nursery and landscaping company five days a week to give me a second income. It's not what I wanted to do, but it's something until I can find something in my field. I would love to blog full-time, but the money just isn't there for it. I needed a second job and this was it.
My time has also been occupied over the last month because my mom has moved into a new home. We moved a lot of little things over time and then over the course of two days, we moved all of the big things (furniture, appliances, etc.) that require trucks and manpower.
I will start contributing regularly again here and also check out the new blog for other pieces. We could use the traffic and eventually, we could use advertisers. If you're interested in advertising down the road, let me know.
Other than that, how is everyone doing this weekend? |
