How are you?

[littletune]

It's a normal condition that does occur with ear infection and hopefully the hearing will be restored in time, if not after 3 months, then I'll need to see a doctor  to get treated.  I hope it will clear up and the antibiotic that I'm taking will help out. 

I hope your hearing gets better really soon and u dont need to go to a doctor!

[go12_3]

I hope your hearing gets better really soon and u dont need to go to a doctor!

Thank you littletune for your well wishes   
My left ear is starting to pop at times, and somehow I can hear from it...

Now i have a bit of cold but its nothing bad... And it's snowing a LOT again!!! wow i dont remember ever having THAT much snow!!!! And i have school holidays next week!!!!        i will play my piano all the time!!!!!!! i will wake up and i will play till night well or at least i will play as much as i can!  and this week feels kinda like holidays too! We had holidays on monday anyway because it's a national holiday or cultural holiday (as it says in wikipedia ) Prešeren day it sounds funny this way  . Well so on monday i was playing piano since i woke up (which was VERY late because i had a bellyache at night because i ate too much sweets because my friend came over for a whole day on sunday and we have a whole box of sweets and we eat them when she comes over ) so i was playing piano since 12 to 5 pm. But not completely the whole time because i had to eat something too (although i wasnt really very hungry). Im talking too much Well yesterday i had school, but today i didnt cause i was feeling really tired in the morning and everything hurt and i felt really sick but now its a lot better. I was playing my piano before and now i dont feel sick anymore! I think i have a magic piano!!!!     

[go12_3]

Hey, I'm feeling better each day and today, I'm more happy and content with my life
and where it's going.  I love my music~~~ piano and violin.  I love my 10 piano
students and they are special to me.  I ordered a new piece to learn by Bach ~ Partita in B Flat so I can hardly wait to get it!   I've been working on the same pieces forever, and now I need something new to learn.  I am working on my drawings and that has been enjoyble to do.
I draw portraits and birds mostly.  Life is good now.   

[point of grace]

Hi, i'm a bit tired, maybe because of the wet and hot wheather here in Argentina... besides i did a lot of exercises today and studied Rachmaninoff all afternoon!!! 

[thalbergmad]

Life is good now.   

Nice to hear. It seemed to me you had been through a bad patch.

How come you are sad? 

[littletune]

Well Im a LOT better now. But i got a really bad eye infection! On tuseday and wednesday it was really REALLY  bad!!! It was the worst pain in my whole life!!!!! And i've already had a lot of eye infections and ear infections and everything and headaches and tummyaches and i injured my leg and my both hands (because i jumped from somewhere too high) and my finger was infected near the nail and they had to cut it (not the nail but the infected part on my finger). But this was thee worstest pain EVER! It was like 5 differenent kinds of pain at the same time! like having something sharp in your eye and having a soap and detergent in it and someone punching you on the eye all the time and poking u with something sharp. and first your eye hurts and then your whole face and then your head and u feel sick and your tummy hurts and u feel cold and hot at the same time. It was really horrible! So all i could do was just cry almost all day and night. and then sleep when it got a little better But yesterday it was a lot better already (so i could even go to my piano lesson) but i still couldnt open my right eye at all. and today i can even open it just a bit but its all foggy or blurry. and the eye looks kinda scarry its soooo red!   So well... i think this was a punishment for something i did wrong....    ... well im glad im sooo much better now!

[go12_3]

It's a sunny day and feeling great, been practicing a lot more on my pieces
and looking foward to Spring.   

[Bob]

Tired.  Stressed.  Not looking foward to spring.

[littletune]

Well my eye got worse again during the weekend it hurt so much again! now its getting better  and i have some medication, so i hope it will really be ok now!!! Well at least i don't have to go to school this week    

[littletune]

