The long-short is this: I had an ad deal with GLORY that virtually nobody knew about. It existed and I basically just invoiced their accountant and talked to their web developer for graphics. When I brought it up to a higher-up to try to renegotiate nobody knew that it existed. Okay.
So I shopped around. ONE was super interested. I was leery, but whatever, it was more money. Everything was final, until it wasn't. Then there were snags in payment, they weren't replying to emails, then came the "we need you to come to Singapore to talk through the deal." My friends, the money on the line is negligible to most and I don't have five spare days during my wife's busiest time of her classes.
Whatever.
Then there's the fact that our nanny that we used on the weekends and during the week when we needed to do other stuff moved back to Michigan. We found someone to watch them on the weekends, but then, well, she didn't show up last weekend and wasn't responding to texts. Finding people to watch two-year-old twins is a nightmare, never mind for what we can afford.
My days are 14+ hours long right now and it's not going to get better for a while. You've probably noticed over the last two years how things have slowed down on the site. I just have less-and-less time to do stuff that I used to and there are less-and-less people available to write about stuff at a steady click.
I wasn't able to do the site the way that I wanted it anymore and was essentially still doing it because it was steady, background income for a while now. Dealing with all of the other shit about money the past few months and me having even less time than before has just made it difficult to really give a shit.
I'm not going anywhere in regards to here, though.
But anyway, thanks to all of you, I've always appreciated talking to you guys about kickboxing and look forward to still doing that, just not with a site to post shit to.
