Break From My Keys

Hello Internet World

Today I was very tired. Tomorrow I'm sure I will be tired again. Somehow an entire week has passed since my last piano lesson and I've managed to let that week pass without practicing. So today I wanted to try and make up for that week before tomorrow's lesson.
So far...I'm tired.
I don't mind though. I just want to go back to my lesson tomorrow having improved, and I'm willing to sacrifice some rest for that. But right now I'm taking a break from the keys.

You know what's amusing to me? When, as a goodbye you tell someone to have a good such and such and they respond by saying, "You too," even though it doesn't apply. Example:
ME: Hey, how's it going?
FRIEND: Alright, on my way to visit my brother. You?
ME: I'm good. I'm on my way to work.
FRIEND: Blah blah blah. Random small talk.
ME: Blah blah blah. Showing interest in what you have to say for five minutes.
FRIEND: Okay, well I've gotta get going. Good seeing you.
ME: Yeah. it was good seeing you. Have a good time visiting your brother.
FRIEND: Yeah, you too.

But I'm not going to visit my brother; I'm going to work. So it isn't likely that I will too. This happens nearly almost every day. Either I accidentally say, "You too," and catch myself in the middle of saying it, but can't change it before it's too late, or someone else says it and walks away. It's like we're stuck in these auto-pilot conversation lines and even if what we automatically are going to say doesn't fit into the conversation, we can't help saying it anyway.

I have taken to getting up at 5:30 a.m. and writing before getting ready for work. In a way it's therapeutic. But I need to make sure I get enough rest.
I have a lot on my mind and I would like to write all of it out. But I should get back to my keys.

I love you. Good night.
