Insert Black Keys reference here

The Black Keys reference I intend in the title is their 2019 single Lo/Hi: You get high like a bird in the sky… you get low, low ’cause you’re angry… low, high, high, low…

Friday evening was a really, really enjoyable evening. I played a sketching game with some friends, and then played OpenTTD with my sweetie. I have missed that game so much! It was a true joy to play with him and I can’t wait to play more. Though I hope it doesn’t completely replace Minecraft, because I enjoy that a lot as well.

I caught up with a friend that I haven’t heard from in many years. It was so nice to talk to him again, and nerd out about music and guitars. It was like no time had passed at all! I also caught up with a newer friend, and it was nice to be able to talk with her, too.

This morning, I realised I couldn’t open any of the gig work stuff. And I checked and… they have closed the project I was working on.

They had promised “two months” warning if they were going to close the project. There was zero warning. Now I have no idea how I’m going to actually climb out of the hole I’m in, and that is quite a downer. I was also relying on that extra income to be able to fund my trips to Europe and my eventual move to London…

There are a few other projects I may qualify for, but they don’t pay nearly as much per hour, so I’ll need to work even harder if I want to make it. Honestly, I’m devastated, but I have a really good support system. I’ll make it through, and I’ll find a way to keep my plans in-tact. I know I will. It’s in my blood as a Dalmatian…
