Good for you!! Basic maintenance is not that hard, and I think it’s very rewarding. I haven’t any of bikes to a shop in years. There’s no question that it’s taken me a long time to get to the point where I can competently do everything including valve adjusts, but if you’re able to change the oil/filters, chain/sprockets, you’re going to be in great shape. Depending on your bike, you can probably do fork oil as well, but USD forks are a bit more challenging.
At any rate, dive on in! The water is great! When you start riding more miles, maybe you’ll even start mounting/balancing your own tires. Nothing will be more frustrating until you figure that out!
