CW: Venty, Mental Health±
Current condition: desperately need to set up Patreon and maybe one other donation/subscription site to get transportation money and food on the table a week ago :blobfox_shocked:
Me: distracted by: sheet music, recording software, archiving/sorting duet resources (some rehearsal recordings coming soon), voice training, the fedi, a visit from a friend that didn't happen, and the dread of impending doom :growlithe_hmm: :blobhaj_read: :shiba_wink:
At least I took my meds, I guess?

Me, Saturday while playing 3.5 hours over 2 gigs: "Oh f***, my D-string (no, not my G-string) is coming undone at the bridge! I hope it survives! I should change it ASAP!" (｀･ω･´)
Me, Monday at 18:00: "Oh yeah, the set of strings (ouch, my wallet) arrived. I should get the D-string changed so it can get the majority of its stretching done overnight." (・∀・)
Me, Tuesday at 04:00 (an hour ago): Sleep? Nah, now would be a perfect time to change that string and practice getting the double-stops, shifts, and fingerings on Kass' Theme worked out!" (*‘ω‘ *)
Why do I have to feel the most motivated and productive in the wee hours of the morning orz
(I'm also terribly thankful to whoever invented the practice mute for violins because, as supportive as my roommates are, unmuted practice at 04:00 maaaay have been a bit much (≧∀≦)) -
I posted the following while down with covid about a month ago:
---------------------------------
-get sick for a week (still positive (｡ŏ﹏ŏ))
-keep windows slightly open for circulation
- #pdxtst : "alright, folks, the snow's here (・∀・)"
-me: "I'm sorry, theヽ(｀Д´#)ﾉWHAT!?"
---------------------------------
Now, I had a lolita fashion hanami event that I was supposed to play for this coming weekend. Anybody want to guess what mother nature seems to think is *perfect* hanami weather?

Today, I practiced for the first time in...gods, a whole month?
The pandemic basically took half of my memorised repertoire with it since I went from performing 4~7 days a week to, well, basically nothing. I've always had issues getting myself to practice when I don't have a performance to prepare for.
Chief among those taken were the Bach Cello Suites. I have a smattering of movements in my repertoire, but Suite no. 1 (famous for its Prelude) was something I could play cover to cover, every last movement of which I adore...but...I lost 5 out of 6 of those movements to various issues, whether it was a disconnect between the various sections, issues with fingering (specifically shifts), or even bowings at times.
Today was my first attempt at reclaiming them and putting them back into my ready-at-any-time repertoire.

I played my first show since getting covid today at Fleur and...it feels like I've gotten better for some reason? It felt like I had so much more control of phrasing and the other subtleties throughout my repertoire, whether on slower pieces like Ashokan Farewell, bouncy pieces like Tressa, The Merchant, or even my classical repertoire (though I only played the prelude from the Bach Cello Suite no. 1 and Humoresque today).
So...how do I get jumps in skill like this without risking a 10% chance of a long-term debilitating disorder every time? (not to mention half a month of income) (granted, I'd pay half a month's income for this large of a jump any time) (seriously, it was a huge jump and I finally feel like I've surpassed my 18-year-old self)
