I'm away from the horses for a bit and house pets have to satisfy for a while. It works, but the mix of the bigger and the smaller critters will feel good when I am recovered from the fall I took and able to shovel horse poop again.
In the meantime I have had a chance to think about where I want to go with my violin playing, and I well may opt for a change of direction. The woman who has been holding down my seat in front of the second violins in one of my orchestras has again started to get odd about the conductor. Thus far it feels very similar to what happened the last time I was out of action for a bit and she filled the seat. The conductor is easily influenced by someone with a certain type of manipulative behavior, and as a result I felt like chopped liver for a while when I returned to the seat. There was little to no communication and he was downright rude several times in the first couple of performance cycles.
I am resolved that I don't want to go through that again, and I've been thinking of doing some different things in my playing than before. I well may let her have that seat, move to the back, and not get into the fray. This time of being unable to play is helpful in my coming to a decision about that.
