I'm relieved. That's the only way to describe what I feel. I've made the best of a very bad situation, and placed myself in a position that is not half bad. That is one less thing to worry about. Hopefully, now, I will have an easier time falling asleep. The Kalium Phos. continues, but the good thing is that now it is actually working.
Music, as always, is going a long way in making my days better. I'm getting better at the guitar ... picked up what I call the ‘sliding’ move a few days back. I've come to the point at which I can play any melody as long as I know the tune well. I hope to start my official lessons next month. My piano lessons continue to be great fun. I've mastered “Canon” — although I was adept at playing the right hand music, earlier, I could only play the entire composition slower than its normal time. Now, I’ve got the right speed and it sounds lovely, just the way it should.
Of late, I’ve also gone back to pencil sketches. I sketched two portraits in the last two days. I had felt like brushing up my shading. Perhaps, I’ll scan them and put them up here. Personally, I think the first looks constipated, although my mother said that the face looked troubled and perplexed. My guess is that constipation can do that to a person. However, I simply cannot draw smiling people! In any case, I’ve achieved my purpose, which was to check whether I can still draw. I can, but there is definitely room for improvement.
I’m going to go and get Minutes To Midnight as soon as I can. Today, I will start reading “The Three Faces of Eve” — another book about multiple personality disorder. I quite liked “Sybil” and am very glad that my own mother is not like Hattie Dorsett. Sybil’s story is another one which has stuck a chord inside me. People have difficult lives, but they learn to live with all that … they learn to be happy in spite of everything. It’s the kind of message which I needed to hear, anyway.
At present, I am listening to random songs on iTunes, and I think that I’ll concentrate on doing that for a while. So, once again, I say, “That’s all folks!”
