Both of My Students Didn’t Show

It’s Thursday, right?  I don’t know why, but both of my music students haven’t shown up today.  They are usually  very punctual and don’t miss lessons.  I’m kind of freaked out that they both have not shown up, today.  I knew that Elizabeth might not show, but I thought Elena was coming today.  It’s made sort of a quiet day for me.  I’m just listening to James Taylor and having a nice day.  I was kind of excited to have them come because I got brave and fixed my piano by myself.  There was a key that was sticking really bad.  I was going to hire a piano technician to come and fix it this week, but my sale fell through and I didn’t have the money I was counting on to pay for it.  I have never been one to sit and wait for things to happen.  I couldn’t wait.  I had to take the piano apart and remove the key.  I sanded the edge that was sticking against the other key.  Then, I sanded the other key, too.  I don’t know if that was the right or wrong thing to do, but it solved the problem and the piano works.  While I was in there, I tried to tune a note that was fuzzy and was almost successful.  It still doesn’t sound just right, but it’s better.  I’m sure glad I’m not a piano tuner, because I’d starve.  I’m terrible at it.  But I’m still proud of my attempt and small success.
