Well the flute lessons were a great idea. The problem is between taking care of the cats and the house, running a business, practicing for band and sleeping and eating I really don't have the time to practice the way I would need to in order to work the way she wanted me to. I pretty much decided yesterday it just isn't going to work. I talked to her today. She volunteered to go to every other week (which she refused to do last week), but I told her we should just stop so she can fill the time slot with someone who can be there.
The other thing is, it was already becoming work and I was already feeling guilty because I didn't have time to practice as I needed to. I want to play for fun. I decided I'd rather be one of the old timers in the lower half of the section playing for fun and having a good time, than having it become work.
