Exhausted....


Oh man - I haven't felt like this for ages - I woke up that morning and didn't realize where I was - what day it is - what's going on and I had to sort out my thoughts for more than 3 minutes. I felt soooo exhausted (and still feel after 2 cups of coffee and 4 hours later) - couldn't even move to stop the alarm clock..... What happened? No idea.
We had a nice weekend - friday we had friends around and I went to bed at around midnight - not that late. Saturday a friend of Achim came to watch the soccer game with Achim  - and as we (Bayern Munich) won the game with 4 : 0 we were in a very sportive mood and did some fun games with the Nintendo WII which I got for my birthday. Went to bed at around 01:00 in the morning - again not too late.
Sunday we went to the golf course and did a 18 hole tournament (3 men and me) - weather was very windy and sometimes it was rainy but not too much. We need more than 5 hours and went home at half past eight in the evening - had a 45 mins drive and then a short and quick dinner - went to bed at 11 pm and this morning I was like "knocked out"......  I am sitting in front of my computer and finished one photobook and  I am tired and my eyes are still "half open" -
Have to go and play piano as my piano teacher will be here in the afternoon and she exactly knows if I had played and done my "homework"..... Right now we are on some classic music and I am working hard on me to play it like it should be played. But I love this piano lessons I take now for 1,5 years again. I had piano lessons for 6 years when I was a teen but then stopped and never had lessons. When I bought my own piano 5 years ago I thought I would teach myself a little and will find back to where I finished years ago. But honestly I couldn't bring myself to work the way I thought. Sometimes I sat on the piano and played along and when it came to some difficult parts I stopped and played what I played all the time- nothing new - always the old things. So when heard that my neighbours son got piano lessons I thought: now or never - I asked the teacher and she told me to wait a month then another pupil will give up as she moves to Spain.
Since Oktober 2008 I am doing piano lessons now and slowly but constantly I can feel myself "coming back" - sometimes I think my fingers are a little rust in - but a famous piano player once said:

If I don't play the piano for one day - I feel and hear it
If I don't play for three days - my wife recognized it
If I don't play for a week - my audience regocnized it

Off for my weekly's "team up thursday" photoshoot - Marcelle just sent hers to me and I am really impressed - funny thing is as we have a weekly theme I thought about that and when I saw Marcelles photo I had a laugh because it is/was exactly what I wanted to do - but I had another idea in my head so I will take that photo now - as se sun is coming out (even it is for a few minutes) - later again off to play the piano for an hour or so.
