And your fingers too, for that matter. When I glanced at the clock before I started practicing, it was just after 7. And now, when I finished practicing, it is 8:25. Wow! No wonder my shoulders hurt!

It was the oddest thing today…when my shoulder started hurting was when I wanted to practice more! I ended up running through almost all the material I had here—twice. I’ve never had that happen before, when, after I’d practiced everything I wanted to keep going and practice more. Which is why I ran through the stuff a second time. And even then I felt like I wanted to keep practicing! But I’d already run through everything but Follies twice, and I didn’t really feel like playing through them all a third time. In other words, I kind of wanted to practice music that I did not have.

But not seeing how I could possibly achieve that, I decided that that was enough practicing for the night.

I never thought that playing the violin would make a difference in how fast I type. Usually, I think, it doesn’t. But since I was just playing violin, moving my fingers fast for the reel and the other fast songs I know, my left hand is still going fast!
