I can&#8217;t overstate how much I appreciate all the love and listening to me being a sad sack my friends put up with. My crew really are the best. I dunno how I carry on in the days when I&#8217;m not leaning on them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here we are, in a new year. Time to get back at it.

But right when everything was way down, it showed up out of nowhere. All tooled up. I just gotta figure out power, get it leveled, and <a href=\"http:\/\/swarf.io\">swarf.io<\/a> (my machine shop business idea) is back! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, my mom&#8217;s tumor is totally gone now.
