No rest for the energetic

I really should blog more often. But then again, I do work seven days a week.

Five days a week, I work here. It's been six weeks, and I love the new job. It was definitely the right move to jump from my old job. Not that the old job was bad. But it also didn't have a whole lot of future upside, and I needed benefits.

Two days a week, I play church music. I play at my regular church every Saturday and am a free agent on Sundays. I've played every Sunday somewhere since the second week of January or so. I used to take most Sundays off, but a church lost its organist and I'm filling in there from time to time.

But wait! There's more! It's also Lent, so I'm doing extra practices for Holy Week and Easter services a couple evenings a week.

But wait again! There's even more! See, my commute isn't a short one. I drive from home to the train station, then take a 55-minute train to the city, then take another 15-minute bus to work. I'm away from home on a normal day from 6:45 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Yet I don't mind. And I love my work. And I'm more energetic than I have been in a long time.

Turns out if you love what you do, it makes a tough schedule that much more bearable.
