Doesn't need to be anything major. Even minor everyday annoyances count.

I used to have to work for a living, but chemotherapy and other cancer treatments have destroyed my short term memory, my ability to think straight, and I can’t remember what I was going to say next. So now I’m living on savings until I work out what to do next, but yay, I’m not a wage slave any more!

(Gotta find a way to turn this into a positive)

All this doesn't qualify you for disability benefits?

This cancer sounds like a real jerk - you better kick its ass.

If you are clever and lucky you can turn yourself into an LLC and find a way to make money and you won't have to sell your days. I did web design for a long time and could still spin up a company if I tried (I'm not trying and still people keep getting sites out of me...) but now I'm working on a manufacturing project to see if I can distribute and sell a product.

When I did web design I could often get away with 3-4 real days of work in a month, earning enough to pay rent and buy booze.

And good luck with the chemo!

What was your process for getting clients for webdesign? If I may ask.
