Rio,
I can relate to not using a taxie siveral times I needed to use them and finally after struggling to call, when they caught here I would not go out and they left, I was so mad at myself, so it is a very big, big, deal you should be very proud of yourself. Think of your violyn like it was a little child, you would not make a child walk in the bad wether. That is what I try sometimes when I am struggling to do something.
