Just One Obstacle to Overcome
I haven't been as efficient on WA this last week, although I have signed in every day and done what I could. I am still living without electricity, and I am beginning to notice how this affects my performance here. To run a website and take courses, one needs several hours a day, which I knew from the beginning. Sometimes internet cafes have loud kids that are shouting and using vile language, sometimes I don't have enough money for the internet cafe, sometimes there is no internet ...
Since I live in the middle of nowhere it is not a question of simply popping back into the internet cafe later on, so I do what I can. On weekdays I stay after work to do some things, work on blogs, follow courses, etc, but this week that wasn't possible ... In the weekend I use internet cafes, I try different ones.
I need to pay off my credit card, so I am working on that, making payments which leave me just enough for food (for me and 7 dogs and 3 cats) and gasoline, and sometimes I still have to use the cc for more food and gas. I live far from work, so I need a lot of gas money ...
I simply must install solar energy, at least a small plant, so I can plug in my laptop and charge my phone. With that I can dedicate many hours a day and I know I will get much work done. I do not really mean "work" when I say that, because taking courses and writing content is not work for me. I love it. However, I need to fix my cc and my electricity situation. I have a deadline for it.
So, I do not want this to be a discouraging post. I just need to remind myself what I have to do, and if I am not always so active here, then you know why.
I am determined to stay on here, keep on paying for the premium membership, and growing my website. I just may need some time before I can get electricity and dedicate more time to this.
Keep on moving forward, not back.

The fact that you're still here and blogging shows your determination even when life seems to be stacking up against you. You have strength and that will get you through these difficult times.
I feel you, and yes it's not easy to juggle.....
I think that the Solar/Wind energy plant it's of a priority
for you and may you could build your own and add a wind turbine,
it's not cheap but it's a great investment overall and pays itself off!
Maybe it's wort to find online a free ebook or even purchase a book where it teaches in what you need and how to build your own
solar energy plant!
It's not hard to assemble, so may it can be done by you!
wish you good luck and just let you know that I'm also going very slow in the process here at WA and I'm sure we are not the only ones! so take it easy and try to enjoy the ride as that's what really it's Life the ride and not the destination as no one for sure knows
the final ......
Cia:o)
Thst's actually a really good idea, getting a book with installation instructions. Thank you for the tip!
A beautiful piece of land in the semi-desert, 3 km of the highway on dirt road. 30 minutes drive on the highway to nearest town. In the southern Baja in Mexico. It's lovely, actually :-)
I was struggling after my laptop died shortly after joining WA. I was trying to keep up on my tablet and phone. It slows you down but the most important thing is to keep moving forward even if you can only do it slowly. Slowly is progress too! Its better than stopping!
I hope things get better for you shortly.
