Incredibly frustrating harp day

These are the 3 out of 6 bolts for my harp. They are all different sizes. ::sigh::









And the remaining holes for the missing bolts don't line up with the base, which you can't really see from these pictures, and therefore getting bolts probably wouldn't be any help anyway.















Now my F pedal is randomly sticking, my rt hand hurts again, though not as bad as yesterday, and I can't remember the stupid Zarabanda. And I have only two pieces marked as ok in the other two Chinese books, so I have only about 7 pieces total. Yay.

Daniel Burton's Chinese Folk Songs. Maybe a few others?

No problem with amount of classical. Elbow hurt after .5 hour and especially after faster pieces, but calmed down with slow stuff, so can switch for bcb. However, joints in rt hand hurt tremendously. What does that mean!

Maybe... Don't forget your PT exercises?

Ok, after not having played the past 2 days, how is it I have a blister on my thumb?

Played for 1 hour, classical, no elbow problems, but felt there could have been, looks promising for bcb.

Need to work up FF, Chinese, and classical.

Keep memorizing Zarabanda, one more day!

Interesting wardrobe choice for today's practice, hee.

Harp practicing preempted by Sonic Youth at the Roseland last night, which was NOT air-conditioned, despite what the website says. They lie! They lie like a pack of lying... things that... lie for a living! >:|

And harp practicing was preempted this morning by the necessity of buying a decent fan.

Mental functions decreasing rapidly due to heat and lack of practicing.

Too hot by far again. Worked on more memorization. It's amazing how fast my brain un-memorizes things. There is a weird problem spot 2nd line on 3rd page.

Aha! moment: the chords before the 4ths are the same as for the 4ths. Go figure!

Slight schedule change: asked to play 1st weekend in Oct, will need to work on appropriate music for one week to judge condition of elbow. Will call back Monday.

Heard back from L&H, need to take photo of bolts and measure. Will move harp when not so hot. Jeezy creezy.

Too hot, didn't practice, sung to the tune of "People Mover".

Kidding aside, I got about 10 min work on problem memorization spots before my arms refused to do any more.

Now to go lounge on my un-air-conditioned couch with a watermelon mint popsicle.
