Hi folks,
I figured that I'd provide everyone with an update.
As some
Forum members already know, this past year has not been
good for me.
In the Fall of last year, my mother
had routine hip replacement surgery done. She wound up getting infected with MRSA and almost died. Fortunately, she seems to be making
good progress. Obviously, I
had to
help her with things.
In addition to that, another one of my family
members asked me to
help her with something. This consumed even more of my time.
On top of all of that, something else went wrong that I don't even want to discuss. I don't want to burden
Forum members with all of my problems.
So, for the past year or so, I
had 3 major, serious things all going wrong in my life simultaneously. I felt like I was doing a juggling
act.
The result of all of this is that I was unable to
work on my website for the past year because I
had no free time. Hopefully, optimistically, this situation should remedy itself in a few weeks. I should be able to resume working on my website in a few weeks, unless something else goes wrong.
I have about 5 coins where there are errors in the tags. I need to correct these.
I've received about 20-30 coins in the past 6-12 months. I've been so busy that I didn't even have time to write up my tags. For the past 6-12 months, whenever I received a coin package, I've just been throwing the package in a pile in my den. I now have a whole pile of coin packages that need to be processed.
I
still have hundreds of sub-par (blurry, etc.) photos in my website that need to be swapped out. And many photos need to be re-cropped.
I
still need to add whole, entire sections to my website (
Byzantine, etc.).
As some
forum members already know, I divided my project into 3 phases. Phase I of my project was treating my bronze disease-infected coins. This took 18 months. Phase II of my project was correcting my erroneous and insufficient tags. This took 18 months. Phase III of my project is my website. I began my project in the Fall of 2012. That was 6 years ago. I began Phase III of my project (my website) in November 2015. That was 3 years ago. I now have 6 years of my life invested in this project, and 3 years of my life invested in my website, and there is no end in sight.
