Physically and mentally exhausted, yes.

But piano can only rejuvenate me emotionally.

I agree physically and mentally it has kicked my butt on several occassions. Most days in fact, but emotionally no.

Yes, physically, mental, and emotionally.  I think emotions are the most draining sometimes.  Sometimes I have played and the physical and mind part are ok, but I just don't have the emotion for it -- at all or at the specific time.  Then it's like trying to squeeze water out of a rock.

Sometimes emeotionally, but viola is much more effective for draining me physically. Mental exhaustion is mever a problem for me.
It all happens on Discworld, where greed and ignorance influence human behavior... and perfectly ordinary people occasionally act like raving idiots.

A world, in short, totally unlike our own.
