Mostly, I take daily baby steps toward all my long-term goals. Much like the stories I pen, the songs I compose, and the businesses I run, I am always a work in progress.

Goal met. I wrote nine articles yesterday. *Bigsmile* Of course, seven were very similar, and the remaining two were similar, so it's not as impressive as it sounds. But... still.

Resign from Abbott by 12/1/09.
In progress. Some upcoming additional money makers: (1) I took a vacation day tonight to sub for another music teacher at the studio. As a bonus, I get the night off from Abbott, and I'm going out to karaoke after teaching! *Delight* (2) Potbelly asked me to perform at an event, where Potbelly will have a booth set up. It's coming up later in June; more information when I get it. It'll be a Saturday evening. A public gig outside the wall of my restaurant! It feels like a step up.
