I'd like to have a chat with whoever wrote the cord changing instructions for the Sax Holder.

Yay! My clarinet will be here this month! I checked in with my site rep and got the best news ever and now I’ll be bouncing off the walls all day. 🎢🎡

Entering month six of "patiently" waiting for my new bass clarinet. I have what will hopefully be my last two performances on the "wonderful" horn I've been using for the past year this week. I swear this instrument is set to like A470 or something.

In what is a completely new experience for me, I'm performing a bass clarinet solo with a local bell choir. I stayed for their full rehearsal last night and it was so cool following along the scores and seeing the specialized notation. I love music ❀️

In related news, altissimo A sounds like crap if you haven't been practicing enough. Apologies to my neighbors.

In today's episode of "I didn't think this would be so difficult" we feature finishing clarinet reeds while eyes are dilated from the eye doctor.

Spring time on our new property means new plants and nature stuff to observe ❀️ today we found some woodpecker holes on a dead tree, a hellebores plant popping up, and some happy lichen on a lilac. Now it’s time to decide what tree to replace this dead one. I’m thinking a peach dogwood 🌸

Aw how is willow liking the snow? She’s had storms before this right? Y’all have gotten a lot more snow in recent years than when I lived out that way

Why Late Diagnoses Hit Different Ever wondered why life always felt harder than it should? Discover the wild ride of late neurodivergent diagnosisβ€”grief, relief, and finally, self-acceptance.

Some reasons late autism diagnoses happen: β€œIf you were socialized as a girl, chances are your neurodivergence was ignored because you weren’t disruptive enough. If you’re BIPOC, your symptoms were likely dismissed or misdiagnosed.”

Cool cool. My bass clarinet that I ordered as a Christmas present that was going to be here the beginning of February is now expected sometime in May. I guess this is what I get for choosing a brand new and high demand model. It will be worth it in the end but the wait is making me bonkers.

Okay universe. I’ll forgive you for attempting to kill me this past week if you could maybe deliver my bass clarinet by the end of this week. Thanks.

ugh I hate scented trash bags so much. We had these awful floral ones when I was younger and it was nauseating
