Plan A was an unexpected horrible disaster (from which I have learned a lot). It shouldn’t have lasted longer than half a year, but it did. It has cut off many avenues for me, but that’s good because it’s pushing me into a better direction.)

Plan B is still working but is a pit stop.

Plan C I decided to abandon. Maybe I should reconsider, but I don’t feel like it.

Plan D may have fallen through, too, but I am still thinking about it, because Plan D may actually still be perfectly fine for me. (I made a call and encountered not only a real person but also a refreshing level of honesty. 🙏🏻) I figured that I might probably learn something valuable from it in any case. (Update: I decided against this, after a few web searches, but looked into alternatives, which led to several other options… So I sent two messages and also reached out by phone to one commercial party. Nobody there. So my plans are scuppered again?! I reacted to something else too, but am not expecting a response from the person. Next, I sent a message to a different commercial party. Will call them tomorrow morning. Update: they replied.) (If I cannot get anywhere this way, I will kick Plan D2 into increasing action.)

Plan E is also in place. (I have an appointment later this month.)

Plan F, that is probably what I am hoping for most, but I need to have one of those other things work out too. Ideally.

Plans E and F both contain compromises. That’s life. When I was in my thirties, I thought that the sky was the limit. When I was in my thirties, I also learned that it’s not.

As usually, things are going much too slow for me. 😂😎😊 For this reason, I tend to focus on what I can do. It stops me from getting frustrated. It means that I can maintain some momentum.
