Going the Extra Mile

I guess if you want something really bad you will go the extra mile.
This is a followup up to my blog posted July 10 regarding my progress at WA.
As a retiree on limited income I don't have a working computer at home, I do have one but it crashed just after joining WA but don't have the funds to fix or replace it. I only have an iPhone which I use at home for research which means writing everything down on paper and then taking it to the library where I get to use their computers for 3 hours a day, in 1 hour increments. This is frustrating because I am usually in the middle of something with numerous sites opened trying to do as much work as I can in my 3 hours when I am flagged telling me I only have 5 minutes left before the computer shuts down, so I note all the sites I am working with so I know where to continue when another computer comes available. Some days it taken me between 4 & 5 hours to do 3 hours of work.
My library trips consist of a 2-mile round trip walk, which I don't mind. Total time spent there working since July 10 is 30 hours. I know, I am retired but I have a full time job looking after my 2 year old grandson while the parents are at work. Family comes first.
This is what's happened since July 10.

Besides improving by stats at WA, I published 5 posts, 4 have been indexed on Google. Wrote 2 product reviews, signed up with 4 affiliate networks, 2 independent affiliate sites, and added AdSense to my website.
As I am writing this blog from the library and just for curiosity’s sake I just checked my AdSense account and Holy Shoot (I know, that's S--T with 2 Os), I just made my first .94 cents. Boy am I really ecstatic about this!!!!!! I know its not much but, you have to start somewhere. It just shows you, hard work and following the training you will succeed.
I don't want to take up too much of your time, you know what they say "Time is Money"and I am going to celebrate. The library is attached to a mall, I am going out there and have a burger and a beer,
I feel awesome going that extra mile to accomplish my goals.
Ciao for now.
