One day at a time!

So I am not exaggerating when I say I have $2.07 in my bank account haha!!! Damn rent time...
But I'm surprisingly having one of the happiest weeks I've had in a long time. And I only have to wait til this saturday before I have mullacka again. So it's good that I'm enjoying myself. I had a lesson with a little girl I teach, she must be about 9 or 10 or something like that, but she's more organized than me. I want her to run my life actually, but she'd probably take one look at it and run the fuck away. Even her 10 year old judgement is probably better than mind haha! But we were learning a new song, and she played it through hands seperately and then I asked if she wanted to give it a shot hands together. She kinda looked at it and was like uhh, no I don't think I'm ready, it's too hard. So I told her we were gonna break it up into smaller chunks and just play hands together for two bars, then we'd stop, look at the next two bars, then play all the way through til there and so on. We just broke it up and did little bits until we'd gotten half way through the song. Turns out it wasn't as big and scary as she thought. I'm like see? That wasn't so bad! We can play anything no matter how hard it is if we just break it down into managable little chunks! And I think "oh em gee... did I just say something profound? Even just a little profound? Shut up no way" And that's the way I've been living my life this week, just tiny little chunks at a time.
And it's worked so far. None of my bills are going to get paid any faster if I'm freaking the fuck out about them... I know when the money's coming in and I'll pay them then. I can't until then anyway...
I also recieved donations on my indiegogo campaign, which boosted me up alittle too. Not much, but people are poor like me, and STILL believe enough in my work to give what little they could to help move this thing forward. It really gave me the warm tinglies.
You know what else gives me the warm tinglies? Collaborating. And for some reason, opportunities have started showing up in my inboxes to do things, make music, create stuff with other talented people, and I really really enjoy that too. I think music is a community thing... back in the tribe days we'd all be playing together as one, and I like to do things that way today too.
So I've stopped stressing and suddenly things are coming my way. Oooh... oh so spiritual or something. All my praying to the porcelin God must be paying off... or I just have a drinking problem.
