So sad. Something I thought I had on hand might, likely have been thrown away. Put a grinding halt to my organization plans

Never throw out anything, never know when that ps/2 to USB comes in handy.

Yeah I hardly throw out certain things, think someone else did.
Finally found a possible replacement online. Cables are always a keep though.

The Latest PSA from Canada:
So things have slowed down and i actually have some time to myself at times now. His treatments are over and his side effects have mostly subsided. I donāt miss being up at 2AM and checking through a list of side effects for like 5 different types of drugs to see which one was causing this or that and what to do about it. He still itches at times and gets tired very quickly and sleeps a lot. I have a new appreciation of caregivers and cancer patients. I have seen and heard things I canāt unsee or unhear. I just thank God every day he didnāt have to do radiation.
We talk to the lung surgeon Tues so we will know more then as to what is happening.
Anyways, I hope everyone had a great Christmas/Holiday and New Year. He basically slept through them both. I have missed ya!

I just had to call the police on a freak who stalks me everyday, 'cause he followed me (again) shouting after me. Sure is fun to be a woman with the constant fear walking out of your own homeā¦

Well, I finally got my first Twitch payout, woohoo 
As I said, I was going to give a quick breakdown of it so ppl here might get an idea of what thatās like for a beginning streamer:
I started about 5 months ago (wow, time flies like crazy). Iāve streamed a total of 685 hours. And my first payout is a gross total of $128.55, which means Iāve been earning $0.187 per hour 
(and itās actually less than that because about $31 of that were gifted subs i gifted myself, lol, so that should actually even be deducted from it as well).
To make matters even worse, Iām actually in the top 3.55% of Twitch streamers, and for a few weeks, I was even in the top 1.75%, meaning that for 96.45% (or arguably even 98.25%) of streamers, 7+ million ppl, itās even worse.
(the reason average viewership is inflated here is it only tracks streams that have 5+ viewers to begin with, so take that average viewership with a ton of salt, lol; average viewership for this past month stands at 4.3 atm, though for these past 2 weeks itās even lower)
That being said, I do love it, but I also have to admit it is quite tiresome to consistently keep up with, especially while working a full-time job (and even a bit more than that).

are these good news? were your expectations similar?
your consistency must have been in the top percentile as well

I honestly had no expectations whatsoever. Iād say this exceeded my expectations for sure, especially being in the top 5% like that. I never expected that but thatās also because I had no idea whatsoever about these numbers. This really does show that 95% of streamers have 0 to 1 viewers only, and as soon as you go above that youāre in the top 5%. So although being in the top 5%, even reaching the top 2% for a while exceeded my expectations by far, the truth is that that doesnāt rly mean anything at all and that in order to make this viable youād have to be in the top 0.5% or so.
So on the one hand itās great news; on the other hand it doesnāt rly mean anything unless some growth takes place, and it doesnāt look like thatās on the horizon atm, and the problem is still that to keep doing it the way Iām doing it demands a huge time investment as well as the fact that it does take a lot of time away that Iād be spending with my family instead (I used to game 1 to 2 hours a day, on average, and not even every day) and it is very hard to keep doing while working full-time.
I do love it though, and Iām gonna try and keep up with it for a while more and hope that something happens. Iām not looking to be a āhugeā streamer or anything like that but itād be nice ofc to have somewhat of a consistent viewership and a somewhat lively chat etc. but again, the truth is that this has exceeded expectations for sure, and so just by that metric itās been a success on a personal level.
It is also a success just by the fact that Iāll never have the feeling of regret that āI should have tried,ā which can be toxic in itself, and that Iāve learned a few things along the way as well, not only about streaming and people in general but also about myself.
