This week was a mixed bag. I did better at sticking to my daily schedules, but I obviously didn’t keep up with the blogging.
I did, however, create a digital product and put it up for sale. It’s basically a 12-page coloring book of hand-drawn line art. No AI in sight there, just my homemade stuff. I hope that some of my friends will purchase it out of sympathy. We’re in terrible straits financially. Any little bit will help. I feel like offering something in exchange for money is better than starting a GoFundMe at this point. In any case, I am glad to have something out there. Doing something, even if it fails, beats the pants off of doing nothing, which is opting into guaranteed failure.
I have some gig work coming up, plus my disability payment arrives this week, and we have some stuff around the house to sell. None of these is a permanent solution, but we do have some potential solutions on the horizon. We just have to pay our rent in the meantime.
In other positive news, I got out for a little socialization today. I need more of that in my life.
