A lot is changing very quickly in my life - and there is more to come. A close friend of mine decided to help me out with my financial situation. I now have zero credit card debt and will be able to refinance my car by June. I feel like I finally have a moment to breathe and recenter.

This year I plan to:

- Fix my sleep apnea (today I finally got a mandibular advancement device)
- Finish moving in with Tex
- Get Starlight Telepath or Tendril Talk evaluated for vinyl release, and if possible get them produced & sold at a con dealer's den
- Finish 6 more songs for my sister and release "Songs Of The Earth We Still Have"
- Get back-up drives and another M.2 drive for all my data
- Continue learning UE5 and making my VR synesthesia simulator with Aktaion
- Start working enough to pay off my car and pay back an old friend
- Go camping in the fall
- Help Tex clean up the house and garden and make this place nice

Everything hinges on the first item. Here's hoping the device works. But all that aside, my life has become much more peaceful from just moving in with Tex. I feel at home, here. The fog is disappearing.

Thank you for sticking with me thus far. I hope you'll be here for whatever happens next. The future is bright.