I'm tired! I had my piano recital today. Well ....i did make three mistakes (one big one and two small ones). But... well ok.... But we weren't even playing on a real piano!!!      not even on a digital piano  , but just on a keyboard with weighted keys!  And it was standing on a keyboard stand and it was moving and shaking when i was playing!!! Because the piece i was playing is very jumpy and fast So it wasn't at all like playing on a piano!  And it didn't sound like it either!!! Well i know that a keyboard can never sound exactly like a real piano anyway, but.... I almost couldn't even hear myself play!!!!!  Because it was on speakers (or how u say that) and on the stage I could only hear this little quiet sound coming from somewhere far!  (It kinda sounded to me a little like when I have strings sound on my keyboard and the sound is kinda soft  and slower and it doesnt start right away when u press the keys!) And this is kinda weird and annoying if the piece is supposed to be fast and happy and loud (most of the time) and with a lot of staccatos. Well..... when i watched the video of me playing it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be but it wasn't very great either
And besides that I look really really weird when I play!  really weird! It's a good thing that the video is very dark!  well I have to go to sleep now im sooo tired

[go12_3]

littletune,
There's nothing like playing on a real piano.  I'm glad your experience in your recital
went well inspite of playing not on a piano, but you seem to have a good attitude
about the recital.  Hopefully, the next recital you will play on a real piano....

Thank you! I really hope we'll be playing on a real piano at the next recital! I don't know why we couldn't play on a real one this time  Well but I'm just happy I have a real piano at home!!!

Yo tambien estoy cansado....

[littletune]

My eye is better now not completely ok but a lot better (i still have to take medications till the end of the week). But... I don't know whats wrong with me but... today just about an hour ago my leg started to hurt!  just for no reason!  I don't know whats wrong! It's a good thing my arm doesn't hurt so i can still play piano

[Bob]

Sick.  I haven't been sick in a long time and this reeeeeealy sucks. 

*Bob disinfects the thread before leaving.*

[point of grace]

i'm sick too... i barely play the piano this week i'm so weak........

[littletune]

Yo tambien estoy cansado....

Tudi jaz sem malo utrujena
And I'm not very healthy lately either But I don't care so much At least I don't have to go to school very much  And as long as I don't feel so bad that I couldn't play piano I'm happy  And today I was practicing first about half an hour and then I had piano lesson and then I was practicing for two hours and I still didn't want to stop but I had to because of the neighbours and I was so tired I couldn't play anything right anymore anyway. I can't wait tomorrow so I can play my piano again!!!

[go12_3]

Doing just fine, enjoying the Spring weather with sunshine and warmer days...
A student quit taking piano lessons a week ago because she wants to do dance
classes instead....oh, well....

[m19834]

I'm not sure how I am doing, actually, and could probably use expert advice -- however, I'm not sure I would know who to listen to regarding the advice I need, unless of course they have the word "expert" next to their user name ... then, I guess I would know !

But, the thing is, today while I was practicing, I had tension   and then, suddenly, my fingers actually just popped off of my hands  , and started rolling around like little sausages all over the ground  .  Then, my doggy, he came by and wanted to start eating them, since they looked like little sausages, but I had to try to stop him from doing so with my voice  -- and since my mind wasn't very relaxed, my voice wasn't very relaxed and IT almost popped off of my throat   -- since I didn't have any fingers to grab him by the scruff and such ... well, I did manage to super glue my fingers (and thumbs) BACK onto my hands, and it looks pretty great, actually, except I accidentally put an *actual* sausage doggy treat in one of the places that I was supposed to have a finger, because I thought it was a finger.  Oh well.  

But, my question is, should I be concerned ?  That's all I want to know.

[littletune]

So today my mum and dad were arguing about money again! And of course then my dad starts saying why did she buy me a piano and why is she paying for music school. because he thinks thats not anything important. He says I should do more for school instead of playing piano. He is like he usually doesn't seem to care at all about what I do and then when he says he cares and he wants to help then he starts saying really bad and horrible things (to me and to my mum) and he makes you feel like you are the worst pesron in the whole world!  And it's like nothing that I do is worth anything... playing piano is not worth anything caring for animals is not worth anything. And I earned some money by taking care of other people's pets and by making some cards and I gave almost all of it to my mum but he says that's like nothing because it's so little money. but i dont know how to make more money if i knew i would but i don't. And i can't help if i hate school this year, i really liked it till last year but now i dont and i can't help if i love playing piano! and i cant help if im weird! i told my mum they should get another kid that would hopefully be normal and wouldn't be so weird! cause i am and i want to be the way i am and i dont want to be like all the normal people cause if i would be then i wouldn't even be me anymore so then it would be better if i just died. so i guess im the worst person in the world! just so you know! well i have to figure out something to be better but until then ill just be the worst person in the world i guess....  i don't want to be but I don't know....  I'll figure out something someday !

