Clean a room a day for 19 days
the bedroom

Today was the bedroom. I washed and changed the sheets, and washed two of the blankets. I vacuumed and dusted the worst areas. This room isn’t entirely clean, but probably I will get it entirely clean the next time it comes up in this rotation.

Since we are going on vacation May 20th, and I am pretty much done with my classes and with the Stockton Symphony for the season, I can manage this in the short term.

In the long term, i.e. during the school year we will probably have to look into getting a service.



take harp lessons
first one today in . . . how many years?

It was eye opening also. Things I maybe should take to heart

First page of LariviƩre
Exercising thumb keeping lower joint engaged
Watch that it doesn’t collapse while playing (this is the LH)
Reduce excess movement in the left hand to compensate weakness in thumb
Listen more
Close more
Try to support arms from trunk and relax forearm
Practice without thumbs and add them later to reduce thumb tension

That’s enough for now. I’m having another Sunday. I may try to have five more this spring.

I can’t believe I’m even writing this. Thank you Pilates!
