PHEWWWW...
BIG sigh of relief.
After weeks of major stress-out (http://www.guitarworkstation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9129), I was 24 hours away from leaving my town and hitting the road with no place to go. When suddenly, quite coincidentally, a lead for a place to stay I'd looked into weeks before panned out and came together in one afternoon. Talk about a last-minute save.
Sooo...while I'm still jobless and spending my own money to stay in very expensive temporary housing, at least I have a coupla months to \"decompress\" from the insanely stressful year I just had, and I have a coupla months to make some major decisions, instead of having a couple of weeks with a deadline hanging over my head.
I plan to sort of take it easy/er this summer, maybe a little part-time work here n there (if I can find it - this town is as bad as everywhere else!) to keep the cash flow going. A little traveling, to visit old friends - I've been working nearly non-stop for 8 years and haven't done a lot of that.
And hopefully find a way to unpack my musical gear and do some playing/recording. I'd bet that the ups n downs and array of experiences I've had lately would be fertile ground for songwriting.
So...it would seem that I've survived, at least for the moment, to live another day. We'll see how it goes at the end of the summer, when I'll essentially be faced with the same situation I was just in, only without the pressure.
And aren't you all feeling lucky to have me around and checking in here, beseeching you to set me up with Anne Hathaway or Shania? :twisted:

I'm happy for ya. Use the time well..never know, but you may be on the path to something finer than you can imagine. Best to ya....
I'd really like to use this summer to have some fun - take a couple trips and experience what it feels like to live with less pressure.
And, ideally, it'll give me some time to reflect and gather myself and maybe start off in a new direction. Who knows what's out there...I might decide what I want to do and chase it, or I might just decide to go forth and see what happens.
Then again...who knows if a great new job will show up and give me a new start that way.
Either way, it'd sure be nice to spend some time in Shania's hot tub...that'd be a stressbuster fer sher... :twisted:
Well...good thing you won't have to live in that juniper bush across the street from my stalking spot in the oleanders, out front of Anne's mansion.
The insects have been brutal this year.
I think Anne's been away for the last few months. But then my eyes and ears are so swollen, I can't tell if shes home or not.
Gotta go, they'll be letting the dogs out soon.
And who says there is no God? Most excellent to hear you have time to slow your heart rate down and form a battle plan
Praise God and Blessings to everyone that interceded on your behalf.
Still have that excellent K9? .....Yes!??
Yes, I still have my adorable pup. Thank gawd, 'cuz he's about the only really positive thing in my life right now.
(he's gotten bigger than this, but my camera's in storage. Along with the rest of my stuff, including guitars :shock: )
