Hello @mapmaker401! This is @traciyork from the @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) curation team. We noticed you shared your first post here on Hive and introduced yourself to the community - congratulations and welcome!
And, LOL! I hear you on the, "my life is crazy hectic so why not jump into another crazy hectic fray and see how that goes" kind of thing - I've done it myself too many times to count. But one of the things I love so much about the folks here is how they are so willing to shout out & help guide n00bs like me newbies like I used to be, which is why Hive is one of my favorite online communities.
Speaking of community, we have many different ones here on the blockchain, devoted to all kinds of interests. Here's a link so you can check them all out - Hive Communities
While I see you already have a delegation from @leo.voter, but since you're new, you may run into an RC (Resource Credits) error when trying to comment/post because you don't yet have enough Hive in your account. For assistance with a temporary delegation if that happens, be sure to check out the Gift Giver site.
If you have questions, feel free to hop into the OCD Discord server and we'll do our best to answer them, and again welcome to Hive!
