Looking forward to hearing- and seeing- more about your new place SwissMS!

Please excuse me for April 24-30. I was on a whirlwind trip back to Canada to visit my parents for their 80 birthdays.

Pianist@Heart - I hope things went well for your job interview. I will put you back on the wagon May 10.

casinitaly- I hope you enjoyed your visit back to Canada visiting your parents! I will add April 24-30 to your excused list.

Well, my moving saga is continuing. We have lived in a hotel since April 23. The house we thought we were moving into ended up having some issues we didn't want to deal with, so we passed on it. That turned out to be a good thing, because we found a house that is perfect for us! We purchased it a week ago, but we are renting to the sellers until the 15th of June to allow time for them to move out. So- i have three to four more weeks without a piano!! I have the perfect place for it when it finally does come home though! It should be nestled in its own space by June 18.

Good news for you! Once you are in the new home, make sure you post some pictures of your piano room.

Had to miss 5/22 & 5/23 for out-of-town business travel.

Back at it now!

Hi,

I missed practing May 19- May 23. Most of those missed days I really could have practiced. I need to work on still practicing after working 8 hours. However, I am happily back on the wagon as of May 24. Thank you SwissMS for the well wishes. I am glad things worked out with the move.

I missed May 17-19 when I went camping at a state park. Although I had my keyboard along, the tendinitis I've been struggling with in my elbows is supposed to be rested and this was a good opportunity. Is it all healed? No, not yet but I'm seeing progress. It does not hurt when playing piano unless I play for long periods, so I don't believe that's the underlying cause. Probably lifting since that's the movement where I feel the most pain.

I missed May 30; after work I postponed my practice until I forgot it
Back on the wagon the following day.

Please excuse me for the dates of May 27th through June 1st. I was in Costa Rica

Please excuse me for May 28 through Jun 1. I was on a short work trip, which culminated in my last day at work, as I retired (yay yay yay). Yesterday, I stayed with a friend and went to the beach. Back to home and the piano today.

ClsscLib - I will add May 22-23 to your excused list.

Pianist@Heart- I will put you back on the wagon as of May 24. Keep working at it, and eventually piano practice will begin to be part of your routine.

WiseBuff- I will add May 17-19 to your excused list. I hope your tendonitis heals soon!

torquenale - I will put you back on the wagon May 31st.

bSharp(C)yclist - Costa Rica sounds like fun! I will add May 27 through June 1 to your excused list.

MeganR - Congratulations on your retirement! I will add May 28-June 1 to your excused list.

Please excuse me for 1/2 June and 3/4 June as I was on a short trip to France. I did find a piano to play briefly on 3 June though!

Had to miss Wednesday June 5 for business travel.

Hi everyone!

I'd like to join this lovely challenge.
Motivated to not miss a single day

Just wanted to note that today is my 165 straight day of piano practicing in my streak. Even when I injured my left pinky two months ago, I did 4-finger practice on LH or RH only practice.

I mention this now because my wife is upset I haven't been to our Amsterdam flat in a long while and summer being what it is, if I can't find a suitable travel piano, this streak will come to an end soon

Please excuse me for June 10, when I was out of town.

barbaram - I will add June 1-4 to your excused list.

ClsscLib - I will add June 5 to your list.

Ilay - Welcome to MOYD! I will add you to our late starter's list.

Stubbie - I will add June 10 to your list.

Thanks SwissMs - I'm here to confess that I also missed 9 June, again due to travel.

I missed June 14 because I was out of town.

barbaram - I will add June 9 to your list

torquenale - I will add June 14 to yours.

Continuing my saga - We move in to our new house on June 20, and my piano is scheduled to arrive on June 25. I am so looking forward to it! I haven't touched a piano since April 23!!

Congratulations!
