State of the Onion

My life seems to consist of monotanies, some fun, some less so, which roll along at a regular pace against the background of huge impending changes.  My weeks are set with Monday night small group, Tuesday night date night, Wednesday night walks through the Greenway, occasional Saturday night small groups, and Sunday laundry.  That leaves Thursday, Friday and some Saturdays to pick up my bass, which some of you will be glad to hear I'm doing, and working on certain old Rush, Yes and Kansas tunes again.  After I feel I've mastered them appropriately I'll probably pick up some Flea bass lines since I enjoyed his funk style when one of  my last bass students requested to learn a couple of RHCP songs. 

Anyway, this goes on week in and week out as I wait for things to fall into place so that my move to Australia will be smooth.  The thing is Abba told me it wasn't going to happen overnight.  Its going to take months.  Plus there is the possibility of something no one wants to happen will move me away from here for a few months.  I hope the reason for the move is innocuous, though it hasn't been revealed to me with any specificity.

So the house has to sell (my inlaws want to buy my half, but are moving at a pace that is slower than I'd like, but which is probably prudent for them), then the move to Jax for whatever reason, then the move to Oz.  The waiting is grating on my nerves.  I have strong feelings about each part of the trek.

So I have this excruciation in the background while I go to small group, take a little one out for shopping, food and the Fun Station, or walk the Greenway, do my laundry or wonder why my finger is finding so hard to find that fret in this progression.

Also, so many people want me to remarry.  I'm not sure what the different motives are, but every time I consider it the notion is not pleasant.  I've barely begun to enjoy my freedom.  The main reason I wanted to marry was to have someone to grow old with and share memories made when so few have that in their 80's and 90's.  I believe I now have that with Abba, and that it will suffice for me for the rest of my life.  Besides, I like how my heart is changing toward those of the fairer sex, though there's much more changing that needs to happen in that area.

I have a great adventure set before me, if I live long enough to enjoy it.  And with great enthusiasm I'm looking forward to living it out.
