- sort of maybe drifting back into being active about blogging a bit more? 

- have determined that indeed I am *extremely* affected by the serotonin-suppressing effects of living at elevation. Thus am planning to move as soon as I can work out the logistics and pick a lower-elevation place to go (currently approximately everywhere below 2000ft is in the running). Meanwhile trying out some supplements that preliminary research looks promising on, for mitigating the altitude effect so I can function better.

- no longer working as a bartender, now I do quality control in a machine shop. It pays much better, but I’m not so keen about the hours.

- am single after a breakup, and thoroughly hate the dating scene where I am, which is further motivation to move

- but in good things, have been playing keys in a local band with some real cool people. We’ve had a few shows, and even gotten paid (not much, but it’s still neat to actually make some money at music for the first time in ever) a few times.

Finished this pistachio wood pendulum today. 
 
A very nice heavy boi! Entirely hand-shaped and finished (well, with a dremel, but still).
