Because I'm really tired and want to go to bed early. But I did want to tell you that I finished watching the playlist of instructional videos by Mr. Let's Play Piano Methods for my Alfred's All-In-One level 2 book. I still have to learn to play the songs, but once I'm done with those, I'm done with the book. Woo hoo!
I think I might go back and go through my Faber's level 1 book before starting Alfred's level 3, but after that, who knows?
In other news, Demi-God met me this morning and said, "My daddy is mad as ****!" I thought, but didn't say out loud, "Your daddy is always mad as ****." Out loud, I just chuckled and asked, "What's he mad about this time?"
As it happens, he'd gone turkey hunting and had killed a big old tom turkey. He had the fan all laid out drying so he could get it mounted, and his daughter-in-law's cats decided to turn his fan into a cat toy. Not Demi-God's wife, but one of his other sons'."
I couldn't help but laugh and say, "That's cats for you!"
It reminded me of a time when my cousin was cutting up a deer, turned his back for one moment, and Rylea swiped a big chunk of the meat. Boy, he was furious. But she was just doing what dogs do. I told him next time to let me know and I'll keep her shut up until he was done. That was a long time ago...
In other news, I bought this little weather radio, flashlight, power bank, SOS signal, reading light gadget back in 2019.
It's been really handy to have around, especially during the recent ice storm after my Harvey lantern's batteries ran down and I didn't have enough of the right size to replace them. You could almost say it saved my sanity.
Well, I was poking around on Amazon, and discovered they had a newer, updated model. I wasn't going to get it at first, because I already had one and didn't really need another one. But the thing kept haunting me, and eventually I gave in and bought it -- reasoning that I could give it to Cody for Christmas.
It arrived today, and let's just say, Cody's going to have to get something else for Christmas, because I'm keeping this puppy. As you can see, it's slightly larger than the old one, and the SOS button is in a much more accessible location.
The radio sounds so much better, the flashlight has three different brightness levels, and it's got battery percentage indicator lights on the front.
And look at this! Built in charger cables for you phone or tablet.
No more having to keep up with a separate cable! That is handy if you want to take it camping or hiking or whatever. Other than that, it's pretty much the same as the old one -- which I will keep. We've been through too much together for me to cast it aside like a piece of trash. I'll probably keep one in my bug out bag, and one in my tornado safe space.
And finally, I'd planned on pinching my zinnias today, but after doing some research, I decided to wait. Most sites and videos say to pinch them when they're between 8 and 10 inches tall, and mine aren't quite that big yet. I'll give them another week or so, then maybe I can pinch them.
But look at this. It appears my garlic is about ready to harvest.
If I keep growing so much food, I'm going to have to start cooking eventually.
But not today. Today, I'm going to bed.
Good night.
