These are beautiful. I'd love a black and purple one. Maybe if I end up commuting I can knit on the train or something.

I was going to go to the gym this morning but failed to get out of bed and get my bum in gear early enough. This is mostly due to messing about instead of eating breakfast. When will I learn that if I have breakfast FIRST, my day starts sooner? Ah well. I will have to content myself with poi and horn practise.

I am going in to work today but not planning to speak to my boss about the job situation until tomorrow afternoon.

I dyed my hair poppy red last night. It is more of a poppy pink. I did not bleach first so it is not too too dramatic, and it is semi-permanent so I can just wash my hair a LOT in the next little while and it should fade to 'reasonable' by the time I have any job interviews. In the meantime, I do like this colour very much.

I made some phonecalls about jobs yesterday, too. I don't much like making telephone calls. I guess that rules out telesales.

It has been suggested that in addition to trying to find a permanent job, I should sign up with a temping agency. I find that idea quite repellant, as if it is some sort of implication that I would not find a 'real' job soon enough. I guess it is good advice though.

I may have to quit choir. I skipped it again last night because I was just too exhausted by the time I got in to turn around and go out again. I teach for two hours and 15 minutes, and walk for about one hour and fifteen minuets, directly before choir (the teaching and walking are intermingled). I can't really reschedule the students - even if they had time on other days, I don't have much left now. I just do not have the energy to stand and sing for two and a half or three hours after that much teaching. But....I really like choir!

I hate being a grown-up and having limited resources and trying to choose which things I want to do. Graaah. I want to be invincible and do everything. I am sure it would be much more fun.

I was going to make a long post about the rainbow I saw last night but I did not get around to it and now I am not in the mood. Maybe next time.

[livejournal.com profile] leunnammi, you and I need to go through the garage and figure out what is getting chucked and what is getting kept.

I am really looking forward to Bath this weekend. I know everything here will still be waiting for me when I get back, but it will be nice to have 3 or 4 days where all I have to do is sleep, cook, busk, and dance. Especially the dancing. I need to dance more often, I keep not doing Slimelight on account of being skint. This is silly.

Next week one of my uni students starts piano lessons again, exams being over and all. Thank goodness! Also next week I start teaching Ivrit to someone. This should be interesting as I don't speak it myself, but I will learn. The extra teaching time will further help finances. I don't know what I will charge for teaching the Hebrew - the student insists on paying me. I don't want to take advantage of her good nature, or commit myself to doing something I am not capable of. How much is it normal to charge for private language lessons?
