It's a strange feeling, this doing of household tasks and enjoying them. Something to do with not feeling I'm being watched, and judged for what I do or don't do, or how I do or don't do it, methinks.
Then, for the first time in ages and ages, my clarinet has emerged from it's box. Not just for playing in church or seasonal singing at a point in the year I'm not going to mention because I'll have hysterics, or because I've been asked to play something for an occasion, but because I want to play it, and to enjoy playing it again. I would like to return, at some point in the future, to teaching music, and that means I need to be back in practice again. So scales and exercises were heard for about an hour last night and I'm aiming to do that most days for a while. There are also a few pieces that I love which might be tried today. I do have an aim. I want to be able to play the pieces I played for my degree final again, and I also want to learn some new pieces that I never had time to learn before.
I've had a re-jiggle of the boxes in my room, and the ones sitting patiently in the garage awaiting liberation, trying to work out if I need to leave the boxes in the garage for now, or just take absolutely everything and hope it all gets sorted! Mmmm
Now for some hot buttered toast, and coffee.
