When I wasn't eating, going to the bathroom, teaching one student, crying with my neighbor or taking a nap I was playing piano and learning Paul Simon's American Tune all day long. Good day.

Day 12

noreply@blogger.com (Patches) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 04:04:00 +0000

Tired brain and body. It's a fantastic fatigue, not a ferocious fatigue. Haydn from 8-10pm today. Detail work on the spots I let myself play poorly for years. Fixed that. Tonight will not cure my affliction, but I'm certain clean playing will be in my future!

Day 10 and 11

noreply@blogger.com (Patches) — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 03:45:00 +0000

Okay, so here's what happened yesterday. I was going fine and dandy on my work and my friend called 45 min. into my practice and needed a ride home from the airport. Was gonna come home and work some more, but we needed to cry together for just a little bit. I count this as good practice. All a part of it.

And today. I did it. Really did it. My Haydn is better. All three movements. The first movement I will honor the theory tomorrow. I feel very proud of myself and I'm sleeping like a champion. Fantastic Fatigue.
