Push-ups, Week 3, day 2

I improved, yet missed the minimum in the last set again by 1 (shoulda been 7). I must not let next week intimidate me. I am to do an exhaustion test after this week and base the next week on those results. Talk about upping the ante there. I need to focus on the goal, not the length of time to reach it. I already know I'm *not* doing this in six weeks. It'll probably take more like 12, if I manage to keep it up. But still.

I'z gots sk1llzz

Today, during "concert band" (it's a flute, trumpet, and alto sax), the flute player was absent. I got the flute that's been rented to play it. I've been teaching the kids Sousa's "Washington Post", from a score in all B-flat parts.

Because the trumpet player wanted to play the top part instead of the second, I transposed down a whole step on flute, an instrument I'm not too familiar with, and I've rarely read music of any difficulty on it. Felt kinda nice.
