So I finally had my insurance settlement (that I was waiting almost 3 years) paid out in the summer of 2013.. The 1st thing I did was take a lesser route for my courier job. I had already bought this website in Nov of 2012.

From June 2013 – February of 2014, I barely made a profit at work, but still had physical lingering of not taking the 6 months off I needed. The symptoms were a lot more apparent in the summer when it is hotter, and I was staring down a long 6 months of warmer weather.

2013 had been a gong show for me personally, and I only made it 2 games at MLB Parks (Safeco Field and Dodger Stadium). I was at least happy that this website was flourishing with a growing network of readers, and we had 40 writers work the season with us.

To give myself some fun for the baseball year in 2014, I purchased a portion of Mariners Season Tickets to attend games. The baseball was awesome, and I had fun, but 10 hour days of going to Seattle and back, then working straight through after arriving home, was a lot to do that much in one year.

When the hot month’s hit last season in July and August. , it was the 1st time I had taken on so much work ever at the job (Twice as much than any other year). I had the 2008 and 2009 summer’s off, I had 2 jobs still in 2010, in 2011 I had a lower paying route, recovering from the accident, the months of June, July and August of 2012 are the only 3 months I failed to turn a profit in the last 90 – with less papers coming back after my 2012 baseball streak.
