After the Holiday

A very busy week.

T.S. had Monday off, which was nice for him. I worked.

We both had Tuesday July 4th off, and it sounded like a war zone around here - minus heavy artillery. Nemo the dog was so spooked he wouldn't even go outside. We had to take him out, and stay with him the entire time, and even then it was a nervous giant dog. I don't like them, but I think next year we will be getting some doggie drugs.

I did all the usuals. Exercised, ate well, drank water, blah blah blah. Actually, it's starting to pay off - and I am very happy about that.


Didn't practice as much as I would have liked, I am having a difficult time with this lesson - it's a little more difficult fingering, and I have been tired at night and not as productive. I've even gotten up earlier so I have time to practice in the morning, and been defeated by circumstance. I keep plugging along, and even if I can't play it well this lesson, I will play it.


I have been thinking a lot about perception, because of something that happened at work. I got a complaint that I was rude, and nasty, and unpleasant. Basically. We are in such a vulnerable position at that desk, people hear everything we say, and we forget they listen. Not sure if it really WAS me being rude - but it was a good reminder to watch it. Sometimes people think we are talking about them, and we are not.
