Dear unnamed author:

I get that you have a favorite word. However, you probably shouldn't use it as often as you do. "Glowing" would be a less intrusive synonym, or "gleaming". Also, the first time you used it, you should've defined it. Your readers think "lambent" means "sheep-like". Depend on it.

Slowly working my way through practice pieces on the piano

just like when I was a kid, but systematically. It's all "ugh I hate this it's impossible" forever then suddenly "no, wait, it's doable" then "okay, time to move on".

One advantage I have over childhood is first, I took the time to get things in between "beginning material" and "yes, this is for the person who knows how to play piano!" but also I can go to Youtube if I have any doubts.
