My hands still hurt! It's only the surface of my fingertips. Didn't really practice. Couldn't focus.

Working on practice chart similar to 30 Days to Done, but including more polishing work, as I need more of that.

Also started a survey to see how my practicing affects the quality of my playing.

30 DtD Tambourin. Worked hard on pg 1&2, couldn't keep going with trills because blister! LH is much better on 2nd page.

30 DtD Prelude 4. Pretty easy.

Now on staggered schedule with 30 DtD which I think might work better.

2nd octave D was broken this afternoon! Thank you, humidity.

Yesterday took a day off as scheduled, even though I had already had days off.  I just couldn't work on what I wanted to due to finger blister soreness.

30 DtD Tambourin. On track. Still need to work on LH.

★★ 30 DtD Prelude 4. I had a wonderful 'aha' moment during Prelude 4 in regards to how to muffle one of the giant chords. Worth it for that alone!

Day off for blister repair worked.

Detail work on Chaconne in prep for recording tomorrow, I hope.

Tried to work more on trills in Arabesque 2. Elbow hurting.

Blister better at beginning of practice, but then had to stop after 1.5 hours.

Worked on muscle strength for Chaconne and 2nd Arabsque with both of those and (Flight) and (Inquietude).
