Lately, I've had to classify many days as "bad". Yesterday, was a pleasant surprise.
I don't know why, but I actually slept most of the night, rather than only a small portion of it. So, I was actually able to get up at around 8:30, which is VERY early for me.
The first thing that happened after that was the new tablet which wasn't supposed to be here until the earliest the 11th, arrived on the 10th. While I was setting it up, everything was going great, then I saw I had a voicemail.
I checked it, and my hearing aid which had been out for warranty repairs came in. I've been without it for over a month now, so when it arrived, I was thrilled! I went to pick it up, and when I put it in, I could suddenly hear again! Not to mention, having it in helps my brain to filter out the tinnitus that I always have to deal with. Yes, it's still there, but it seems much quieter when I have my hearing aid.
I suspect that it has to do with the fact that I have a hard time hearing tones in the midrange (human vocal range), so when they're amplified, my brain is able to compensate easier, and the high pitches where my tinnitus is located can be turned down. My theory, for what it's worth.
All was going well, until my cat decided to knock my piano onto the keyboard while my hands were there.
Oh well. Such is life, I guess.

Jinxing yourself, I see.
I really hope that your cat knocked something smaller than a piano. Even were your cat a tiger, knocking down a piano would seem a bit non-trivial.

Actually, my spell checker must have decided the word "light" wasn't necessary in my sentence. I wish it would stop that. It's like Fred Flinstone's camera bird deciding something doesn't belong in the picture.

Your Spell-Checker
You might adjust the settings of your spell-checker (or grammar or style-checker) so that it asks before "correcting". There's a website called damnyouautocorrect.com .

Daughter: How did you know?!
Mother: Sorry, I meant "perfect".
Mother: Wait, what?

Piano?
I don't perceive a "light" piano as being all that much better...
It's not all that heavy. :-D

Hearing
When my father started losing his hearing the frequency range first affected was that of the voice of -
my mother.
Assuming your hands are fine now the overall balance of the day (if not of the piano light) was excellent :)

Murphy predates, and was known to the ancient (c. 12th Dynasty) Egyptians: This one collapsed ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meidum#Pyramid.
The only thing saving us, is that Murphy's Law is universal, and so it applies to itself. So when Murphy's Law clobbers itself ---
Things go right!

Thanks very much for your thoughts on tinnitus. Mine is not (yet) bad enough to seek remedy. A simple mid-range 'booster' might help me, and easily be done with wireless headphones or ear-buds - Thanks! :)
