Retreat to the Piano Actually, Don and I have had a few years to practice togetherness. Retirement. Before Covid, we shared the house and did our own thing, very well. But "our own thing" often involved leaving the house. Now, we hardly leave home. If I want to bang away at the piano, I have to "entertain" Don. Now the poor guy has to endure my daily piano therapy. My fingers fumble through sonatas and ancient pop tunes. I've found some old sheet music that brings back a few memories!Even with my lack of skills, it feels wonderful to play the neglected instrument. It sure needs tuning, though. Togetherness with Ukes So 2020, is the year I started playing piano again. It's also the year that the ukuleles came out of hiding. In 2016, Don and I played our ukuleles the day I got home from lumpectomy surgery. We played those crazy things together, over my months of treatment and recovery. Then they got dusty and they were forgotten.
I'm so glad that we have some instruments to help out, during these home days. The piano lets me escape by myself. (Don kindly puts up with the noise) And the ukuleles bring us back together. Gotta find a balance!

Not-So-Happy List
Cancer, Covid & Coronary... I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast CANCER and then I was done. On March 13, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. This time it was the invasion of COVID and it affected every person. I ranted for a year, until I got my COVID vaccine in March 2021. CORONARY Artery Disease was the reason I restarted this blog on September 26, 2021. This time it was my hubby Don, who was dealing with a worry that started with the letter "C". Coronavirus and Cancer, Coronary Artery Disease! All are evil, but none can totally get me down... if I vent! I usually end up feeling a little more positive at the end of each post! Navigating This Mess! The most recent post is at the top, from coronary posts in 2022, back to cancer posts in 2016. To find past posts, look below the "Archives" section, to find "Categories". Archives
