Okay, briefly money was nice.

Crap. I just found out I'm going to be ≈$1,000 poorer than I thought, distributed from now through mid/late April.

That's money for equipment emergencies, wiggle room, and a few scattered nice moments that I won't have. 

And some February website fees, that have to be paid, that are now dangling.
It's a good thing this didn't fall on me a month ago.  I'm not in an emotional valley.
