In that time, I've had a little set back (an allergic reaction to some new lipbalm that kinda made it extremely hard to practice for....2 weeks.) and no time to practice consistently.

I just picked up the horn again for the first time in what seems like AGES (ok, it was 3 days) and...I can't believe how much fun it is to play that thing. Just to sit down and do long tones, to look through the BE book, to pull out my Arbans and just sightread, to do ANYTHING on the horn. It's really a great feeling.

Anyone else experienced this?

I'll be experiencing it next week, actually. Between finals, vacation, work, and most recently, having my wisdom teeth removed, it has been over 2 months. Not only will it sound bad, it will probably be painful after about 10 minutes (my endurance always takes a nosedive). Yep, looking forward to it, it's kinda like I'm about to go visit an old friend.
