Life Changes to the Future
A couple of life changes:
I will be moving in with my best friend Derek flybirdfly, and I am SO excited for that! I'm not sure what I'm going to do about my 1918 Steinway Grand Piano. I'd like to bring it with me, but I might have to move it into my parents' house.
I'm actually excited to be leaving Stockton, finally. My time here needs to end. I have TOO much baggage in Stockton. It'll be really hard to leave my current house @ 5101 Strawberry Way. It's been my home since October 27, 2012. I LOVE it here, but it's just too far from the New Mozart School of Music (90 miles from Stockton to Palo Alto) which will truly be what I want to do as much of as I can in the future.
My Stockton church jobs will be ending soon, if that makes any sense. I believe someone will be taking over as Music Director at the Cathedral in a salaried position starting January 2016, so I won't need to work there anymore. And, I also still have a position at Holy Cross Church in Linden, CA, but that's Saturdays at 5 PM, and if I want to work at New Mozart School Saturdays 9 AM - 4 PM, I wouldn't be able to do that mass. We'll see how that pans out, but it may be time to end there.
Then there's the concern of my Stockton students: (4 - Jorge, Sarah, Debbie, & Ruth). I would like to travel to them on Saturdays or Sundays and teach them, or any day that's convenient for most of them and teach them all in one block. Three of them have been with me for several years and it would be sad to see them go.
Lastly, I really want to start driving for the company UBER. I feel like it'd be a really enjoyable use of my time when I just want to drive and earn some extra money. I have to finish the paperwork, but maybe I can start doing that next month!
Feeling decent about things. I'm currently playing "AVENUE Q" the Musical @ Berkeley Playhouse, and that's been a blast! Can't wait to do more shows in the future. Now, off to bed!

- I will officially be moving to the Bay Area within the month of October 2015. Currently, that place is Concord, CA.
- I am hoping to increase my work load at the New Mozart School of Music to 3-4 days a week, teaching upwards of 40 students a week when I hit full capacity for up to 4 days.
- My Stockton days are numbered, and this includes employment in Stockton.
- Possibly seeking out a bigger church position, ideally Music Director of any denomination, though I am content at my current church in the Bay Area.
- I'll still be doing shows, and have two more after "Avenue Q" in Berkeley, but I want to focus on teaching more starting in 2016.
- I am hoping to start driving for UBER some time in the near future.
