blessings

9:15AM

    I woke up this morning at my usual time this morning (~7am) as the sun crept in through my blinded windows. As I went through my morning routine of bathroom, coffee, stretching, and breakfast, I hoped again this morning that I'd wake up miraculously with some funds in my bank account. Luckily, today was the day.

    Part of the reason I moved back home was to handle the estate for my late grandmother on my late father's side of the family. Amongst other reasons that I will specifically address I'm sure in a later blog, this was a huge factor in moving home. Not only the estate, but to be closer to my grandmother on my mother's side of the family. I think the death of my grandmother really "kick-started" my mother's ambition to be back home with her mother. Admittedly, it was the change in my life I needed.

    A bit of the money finally touched down in my bank account this AM, and I finally have relief on how this month's car payment will be made, the down payment on my sound rental for next month (I underbid the event by at least $150 smh), and general living expenses down here on the river. It's a strange bittersweet feeling, relief from some bills, yet the means are somber.

    I also have a second interview with a premium shed and tiny home manufacturer in a sales position down here. I've had a couple interviews at places around town down here, yet nothing has panned out. It has definetly affected my psyche a bit, as I have never had this kind of experience applying for any job. I continue to have faith, and know things will eventually be the best fit for me. 

    In the music realm, I'm preparing for a gig July 13th at the Home Tavern in Logan, which should be a great event. I received a call this morning and may have an impromptu set in New Straitsville tomorrow, which would be cool. The set in Logan is open format, and New Straitsville will definitely be country music. 

I also have started learning Serum for FL again, trying to really study wave tables and how they work. I will eventually try to cook a melody a day on the DAW, but for now I'm focusing on the job, and enriching other parts of my life. I still mix about everyday on my decks, but I want to focus more on the production side of my music artistry.

Until next time,
