Thursday

Well, I decided that I would write a post. The main reason is that I’m planning to leave on Sunday afternoon, and I figured that if I would post today and tomorrow and Saturday everyone who sees my blog would say to themselves “Jacob is starting to post again. Good for him.” And since I won’t be able to post for along time since I’ll be in the East for a long time without Internet access. This is Thursday and I only worked for Nisly Bros. once this week for a variety of reasons. While being off work can be fun at times, it never happens when I’m off work. Being ‘off work’ always results in far more work anyway. And like I heard Ruben Ristrom once say, “When mom ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.” This I’ve found is an ever present factor.
Like some of you may know, I’ll be going to the East for at least a week an a half or two weeks starting on Sunday. I have mixed feelings about this trip. The good part about the trip will be sitting back and relaxing at my grandma’s place (IF that actually happens). And the bad part… ….Well one bad part is that I’ll be missing two piano lessons in a row, but there are other things such as the two days before the wedding which will undoubtedly be mainly people yelling at each other in an all around high-stress atmosphere. Hrmmm… enough about that stupid subject.
About the only other thing that I can think of talking about right now is my piano lessons. I’m starting to enjoy my lessons more and more, and though frustrating at times, I am quite fond of playing my keyboard. I am having some struggles with my keyboard playing, the first problem which is obviously making my fingers do what they are supposed to. The music that I’m trying to play I can sight read easily, but making my fingers do what my brain wishes they would do is more difficult. Another problem I’m having is trying to play on Maria’s piano which like all pianos has weighted keys, when I’m used to playing on my keyboard which doesn’t have weighted keys. Hopefully I’ll eventually get used to it though.
Well this has been at typical rambling post, and I’m not going to take the time to go over it and scan for errors so please excuse them. I know they are there. …like always.
Your faithful blogger,    IRONY! (David should enjoy that)
