Had a good morning, but then technology let me down this afternoon. Trying to marry devices to my speech processor. And them stubbornly refusing to play ball, even though were all set up to automatically connect. An hour later I am in a bad mood. So frustrating. I could have quite happily used an axe on the equipment.
Popeye opted to go to the potting shed despite the dark and stormy day. The feral cats had just been through my garden. And Popeye was wagging his tail furiously. I have on a harness and lead, but if any cat had appeared he was in fighting mode, and wanted the harness and lead off...
Absolutely not. So he said naughty words to me. Then he opted to go in the potting shed. I have checked on him a few times, but now it's just gone four pm and this is a dark and stormy afternoon. Rain is teeming down.
I had to set up a different technology system (but I need my original system for a better clarity of music, this one is blurred and music is just one noise with no variation in anything much, and not a joy or comfort to listen to.), and am managing with that solution. Bluetooth also wasn't playing ball for direct transmission to my speech processor. Something was interfering with it. This happens. Tomorrow the original system may work.
I was frustrated doing this painting in ZenBrush2 of a long Popeye as he was lying in my bed this morning taking up half the bed. Because I was in a bad mood this afternoon with the music problem. Then near the end I got into this digital painting. And another thing, is my brain is adjusting filling in this music to a bit of what I normally hear from it. The music noise is now filling out with a bit of what I usually hear from it, so now there is a bit more variation in the music. I have been playing the same song on repeat the last 2 hours. I cannot play music as a continuous loads of different songs as I assuming hearing people do. It becomes one continuous noise of annoying proportions for me with my cochlear processor. Playing a song on repeat for a few hours gives my brain a chance to get/pull something out of the music.
But the frustrating thing is that I have to start all over again tomorrow. My brain doesn't carry on this music 'learning' through until the next day or the next time I listen to the same piece of music. I have to start all over again.
I had better get that cat, it is teeming with rain, windy, and getting quite dark...
Cat asleep under my Berber fleece. It is unusual for him to sleep in a long manner like this. He is usually curled up in ball almost.
