    We had to dip into savings again because we are going 6 weeks without a pay check and shit keeps coming up. Like, I get that that is why you have savings and all but it's sill bullshit and no way of knowing if we are gonna put more in any time in the foreseeable future.

    My care took a shit again after fixing it a few weeks ago. They guy warned last time that all the engine coils needed replaced but the one was completely fucked and we decided to just replace that one and ride it out. I was hoping to get a few months more but shit happens. $900 last time(tune up included) and $600 this time for the rest.

    Which was funny because it happened literally right after signing the oldest up for scouts since he seemed interested. I went completely outside my element and signed up to to help out. I never had the opportunity as a kid so no clue what all I am in for. Added bonus is that me and the kiddo can spend some bonding time together away from video games and stuff.

    Other than that, personally, what started as a component library for my web stuff is turning into a restaurant theme demo instead. I sort of got side-tracked lol. I started working on a prototype of the custom menu component yesterday and now that's gonna end up adding like 3 more days of work. I was gonna add some extra gimmicky stuff like being able to click on the "brunch" feature on the home page and it takes you to the brunch menu but it's not working right with how I have it set up.

    My partner had to switch schools due to her current school not having enough students. Thankfully she is locked in with a contract, so they had to place her. If she lost her job for whatever reason, we'd basically end up homeless unless her family helped out, which I am sure they would.

    Other than that, still jobless. Shameless promotion but while I am still trying to find a job, I am still actively working on getting this web dev thing off the ground. If anyone needs a website or knows anyone that needs one, I know a guy.
