Piano Fingers

I have this very strange compulsive habit that I run through every single night with my fingers like they are drumming on the keys of a piano. It is a compilation of four different patterns. Each pattern stems from an old vocal warmup or piano exercise, a short tune that is always stuck in my head, and (most importantly) each pattern finishes drumming back to my thumb... (to middle C).

This pattern that I follow has some variatons depending on how focused I am or how exhausted I am, but I follow these patterns before I go to sleep every single night.

Then, if I wake up in the middle of the night, I repeat it again before I fall back asleep.

The first three patterns are of exercises that are in a major key, and the last pattern is from a tune in a minor key.

I don't know why I stuck to these patterns..  I have gone through several different tunes (and they all have to end at the thumb), but these seem to be the ones that are most cathartic.

I am definitely a weird one.. but I love My Musical Life.
