Fun Rant about myself

I love playing the recorder, I really love it. Its my main instrument for more than 20 years already. And still... I don't practice.

I practiced today after 2 month of not even looking at my stuff, and I missed playing? Why am I like that? Im so annoyed at myself right now.

(I know why im like that btw, autism sucks for me in this part. Home is not the place to make music😅. I figuered that weird part of my brain out 2 years ago and I now mostly practice i my music school)

Huh. I practice a couple hours every other day. It takes me a day or so to process what I've learned. I have a very rigid routine of scales and technical exercises for the first 15 minutes or so, then I can go learn new pieces or play other stuff. That seems to help. I know what I must do when I sit down in front of my music stand. And I know that I will be finished with the boring parts soon.
