#5 finished. Work on problem spots from now on.

Dussek: eighth = 132 in rt hand.

Start polishing FF.
1 page left of #5.

Learning line by line may not work (if only have 15 minutes). Seem to need to learn phrases. Maybe spend 15 minutes learning phrase in one hand?

Stretch break necessary and helped.

1 line learned because:
1. New day at work, home later
2. Tuning entire harp takes 10 minutes.

However, I realized while practicing, if I only have 15 minutes, it's better to learn one line than either:
1. Not play at all, or
2. Not focus on practicing

I actually used 15 minutes constructively. Go me.

The Governor Hotel is GORgeous.

3 lines of #5. Watch the 1st finger in left hand on crossovers.

Hands stiff from alien attack, and back stiff from attempt to give self tramp stamp on drawer handle in bathroom while cleaning.

Need to check into harp rental.

Need to check dates.

A scale in each hand, w00t!

However, after an evening of shooting aliens at Ground Kontrol, that may be all I can manage for a while.
Today will most likely be a rest day. We'll see how it goes. Last joint in 4th finger is tired of plucking bass wires. I'm going to relax and see other people play their instruments.

I realized I'm not learning Notturno because I'm working on other stuff, der. Maybe get back on track after Oct.

Stretch breaks!
