Seems I have been here for 5 months. I was sure it was longer :)

Time for an update!

## Stats

I acquired 100 followers in 3 weeks but only 300 after 5 months.

Ouch.

On the plus side 312 posts in 5 months is pretty good, right?

I also feel like I could have done better than 341.504 STEEM

## On the plus side ...

I am learning a lot, having fun, and making new friends.

Onwards and upwards!
