Living the Dream - 10. Reality Bites

Reality has crept up. For months, emigrating has been exciting, distant and most importantly, theoretical. Something to talk about, plan for, even blog about. Then, all of a sudden, reality sidles in unseen, and chomps hard into my backside. By the time this post publishes, I’ll have twenty one

Living the Dream - 9. Nero

Nero. The Easiest Decision. I wrote last week about the Hassle Hurricane [https://stuartlennon.com/living-the-dream-8-hassle-hurricane/] and my coping strategy.

Paying the Bills [https://stuartlennon.com/living-the-dream-2-paying-the-bills/]‘, I explained that we were assuming zero revenue to start. Hopefully, we will both be generating something, but
