27 01 07 More power to the left engine!
Either all my practice with the CI is paying off, or my new map is a good one - or both. Every day now, I pick up at least one sentence or phrase by listening, and most of the time, I'm not even trying. Yesterday I was elsewhere in the house when I heard Aaron say to Doran, "Stop!" I heard Samara say to Aaron, "I want to see!" One morning, she even said something to my back, and I responded in kind and then turned around to look at Aaron to say, "Did you see that?!!" Whenever I rationalize it by saying I only heard these things because I know the person well and can predict what they'll say or figure it out based on context, I have to remind myself that hearing people do that too, and I AM hearing these things regardless!
The only downside is that with a more powerful map, my slim cell batteries (the smaller ones that fit me better) aren't lasting as long. I was already getting in the habit of taking an extra battery with me, even when I was on my second battery, so that should help. I'll have to see how long my larger batteries will last with this map - before, I could get through the day without changing.
Yipeeeeee!! Imagine how happy your father is… let alone the rest of the family!! Awesome what CI can do!! How is music for you?
