A goal I had when I went freelance was to see more shows and to have more adventure days outside. I haven’t gone through and tallied up how many of each I did July 2022-July 2023, so I can’t exactly compare, but in the year since leaving my staff job, I’ve attended 24 shows/concerts/sports ball and I’ve had 33 days I’d classify as “adventure days”. Here’s to even more of both in the next year!
