Early Oct 2025 Progress Report
Getting back on our feet. Storm's over, but rebuilding's begun.
A lot of things have changed in the past few days.
The terrible situation we’ve been dealing with came and went. It’s finally over. Now we’re finally picking up the pieces, cleaning up my partner’s place, and outfitting a freshly opened room as a studio, using music equipment I inherited from my late ex-stepdad.
The past few days have been crazy, shattering routines and leaving little time for creative pursuits. Despite it all, I’ve been able to do a tiny bit of scene-planning, and some friends have been helping a lot in terms of building resolve and managing, overcoming, and preventing depressive waves. Good progress.
Looking forward to things calming down more, especially since there are a lot of other fires still in need of being addressed. Once things fully clear up, my next focus is going to be tackling my step dad’s cancer medical insurance denials, and then looking into finding ways to make ends meet.
On that note… I haven’t really been vocal about this, but I’ve been out of work the past two years. I’ve been taking an extended amount of time, with the grace of savings I’ve built and help from family, to develop myself, overcome issues with focusing, develop creative chops, and get some personal projects off the ground. I’m grateful for the opportunity I have, and I’ve honestly learned a lot. But now my savings are gone, and I don’t have any income streams left to show for it.
Things have been rough with everything going on, and with my newly realized conditions (ADHD? Some kind of cyclical depression? …dandruff?) and the terrible and uncertain state of the world, it’s been difficult for me to find ways to monetize my craft and make any kind of living anymore.
We have little other than plans and dreams right now. Just gotta make them come true.
