The most overwhelming thing is this horn concerto I'm writing. It has to be done by mid-August, which is pretty much now, and I've only got one movement completed! And composing is a such a time-consuming thing, something I have to do when I have no distractions present. So I can't do it during the daytime when my kids and wife are around. I don't know how I'm going to get it done in the next week...short of pulling a few all-nighters.
On top of that, I have to figure out my Fall schedule for teaching...now! I have to plan the Harbor Brass and Penn Cove Brass schedules so parents can plan around it. It's proving to be so complicated with all this sports schedules happening.
And then I need to make sure I'm practicing my horn...which hasn't really been happening.
And we're expecting a baby any day now! How's that going to affect my timeline? Not positively, that's for sure.
Ugh! Yes, I know, I know...I'm ranting, venting, complaining...whatever you want to call it. And I know that things will turn out alright somehow...but it's looking grim right now.
Send me good vibes. Reply with encouragement or tips. Or...just point and laugh. Any of that is good. I could use a laugh.
Regardless, take care and value music.
