Joanne Returning and Other News!
Today I'm driving to Ottawa to pick up my lovely wife who has been in Saskatchewan for 10 days. She's been caring for her parents, and especially helping her dad recover from his knee surgery a week ago.
It's hard when Joanne leaves for a time to visit family, but it's important that she does. I feel a bit aimless, just going about my day in a kind of monotony when she's away. With her home, life is so much more full and entertaining. She finds interesting things to watch on television, and she pushes me to get out of my studio to get active. We go for a bike ride together, or a meandering walk, or to do some work in the yard.
I've been playing around with the idea of leaving tonight to head toward Ottawa instead of tomorrow morning. I thought I'd maybe camp somewhere along the way. She's not as much of a fan of camping, but it's something I quite like, so why not? If only I could get the girls to come along!
On music news, I've had a vocalist cancel for an upcoming song (meant to be released in only 3 weeks!) This has been quite stressful, as it's already hard to find singers, never-mind one for only three weeks away! I also need to put time into redoing the artwork.
Fortunately, I've found a woman named Becka Mahar who has agreed. She has a very pretty voice, and I think it will suit the song well. We're cutting the timeline close, as I won't receive any tracks from her until next week! Ugh, God help me. :)
Also, in one week Jon McLurg and I will be releasing an amazingly fun and upbeat song. We've got to figure out a location for the music video before then. That's something to keep in prayer. I wish I could just make music and not make videos, but then nobody seems to listen to the song, so it's a necessary evil, I guess.
Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Thank you for your support if you're a patron, and if you're not, then maybe you would consider helping! I also really appreciate your prayers to cover all of the attacks I've been under lately.
Thank you, and God bless!
