Where did that week go?

Amongst the reasons why I have not posted this week.......

1) I have gone to bed never earlier than 2am and mostly after 4am for the last 6 nights in succession (and not sleeping very well when I am in bed), and I am thus DEAD.

2) I have been in the studio all day every day so far this week...... and I now have to go out and teach a business English class for 2 hours.

3) Monday was Cinco de Mayo - the second biggest piss-up of the year, after St Pat's.

4) I am entering into discussions (thus far only by e-mail, but promising) with an American education company about what might, just possibly, develop into a 'proper job' for me at last.

5) In pursuance of 4) above, I have had to try to address some long-standing functionality problems I've been suffering with my Skype and landline telephone connections.

6) My favourite ex-student just got married (to a Polish-American guy I introduced her to), so I had to go out to a celebratory dinner with them last night.

7) I've been having to sort out my visa renewal this week. Luckily, I have a good agent. I think everything's going to be OK. Fingers crossed.

8) I've been out gigging 3 times already this week.

9) And now I desperately need to try and get my hair cut........

Yes, bucketloads of stress this week. And very little sleep. My feet just haven't touched the ground.

Hence, no blogging. Sorry.
