I find myself too damn busy, and as such I’m taking a break from writing. I just find myself pressed for time…all the time. Hard to believe a retired old queer has too much to do, but that’s what has happened.
As I wrote in the title it really is a good thing, but somehow in my mind I feel like I’m letting myself down in not making my weekly quota in post. A self prescribed goal that I have to admit it needs to be set aside for awhile.
I still very much want to write this journal, and capture define moments in my life that let me on a path full of thorns.
Back to “A Good Thing”. The reason I find myself swamped is this:
When I went to the piano store I was set on another little digital piano, but once I sat down and played this hybrid baby grand I was hooked. More than I should spend, way more, but when I shook the gentleman’s hand it was the happiest I’d been in a long time. I was elated.
So my focus has changed to one of my other “hobbies”. I’ve considered myself to be a musician my entire life, so I don’t call it a hobby, that’s other folks word for it. A passion is more like it.
Along with the piano came 3 months of free lessons, but instead of piano I choose sound engineering and recording. It’s been a blast having these private lessons, which continue for another month. With an hour there, an hour less and an hour home it takes up a half day. Then there’s always a bunch of homework….yuck and yeah.
So whilst I haven’t abandoned this effort, between the piano, consulting, dogs and doctors I’m swamped. Not to mention the fishing trips, which now take 2 days. One to fish, one to recover. Really with no time to even lay down in the afternoon as I should.
Right now I’m doing what I really want, except this effort in posting.
But I’ll be back. I’ve promised myself.
