A seven month-old child gets hearing aids. Hears her father's voice. Reaction starts at the 14 second mark. 30 second run-time.
Today's work-tickets
Mow Southern Belle's orchard and go for a walk with her.
Go to the store and buy some non-perishable foods to top off our pantry for the winter. We are six jars of peanut butter and five jars of instant coffee shy of our "Max" storage target.
Visit a friend on Bellevue Hwy. I verbally committed to purchase an item from him, now I need to give him the money and take delivery.
Go for a walk with Mrs ERJ.
Keep working on the fence. Get a tub in the pasture to hold water.
Contact a neighbor and purchase two, big round-bales of hay.
Small bits-and-pieces
I need to get better at finding tasks that I can squeeze into five minute chunks of time. One of the consequences of Southern Belle's new job arrangement is that Quicksilver's drop-off time varies from day-to-day.
I need to put down the lap-top and do something productive, even if it is just putting away laundry.
Appreciate the time notes on the video, but this might be one that doesn't need them. The first 10 seconds or so let you see the world the child was living in, and when the aids are installed you see, and understand, what that child is experiencing.
ReplyDelete30 second warning is good, but I could have watched a few more minutes of this.
That is the best way to start a Monday ever, ERJ. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I am trying to do with short periods of time is trying to remind myself to drill on small memory things. I have a number of flash card apps on my phone for languages; five minutes is enough time to get ten to twenty done.
That was something. The moment of awareness by the child was immediately apparent. An incredible thing to see.
ReplyDeleteDAMN, it got dusty in here... But that was beautiful!
