I Hope You Know What You're Doing...

This sort of comment comes up occasionally like it did the other day. Yes, I hope I know what I'm doing, too. Or rather, no, I don't actually know what I'm doing. This is entirely uncharted territory for me, but I hope and believe I'm smart enough to figure it out quickly enough that I won't wind up broke and filthy and wandering alone in the woods with my three-legged dog whose fourth leg I amputated and used for rations over the course of four weeks.
Some things you'll do for money
And some you'll do for fun,
But the things you'll do for love
Are gonna come back to you one by one.

My favorite sister Megan and I were discussing this a little bit the other day:
Megan: I think the family is starting to question if something is wrong with you.
Kirsten: What do you mean?
M: Well, dad is convinced you have a mining claim and are going to become a miner. Otherwise, there's no reason for you to be in Montana.
K: Uh, okay. What about mom?
M: She doesn't get that specific. I want you to know my status in the family is really improving with this moving plan of yours.
K: Why? You don't even have a mining claim!
M: That you know of...

A little jittery, eh?
No one promised you a rose garden, but you seem really wound up. Have some faith in....yourself. Unlike a lot of us you won't spend your first winter in a tent. Hopefully.

Of course you're right! Why would I need to stay in a tent when I could just sleep in my mine? I can't believe I didn't already think of that. I feel better already.
Considering mines tend to be wet and often provide homes for snakes, I suspect you should rethink that option.
