Yes, I have made progress. The heel is nearly halfway done. Not long now if my joints will cooperate.

Smiling Turtle is coming along. Slowly. But what do you expect from a turtle? It’s fun.

I’ve had so much fun with my piano, learning and relearning Christmas songs. In this book

My fav is

Yes, I got star stickers which means I was a lot older than my all time easy fav

See how easy, and note the immature stickers. Still it’s the one I play best.

I’m just learning many of these. They are harder. Cut time! I wonder if the Doctor understands. Oh, of course, Peter Capaldi does!

I don’t know if you can read my note to me for next year. Chord changes are gorgeous!

A piece of Christmas sheet music that’s fun. Still needs work.

A much harder and cooler version of White Christmas.

I’m going to work on these songs just one more week. Then I’ll do a ‘warts and all’ recording before retiring them to wait at least 250 days.

I’m going to miss these.

My newest diamond painting project. I’m calling it ‘smiling turtle.’

Somebody who has bigger feet than mine only have to wait for the heels and the legs of the socks. Probably not in time for Christmas but if I can keep my hands from hurting long enough. Aspercreme is my friend.

Though energy, hands, and back have stopped much practice on violin, uke, and even recorder, I hope to get it back. That and other yarn projects will have to wait for the healing.

I have enjoyed the heck out of playing Christmas songs some new, some old favorites from my childhood lessons. I realized in 5 days I will have to bundle them up with notes for next year. I plan to get more serious about scales, arpeggios, improvisations, and dare I dare, composing? It’s a lifelong dream. If not now then when?

Duolingo continues to keep my brain working. I usually do it while I ride at least 5 miles or over 30 minutes on my stationary bike. Now on level 2 rather than 1. Yay, that’s some improvement.

Dare I call it a habit that I started morning bed yoga? This morning my whole spine crackled. I’m hoping it was for good and not evil. I haven’t hurt anymore than usual so, maybe it’s good, eh?
