Food, reading, and music (what else do you need)

If you were wondering if there was supposed to be a post last week: yes, there was, and I started it, and then I got really tired and could not bring myself to do anything resembling work or responsibilities.

Last week I started off my unpublished post with this:

How many weeks does it take to recover from a performance? Because I’m on my second week out of Boston and am still in “don’t make me do anything” mode.

And then I realized this week that I’m not so much recovering from a single performance so much as I’m just in dire need of a break from a packed first half-year of overlapping deadlines. This is the first stretch of time this year that I haven’t had a recording session or performance right on the horizon (and said stretch isn’t actually that long—I have another recording session in August that I need to start preparing for).
