I’ve had some trouble figuring out how to go about blogging for this week. The last month or so of blogs have all been circling around the topic of the pandemic in some fashion, which I suppose is to be expected to some degree as it’s just everywhere, but it’s gotten to be too much … Continue reading Week Two of Staying at Home

So the last handful of blogs I’ve written for this project have been dancing around what’s currently happening in the world due to the fact that it has been impacting this project.

The market’s still been volatile, but work’s evened out again for the most part, which meant I had the time available to ramp back up on my … Continue reading Trying (and Failing) to Ramp Back Up After a Tough Week
