Tipsy training

Day 18
Because it's Friday night and I had a 6 hour rehearsal day, I am not ashamed to admit that I pre-gamed this evening's practice session with a little gin.  It's quite rare for me to drink and practice (or drink and blog...) but I must say, I actually think one drink is a good thing for me after a difficult day.  My chops feel less tired than they ostensibly should and I had a kind of relaxed curiosity while playing through parts of the Ligeti that made me more accurate than I have been all week.  I just get out of my head a little bit, I care a little less about that one part that I "always mess up", and gosh darn it, I surprised myself this evening.
Not recommended for all ages, evenings, or circumstances, but tonight I say...good adult decision, me. :)
