Somehow, my foot surgery behind me, I still haven’t felt like sitting at the piano. Dad’s death really shook me up, more than I imagined it would, and I’ve not felt like doing anything I have to really work at. Funny isn’t it. Sitting at this computer till 4 in the morning is fine. I think it’s because playing the piano requires me putting my feelings into my fingers, and for the moment, putting my feelings anywhere is risky business. Still, I can’t hold back forever. Dad wouldn’t have wanted that, and besides, it’s time. I went out for dinner with friends tonight to a restaurant for the first time, and although it was really tricky, and the tears just wanted to come, I’m really glad I went. So, as I said. Tomorrow’s the day. I’m going to sit down and play. Think starting with Hanon’s finger exercises is really a bonus – I can just lose myself in the technique without being concerned about the tears. I just hope they don’t come anyway and pour down all over the keys! That’d be right! Probably a good idea to get some sleep first, d’ya think???

Helene i love your new blog…i am also self hosted at wordpress although as i am not happy with my web host i may be going back to wordpress.
So sorry to hear of your father's death and glad to hear you went out last night.
Hi Kathleen, thank you. Glad you like it. I'm amazed at the difference in available options for WP.org that aren't available at my WP.com site. Who are you hosted with? I've just moved my domain to Super Green Hosting and I'm thrilled to bits with them. Their customer service is extraordinary, their admin area is clear, simple to navigate, and has everything I could want. To top it all off, it's only costing me US$72 for 2 years hosting, and they renew my domain name forever for free. Whenever I've had a problem, I open a ticket and they ALWAYS respond within 30 minutes. And emailing back and forth to make sure I have everything I need, and always saying "please do contact me for anything". OK so now I'm rambling on. Must be the lack of sleep catching up with me finally. Sorry.
