Long Time No See

I just rediscovered this blog after AGES. Since I'm in a transition period, which may take another couple of years to complete, I think I'll start dumping here again. Piano lessons went out the window, though somehow I have to find a way to afford to get back to it. I just moved (3 days ago) to make it possible to teach voice. Where I was, the parking was impossible. Where I am now, the parking's metered, but really cheap and plentiful. I'm awash in boxes. It could easily take months to get it all where I want -- or even where it looks reasonable. And work has ramped up, so I won't be leaving on time for awhile, so that lets out evenings to work on my surroundings. That leaves weekends. Unless I get some ginseng happening or something. Once that's done, it's time to start seriously looking for students. I have to start that ASAP, because it will take a long time to build up a studio, and I need the money. The first two students will make up the difference between my old rent and my new, higher, rent. After that, all the teaching proceeds go to paying off credit cards. I want them GONE. With a full studio, they could be paid off in months, but it could take years to build up a full studio, so it's chip, chip, chip away. Anyway. First things first. I have to find where to shop near me, and get the place in order. Can't find my laundry detergent. Should be in some kitchen box, but I can't for the life of me find it. So I have to buy some, even though I already have tons -- somewhere. Also need scissors. I have half-a-dozen pairs of scissors -- somewhere. Found one pair, lost them again. So I gotta get my focus down small right now.
