<p>I think my d has started to see a light at the end of the tunnel. She finally was able to move into another room tonight. There were no completely empty rooms but when she went to her new room, she realized her new roomie is in one of her classes and she said the girl has always been real nice. Her new roomie said “I have something to tell you. See the space on the floor. Well sometimes it becomes my closet.” My d was like wow, I have the same closet. No more compulsively neat rommie. Six of her friends helped her move tonight so she said it didn’t take long.
Her professor talked to the repairman today. He can repair the headjoint and realign all the keys and replace the bent ones. He will need to replace the “b” foot. He asked for an estimate from Muramatsu for the cost of the “b” foot. He said it looked like the flute was repeatedly banged against something.<br>
One of the piccolos from marching band heard what happened to my d. The piccolo has given up all of her music activities except for marching band. She offered to loan my “d” her flute. It is a professional flute and on the level of my d’s flute. The one she was borrowing was just an intermediate flute. When I talked to her tonight she sounded like her old self again. She said that one of the piccolos (they are a very close group) was having a party tonight. So her and her friends were headed there after she unpacked. She deserves to relax with her friends for awhile. She is excited because her flute professor is taking her students to a flute conference in VA next weekend. I was so relieved after talking to her, just to hear happy again, talking about other things. She did say that the most helpful person was her professor. I’m not sure what any of us would have done without her. She gave us her cellphone number so we could call whenever we had a question.
I still don’t have the final estimate for the flute yet so will let you know when we do.</p>
