I am about to leave to go Downtown and it hits me again- I love teaching this particular class of children who come from difficult and neglected backgrounds, they get so much from the music, and give so much joy to me...but I just down't want to hit the road.
It's a beautiful day, I want to potter round the garden, go buy a dress, plant some bougainvillia....
I need some down-time, some structured downtime.
Maybe ex was right to pressure me to stay home for the summer...
Though I did tell people about the job I want too; so I may well find myself workign full-time as an employee before too long.
Feels liek two conflicting things going on; maybe it'll work out so I have just enough down-time to enjoy before working hard again?
Either way I am going to enjoy Thursday and Friday and the next few Sundays with no church choir commitment....and for the first time in my life I realise the sky won't fall in if I do what I want with no obligation to anyone else!

GOOD for you for no choir calendar right now, Write!
Enjoy this sweet season. Saying No is wonderful.
Maybe the right FT job will be structure in a good way, when it comes?
Those kids are lucky to sing with you.

had a great time with the kids but I will be glad to be free of the comittment and expense for a while.
I feel the same hops- the right job will come at the right time.
I ordered some business cards, I can also increase my workload if I need to now I wion't be doign so much low paid or voluntary or church stuff.
Saying No is wonderful.
I've never really done it before...it's becomign quite a habit now!
How is your business going?

I'm scurrying around in gathering stage (materials, info--have files set up) and am attending my first Small Business Seminar Saturday. No idea what I'm getting into but it feels right! I've also emailed a SCORE (SBA's corps of retired execs) questions, no answer yet.
If anyone here has had success with a shoestring startup, please PM me. Can't write much just now but I'd be grateful to touch base.
I think it will cost me a couple grand to start. I'm moderately in the red, personally, so it will be adding debt, which is scary. But I have a persistent belief that I will be quite good at this and it'll bring happiness, and I'm going ahead. Slowly.
thanks for asking,
love