I wouldn't worry too much. I am sure your mom and you will find a diplomatic solution.

If this protective bear is still around I guess you don't need to be concerned. Otherwise I would recommend to check which finger is now that sausage finger. If it's the fifth finger of your left hand I wouldn't worry too much. I like strong bass notes

Reminds me a little of the supposedly true story of a polar explorer who took off his gloves to discover that 2 of his fingers were still inside.

Cannot remember who it was, and some explorers have been prone to embellish stories, but i guess it is possible.

Is anyone whining??  I really haven't noticed 
And besides if people sometimes feel like whining they should whine! Whats so wrong with that?? if someone doesn't like that they dont need to listen. Wouldn't it be boring if the sun was shining all the time?? It's really great sometimes when it rains and when its cloudy and dark! And so it would be really boring if we were all just happy all the time! 
(And i really don't like people telling me how I should feel and how I shouldn't feel! I mean even if i don't know anything else (cause im just a stupid kid) I am sure I know how I feel better than anyone else in the whole world!!! )

Littletune is now lightning up.... oh nooo she lightened up too much!!  She is now so bright that noone can even look at her. It's like looking at the sun!!! you can get eye damage  And people are now like: - Oh nooo littletune is coming quickly cover your eyes with your hands!!! (Its not enough to just close your eyes!).....
and then after a while they're like: - OMG nooooooo!ohhhh noooo littletune is now starting to play piano!!!! quickly cover your ears too before you get hearing damage!! - But I can't cover my eyes AND my ears at the same time!!!!!! I'd need four arms for that! OHH NOO! what should I do???!! - Oh stop whining at least when you get eye or hearing damage you wont be able to see   littletune or hear her littletunes anymore! be happy! don't be such a wimpy whiner!!!
   - super eye protection glasses - (for protection against littletune) and we also have super earplugs as well (for protection against littletune's littletunes) special offer two for the price of one! buy now!!!!

Snails... jumping over sausages.  (Bob is too lazy to draw out sausages tonight so these sausages are only seen from the side.)

I'm fine, thank you. 

[littletune]

Well I'm kind of sad... because one of our fish died again! Not one of the fish that I have in my room but one of the fish that we have in the living room. A goldfish. Except they are not gold they are all sorts of colours. And we got them just a little before new year and three of them died almost right away.    And so then there were only two that are black and have big eyes and they are really cool!! And I was really happy that those two were ok! and i thought they would be ok, because they seemed fine and it didn't look like there was anything wrong with them... and today when I turned on the light one was just dead    .... so now there's only one left .... well there is also a cleaning fish but that one doesn't like to hang out with other fish very much so I hope that the goldfish won't be lonely and sad!

[Bob]

Those cleaning fish are gross.

I'm tired.  Again.  Doing the same things.  Again.  It's getting old, but at least it's spring.

[littletune]

I don't think cleaning fish are gross, at least not the ones we have! I even think they're cute and very interessting maybe I should post a picture.....
well we are taking care of that doggy again.... so I have to go for a lot of walks now so im kinda tired and yesterday I've met the doggy that I'll be taking to doggy school he is really cute and cool, he is quite a large dog and he is strong too! at first I thought I won't even be able to hold him but then after a one hour walk I kinda got used to walking with such a large dog it's cool! just have to be careful all the time. and talk to him

Same. I'm starting to regret having this routine.
Perhaps I should play some piano.
Or guitar.
*sighs*

[littletune]

I am sooooooooo tired Im taking that doggy to doggy school now. and today we were there for two hours and he was pulling me around all the time! And my hands hurt! but he is a really great and cool and cute doggy!! And when he felt like listening to me he was really good too! So he is doing very well I think

[pianowolfi]

I'm shitty but I don't f****** care about it.

[littletune]

well... i'm sad.... my mum and dad were arguing about money again and my dad doesn't want me to play piano and he also thinks I'm stupid....
and it's my mum's birthday tomorrow... that's going to be a fun birthday!
and I also had a bad dream...
well but yeah who cares! I just wish I knew what to do!!
