On Hold, Off Hold

May. Day. Its that between Spring and Summer thing, where truly there is reason to celebrate, if you are into the sun at all.

Things have indeed changed here, finally, too long on the waiting list quickly evaporating.

I've found work, which, though I'm not anywhere near working my dream job, is a big huge sack of lead off my shoulders. I'm even doing some work that I really like and want to do a lot more of, working for a photographer and framing prints. The other work is another persona, where I show up, make money and leave.

And the apartment is alive, full flowers are bursting up from the warm soil all around the house. I've taken to planting as many houseplants as I can, attempting to start new ones, and generally fill this place with life.

Kate is painting and she is painting amazing things, her series on hands is so beautiful and profound I stop everytime I see them, and they are in our house everyday.

What else... o, you know, taking pictures, making music. Inspired, but in a slow way. I think that, oddly enough, now that I am working I will have further impetus to push the results of my work in music to further levels, and not discount it as much in my life... working crummy jobs gives me reason to want to put out great music.

My cello is to be fixed soon.

I've been discovering the rivers around here, and finding out that Nevada County (California) is a fantastic place, with amazingly beautiful Mountain and River scenery and feel.

And that's that, I'm exhausted, but wanted to check in.
