A Breather

Remember my resolution to update more often?
oops.


Life has been crazy busy in the last 4 weeks. I finally finished my show(s). And I think for the first time since giving up my sunday schedule on March 18th, I finally had a weekend off. I had a few things to do here and there, but I didn't have to work and I didn't have to play. It was lovely.

Work is going well right now. I love my clients. I love how the school program is developing. I have had some encouraging discussions with the administration about the future of my contract and program. I'm also feeling the need to branch out and approach more schools. I think summer might be a good time start working on that - in time for the new school year.
Summer is shaping up - I have a trip planned to see my best friend Julie in NYC, subbing in a couple of performances for another show and of course garlic festival. But I am looking forward to getting my work schedule back to a slightly more relaxed pace.... so I can take on other projects, of course.  :)


My latest adventure: I can now say that I have been rock climbing. A friend from the theater invited me to go with him one Monday morning/afternoon. It was a lot harder than I had expected. We went to the Santa Cruz mountains and we get to this 80ft flat drop that we had to repel down. B basically hooked up my harness and tossed me over the edge. It was a lot of fun. This picture was about halfway down the first repel.






Then we hiked up some other rocks and things to this little climb. Its 60-65ft. and I did it! I felt really proud of myself for trying something new and exciting.




Anyhow, things are trucking along.
I am off to my music therapy association's midyear meeting this coming weekend. I am excited to see my colleagues although, I know we will be meeting for a collective 20 hours... at least. It should be interesting.
