Backbreaking 'Til The Last Minute

Cosmic, everything about that sounds damned awesome. Shannen is hoping to learn to play violin at some point, it would be delightful to play together.

Hmmm. You aren't going to be happy not doing your own work. You won't be good for your partner under those circumstances. In my humble opinion. So, maybe you can take this as an opportunity to scout out the welders, glass craftsmen, sculptors, and similar folks in Minneapolis and hope they can guide you toward working in their spaces, or adjacent. Sometimes what looks like an impossible adaptation turns out to provide social contacts and expands your horizons and creative input. This won't be easy. It won''t even look possible or productive for some months. But the scouting around trying to make it happen might turn up fellow artists, a mentor or two, a gallery owner or two, and so on. This looks like a bushel of lemons, with a lemonade stand in your future. The relationship may or may not work in close proximity, but if you are busy and productive, it will have a much better chance. Once you get your bearings, maybe you can relocate your equipment and workshop. Best wishes, and be gentle with yourself and your woman.
