Small Things

Isn't it amazing how small things can seem so huge? Like for instance, I have a cold sore on my lip right now, and it's right where my mouthpiece hits, so I can't practice at all. When I tried the other day, my lip was throbbing after just a few scales. Oi. So, I haven't practiced since Tuesday. Only the music majors could truly understand the significance of this, but let's just say I'm about 6 hours behind in my practice time right now. Luckily Dr. Brown is very understanding, but still. It's frustrating.
