I just moved to a different state for the first time.
It’s both scary and exciting because I haven't lived outside of California my whole life. One thing is certain though: remote work has been a stress-saver.

I thought about dropping my blog when I moved.
Then I snapped the idea like a number 2 pencil, but I’m still stressed. Adapting to a new environment, having no car, and burning thousands of dollars on furniture isn’t a recipe for happy-good feelings.
Side hustles get tossed aside like…
My anxious little chihuahua loves remote work.
No, she doesn’t have a job, though I think she could’ve been a professional shortstop in her prime. My dog likes the “work from home” lifestyle because she has a lap to lie on for eight hours every day.
