Exactly! I plan on maintaining my fitness until something physically prevents me from doing so. I hope that day never comes and I make sure to do my maintenance work, flexibility, mobility, stretching, ice, heat, etc.
My fitness pursuits have done so much for me and my life - physical, mental, emotional. I donā€™t know where Iā€™d be without it!

Learning new grips really is frustratingā€¦ Sober, and annoyed that itā€™s not that simulair to the clarinet as I thoughtā€¦ But I will prevail :sweat_smile::joy: though my weird neighbour from 1next 3up keeps bitching about sound even when itā€™s like 12 oā€™clockā€¦ " Ehhh you woke me up and I have to work from homeā€¦ " If you ( read I ) are a reasonable person you wonā€™t play like two times 20 mins a day " or fear my karma "

What to do with her issues ?
I work at home and sleeping in doesnā€™t make sense and should I as a musician not be able to master a new instrument??
I know within the law I have nothing to fear but how far do I go along with her distant nagging and complaintsā€¦ While no others do, ā€¦

It makes me uncertain about myself ā€¦ if I act the right way next to staying true to myself and the point that I should not longer bent with the change of her moodā€¦

Want to do good but will not forsake myselfā€¦

Any ideas

I think when itā€™s a reasonable hour I donā€™t tolerate peopleā€™s bullshit, if you were playing at 2 am that is different (which I do sometimes cause Iā€™m a badass and when I want to listen to my music itā€™s always loud :rofl:) I would recommend talking to her that you are a musician and that you do this as a main hobby and you cannot get better if you never practice. Maybe find a private place somewhere in a park you can get out and practice this is the luxury of having a more portable instrument.

I didā€¦ But her twin sister first lived thereā€¦ Some history as well. She said she had misophonia and always complaind and her dog attacked meā€¦ Bad move , couse Nala finished the boomer after thatā€¦ I immediately cashed 400$ to support but she didnā€™t even come to talkā€¦ She sended neighbours which said I had the viscous dog and that if I WAS CORRECT THAT I HAD TO PAYā€¦
At that moment I could not give a dime anymore, eventhough it allready was laying on my cabinetā€¦ I would stand aside the truth then and abandon my Nala with paying after such an way of being judged while nobody saw I even saved the boomer dog while neighbour ten awayā€¦

Now her twin from Norway lives upā€¦ or it might even be her in a shift personality change or somewhatā€¦ Couse I know Iā€™m reasonably but like you my friendā€¦ I got them jbl soundsysteme on a pioneer amplifierā€¦

And itā€™s all about the base, ghehe, and I know sometimes itā€™s loud but only within the laws decibel shitā€¦ I have a decibel measure instrument at home for her naggingā€¦

But now I sended a mail to the coorperation that rents out appartements just to explain and be the first one to uncover the sit repā€¦ So I canā€™t be again the one to be unfairly treatedā€¦

It felt a bit Hitler, but I have to do what is good for my future and her twin called 5_0 like 30 times which ended in one formal complaintā€¦

Hmmmmmm ā€¦ Imma gonna play that sax for just 15:minuits now to just make myself clear

Yeah I know , but during daytime ā€¦ And she likeā€¦ Uuuuuuhhhhh wanna sleep till over 12?
Iā€™m not a jerk , I helped her out this week with so much and now she goes after her twin sister bitching at reasonable hoursā€¦ I gave in so much allreadyā€¦ Am I not right to flip the bird and keep playing my instruments? Just within reason? Do I really have to answer to her for being myself when I allready take so much effort not being a bother?

Edit: and couse the sax is newā€¦ silencing the sound wonā€™t make me able to hear if the octave is right

My project is like
