Thanks Cag no I don't think so. Just silly things, like a misunderstanding with a friend, and a need for a letter to get ds's special diet at school, which for complicated reasons, can't be provided. And me working super-hard to sort out my general health, and the ASD test next week. It's just everything all the time.
Also my mission to help self and ds involves a lot of music, which I think is absolutely the right thing, but it's making my brain overheat. Here's the problem:
Ds is playing the French horn and piano, and I'm playing the clarinet, piano and violin.
The Clarinet and horn are transposing instruments so if you put a C in the top of the horn you get an F out of the bottom. Likewise, if you put a C in the top of the clarinet you get a B flat out of the bottom. So when I try to write music for us to play together it gets fearsomely complicated. I'm working on the flump theme tune and the womble theme tune just now.
Also ds is just blazing through his piano book and now needs me to play the teacher accompaniment, which is very very hard because I'm crap at the piano and so I'm learning that on the fly.
The violin is pretty well behaved, and my wrist is not hurting, thank goodness. Everything in all of this would be easier if I just could quickly get myself up to speed for grade 5-ish music theory, and lots of people keep saying why don't I "just do it". OMG.
None of this costs any money, which is glorious, but my brain is getting very hot.
First world problems...
