solid concrete ideas here broken down into manageable bits, are you making progress?
Wow. You must have been really bored at work today. Lol. Well, I'm not currently making progress because so much has changed in my life. At the time, I did start on all that but things kinda fell apart after my uncle got sick and my grandfather had his stroke. I guess right now a big portion of what I'm dealing with is that I feel like I can't make another list like this, since I don't know when my life will be my own again and because, between meds and the bipolar, I'm just not confident that I can perform at that same level. But, fuck, I'm really glad you brought this back into my attention because it gives me alot more to think about going ahead.
