Ahhhh finally feeling good enough to work again. Just in time, too. I leave for LA either tomorrow evening or early Friday morning. I'd be pissed if I was sick while down there.
Oddly enough, the last few days have been exactly what I needed. I break. For too long I have been running my ass off, trying to finish up my old place so we could ge the new renters in there, moving, all the while playing and teaching. It had been a hectic 3 months before the 1st of October, and even after that I still didn't have much spare time.
So, I told myself I would take a few days to myself, maybe drive somewhere, or just do absolutely nothing. I had been looking forward to that for quite some time. Arrange 3 or 4 days off in a row, and do something just for me, by myself. Shit, I would have been satisfied with pretty much anything, as long as I had no time frame and no one to answer to for some length of time greater than 12 hours.
But, I get sick. Those 3 days of freedom turned into 3 days of absolute shitty boredom. No drives, no vacation, no hiking and biking, none of the shit that I usually do to clear my head. Just sitting in my room watching TV, cruising the 'ole inter-web, and feeling like ass.
And, now that I'm better, I realize that I have already canceled 9 private lessons, a rehearsal I teach, and a rehearsal I play in. Shit. That kinda takes vacation out of the immediate future.
Oh well. Maybe I will take my idea of driving down to Long Beach a day early, before the kids get there, and have some fun by myself. That sounds like a plan.
Long Beach, Santa Monica, LA, and wherever else I end up. Word.
