I'm back home now and now that means it's back to the grind with our son, Luke. They had him medically paralyzed for about a week to let his body relax and build up some strength and lifted that on Thursday. The unfortunate side effect of him being paralyzed is that his fluid balance gets out of whack and he starts to swell up. And the worst part about that is that almost all of the swelling is in his head because of the way his vasculature is which just makes it extra uncomfortable. So we've made a few changes to his ventilator settings and so far so good since taking off the paralysis. He still has some issues but it's nowhere near like it was before. Now we just need to hope that Luke has a great weekend. For some reason he seems to not enjoy weekends and tends to act up then.
June ended up being a stellar month for me. I ended up crossing over 1,000,000 total pageviews for Passive-Income-Pursuit and also had my best month of "non-work" income. Between dividends, interest, and writing I earned over $1k in income that's not related to my regular job. I know I'm not at the point where I can repeat that month after month, but eventually I'll get there. And doing it even once is amazing to me. I hope to continue the writing from this past week and keep that momentum going over the second half of July. I've got lots of ideas for posts, as well as some stock analyses to write, and if Luke will be stable I'll be able to get more a lot more done.

It's been a pretty great week. I've been off of work, a little bittersweet since no work means less income, but I'm so glad that I've been off. I got home a week ago Thursday and Luke was not doing all that well and was extremely swollen....

Well the schedule for work was short-lived because the rig ended up getting dropped. But that doesn't mean I won't have any work coming up I just don't know where it will be just yet. With the price of oil starting to trend higher it could...

Well I'm sure you noticed that I didn't get a lot of writing done this week. That wasn't for a lack of "want to" but just a matter of lack of time. Monday at the hospital with Luke, Tuesday I headed back to work, Wednesday and...

June just flew by like a one day due to the fact that kids were out of school, my daughter's graduation, my mom's visit, our trip to Florida and our rental house back to market for new tenants, etc... Unfortunately I didn't sell or buy...
