Friday 30 January 2026: January wrap-up

I got the January schedule pretty much spot on, but then I didn’t have a lot of spare time in which to do any extras. 

I didn’t quite get the Patreon posts up and running until the end of the month, and I only invoiced for one client edit.

Ah, yes, I heard from that former Upwork client and he became a current Upwork client again. And I had to pander to a roofer.
