La Bene Vita

Monday

Guess I'm about due for a blog post. Despite the fact that I've left the house exactly three times since Thursday , I have news.

Resign from Abbott by 3/1/10.
In progress and on schedule. I'm toying with staying until 3/31/10. I know, I know. I keep changing it. But I have no choice but to leave by 4/30/10, because I'll be out of vacation by then, thanks to my weekly Wednesday bd's gig. And it looks like I may be picking up students on (Thursday? Tuesday? another day - NOT Wednesday), so I'll have to burn through more vacation to keep up with that. And I need to ramp up my students, because...

The owner of 88 Keys and I failed to reach agreement on the new contract this year. So, it looks like I'm resigning.

Brand the biz(es.)
Now that I'm leaving 88 Keys, I need to start focusing on MochaNotes. I have this idea for a summer day camp... how many months do I have to plan that? Hmm...

Business: Music Instruction Books.
Nope... if my stupid brain would have functioned properly during the last week, I had plenty of time. So, we start fresh with a new week. Yay for Mondays and fresh starts! It's like New Year's Day every week! (You all think of Monday that way too, yes?)

Launch one new Praise Band song per month.
Pending: "I Will Rise" on 1/24.

Post at WordPress at least once per week.
Pending. I'll probably blog about 88 Keys, once we iron out when my last day will actually be.

Achieve a weight of 145.0 by 3/31/10.
Weight: 154.something
Meals:
8:00am Three leftover chicken McNuggets w/honey mustard (6?)
12:00pm McDouble (10? maybe more)
1:00pm Ice cream (5)
4:30pm Baked Lays (3) and wasabi almonds (3)
5:00pm Ice pop (1) ...strange cravings.

Oh, I'm a GREAT patient. Comfort food, all day, now that I can finally handle food.

Write new lyrics once per week.
In progress. I started lyrics based on a Cramp prompt. I didn't enter, because my brain was befuddled in a fevered frenzy, but I liked the prompt. So I may finish the lyrics this week.

one new original song per month.
Pending.

Launch one new Potbelly song per week.
Pending, and FAIL for last week. But I played a grand total of one day last week, so at least I didn't bore the staff with the same old repertoire.
