I understand, Hardiman. My wife can't stand repetition — which is what practise is all about. One by one, she's going through my play list saying "I don't ever want to hear that song again!" I've taken to either playing when she's not around or just throwing a couple of instruments in my truck, driving to a park somewhere and playing for the squirrels. Which works for the guitars and autoharps, but not so well with the piano. I guess the real saving part is that she works mostly days and I work mostly afternoons. Leaves us both time for our own things.
