During the fall of 2013, Kate & I really learned a lot about Mad Munch, as well as living together & working together. We had Sundays off every week, but we're still doing OB & Golden Hill along with our nine to fives.
It was a busy time, but I'm thankful for the experience. I feel that's the only way to tell if you really want to pursue your dream. If you can wake up, do what you have to do to pay the rent, then push on after hours & give it your best shot every time- that's shows how dedicated you really are.
Sure, it's easy to throw in the towel, but those who hang around & keep trying to get better every day are the ones who make things happen.
Even when things go sideways.
We had a roommate that fall who was supposed to move out of our apartment, but when we came home after working a double, he was still there- not paying rent. He eventually moved out after several reminders, but it was an extra something to deal with on top of everything else.
There was a Saturday morning when Kate & I got into a big fight (over what exactly I can't remember). It ended with, "Well, I'm not going. You can do the market by yourself." And, so I did. I wasn't really sure I could do it alone, but I did it.
Months later, we were blessed when a great place to live, right down the block, became available. It would cost me about $100 more a month than our current apartment (with just the 2 of us now there).
But, Kate insisted we take it & I'm so glad we did. "I'll just have to work harder & make more money," I said.
After we moved all of our stuff down the alley, Kate unpacked everything in our great new place, while I went & did the Golden Hill market solo for the second time. The market went a bit smoother for me this time around & when I got home, the house looked amazing. It was a memorable Saturday for us both.
