I've been wondering whether or not I should continue my saxophone lessons. The fact that I can't relax on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday consumes too much energy from me. Mondays are very hectic because I have to rush home from work so that I can eat, take a bath, and run around the house to grab everything that I need to bring to the big band practice session. After practice, I rush home to eat a little before bed. At best, I get five hours of sleep, but I usually only get around four hours, which is far from enough.

When I show up at work on Tuesdays, I'm exhausted, and the days are usually long because Mondays are short. That means I'm home around 18:00 or 19:00, and that day has passed. I work from home on Wednesdays and often sleep in because I'm tired. I stop working around 15:00, and then I go for a walk. When I get home, I shower and eat something before leaving for my saxophone lessons. On my way home, I stop at the grocery store, which means I'm home around 19:30, and another day has passed. On Thursdays, I try to hold myself together, work, and relax because I don't have the energy for anything else.

On top of all that, it is not cheap to attend my saxophone lessons. One expense is the fee for attending the lessons, but driving back and forth is not cheap either. I'm also tired of the fixed routine of doing the same thing every Wednesday, but that is normal for me. A couple of years ago, I only attended every other band rehearsal, so I wouldn't get tired of doing the same thing all the time.

As a replacement for my saxophone lessons, I've looked for online courses. Or maybe I should have a break. I'm unsure what I want and have the next six months to decide. Only time will tell what I will choose.
