We moved a while ago into another apartment. Our small dream was to have our own backyard for the doges. They are loving it :) We are paying higher rent on this than in the previous one (it was a student apartment so no wonder). However, our gasoline consumption will be decreased by a lot since our commutes just got halved and we no longer need to drive the doges to dog park to release their energy. So that's good, especially with today's gas prices. There's a market also much closer, so now there's much less resistance to get groceries without a car. My workplace is closer now too, which cuts my biking by half. Convenient.
I've been a bit of a wreck lately. Well not just a bit, the most wrecked I've been. The majority of the wreckedness has been triggered by the stress on my entrepreneur journey. I'm running low on motivation, my attention ability is down the drain, and I'm almost always tired and often anxious, because I don't have enough clients, thus don't get enough income. The business turns profit, just not enough to live off. I know what I would need to do to get more clients. The motivation and focus is why I don't do enough of it.
I've had to get some help for these health issues, so I started psychotherapy. If I was religious, I would say "God bless Finland", because I got 20 appointments of psychotherapy for free by the city/government, so that's good. Turns out I might also have sleep apnea, which could explain, or at least worsen many of my symptoms which are align with depression. has noted that I snore really loud and sometimes breath irregularly. Have a doctors appointment at the end of the month about it.
Strangely enough, I haven't given a flying fuck about covid nor am I really worried about our neighbor being at war with Ukraine. Sure, they could come at Finland, but I think we'll be the last neighbor for Russia to take on, because we were the only country that could defend against Soviet Union in WW2.
But yeah, I guess I'm doing better, because I got this one out. It's usually when I'm quiet that there's a downturn with having no energy for anything excess.
Plan is to find more massage work from a bigger company on the side of my own clients. I'm tired of trying to get enough volume for my own, so I think I'll let it grow organically on the side. Now I'd just rather get some guaranteed income, because I'm getting sick of stress that the unpredictable client inflow creates.
