Productivity
Jul. 16th, 2014 09:56 pmSudden burst of energy began last night. After dinner I bought gas for the mower, and then emptied, hosed out, scrubbed, dried and refilled both cat boxes.
Today's practice was really good. I'm feeling reasonably ready for Sunday and for my auditions tomorrow and Friday; but even better, the Bach D Minor is beginning to feel really good. I need to spend a couple of hours smoothing out the rough spots, but most of it flows really well. I'm taking it slower than most recordings, not because I can't play it that fast, but because it feels right to me slower; I can hear shapes and flows that I've never heard in the "wow, look how fast I can play!" recordings.
I also went to Trader Joe's this morning-- I'm becoming a serious fan. This evening, after cooking dinner and cleaning up, I packed two boxes of books, and loaded them and a small bookcase into my car. I figure every small load I move now will make the actual moving day a bit easier.
