Barnivore

All caught up - times two!

A minor milestone, but one worth celebrating - the submission queue is empty!

This happens, oh, a few times a year, but generally I'm at least a week behind. Usually I find a block of time on the weekends to catch up most of the way, and then things happen during the week (job, kids, school, gym, and so on) and the count creeps back up.

And I'm typing fast right now because it'd be great if I could finish this post before more submissions come in! That's the thing about Barnivore; you're never really caught up, which can make it a bit of a mental slog to keep basically treading water 100 feet from shore, not knowing if you'll ever get to land.

But that's why we're here on Patreon, right? With a bit more momentum we'll hit our goal of being able to hire someone to handle the submissions, which will let me focus on actually improving the site (wouldn't it be cool if I could respond to suggestions with a timeline instead of saying thanks, but wow so many emails to deal with?)

Thanks to our generous early Patreons (seriously, thank you!) we've hit a minor milestone already - I didn't put it as a goal, but our hosting fees are covered now! It's a small thing but those small things can add up to a lot. Thank you!

As we get closer to the end of the year, I hope you'll have time to think of a few small things you're happy about, and may they add up to a larger difference in your life too. Thanks for your continued support and for pursuing a plant-based way of life in all things, including your drinks!
