I’m supposed to be practising my pieces for my piano lesson later, but I’m in no mood to even sit at the piano.
It’s hot and humid out, with hardly any wind. Whenever I just sit there, I can already feel the beads of sweat forming on my back, squeezing out of my pores. And that’s BEFORE I start to practise. Practising takes effort though, so I’ll probably sweat bucketfuls just after half an hour.
That wouldn’t be so bad if it was quiet and serene, but the construction site next door is just driving me crazy. They’ve been drilling for DAYS. Past work hours(because there was this period of time when they did nothing for months, so I suppose they have to make up for it now). It is so noisy and the drill-drill-drilling is getting on my nerves. Its so loud that I can hardly hear the notes I’m playing properly, and I can’t practise without silence. Noise is just too distracting for me.
The only solution would be to shut the door and close all windows. But that would mean that I’d have to put up with even MORE heat, and the sound of drilling would still be present then, just softer. Both heat and noise are really pissing me off.
And know what’s worse? I’m just recovering from the flu. My nose is still dripping like a broken faucet, the dripping further sped up by me tilting my head down whenever I play the piano to check my notes and my throat is constantly irritated by the presence of whatever small amount of phlegm is left.
I wish the piano was more portable, like the flute or violin or guitar. Then I could move it into the bedroom where it is so much cooler to practise.
Please don’t tell me that the twinge I just felt is the beginning of a headache.
