Something really awesome happened you guys. I got a piano!
I’m over the moon excited about it.
I’m guessing it’s from the sixties. It’s a little scuffed up
but some TLC has helped enormously. It’s still got some sound problems and
sticky keys. We’re going to be learning piano repair to help it out! Jonathon
is not excited to figure out how to tune a piano. Luckily he’s awesome enough
to do it anyway.
I forgot how wonderful it is to have a piano in the house. I
grew with one. My mom is a lovely player and she used to help me go to sleep by
playing lullabies. Unlike learning anything else piano relaxed me when I
practice. I use it to reorient, to give myself a few moments to let the world
go. The day we got it Jonathon had to run out and grab something and when he
got back he said exactly what I was thinking. With the piano our apartment
feels more like a home.
