Thank you, @denmarkguy - it's so good to see you!
And what have you been doing with yourself? Hopefully you've rebound from the shop and on to bigger, better things?

I have to admit that I got complacent because I'd had that gig and was pretty happy with steady money. I did it to myself but you're right, I have been doing this for a while and something always comes up. The big bills are paid and I've still got a few weeks of breathing room. By then, I'm confident that things will pick up. I've got a lot of feelers out.

I know I'm a hard worker. Why dedicate time and soul to someone else's dream? The problem is, my vision is going to take time. LOL The struggle is real!
