Another Day, Just That I'm Off

Last night, I was driving home from work.
Reached home, opened the gate to park my car inside.
As usual, did that, nothing interesting.
Then I went forward, just about to park the car, and I heard one of my dogs screaming.
I ran over its leg.
I didn't feel a bump, but luckily the car wasn't really sound-resistant, so I could hear the screaming.
I immediately reversed. My mom went straight to the porch, checking if the dog was alright. I parked my car, with many metres away from the front.
The dog was limping. I was hoping that she will be alright.
Thankfully, she was jumping up and down today. Phew, luckily it wasn't severe.
It sure was a close call.

Nothing interesting happened today itself.
However, I did manage to learn Michael Buble's song, Everything and the intro of Haven't Met You Yet on the keyboard.
I encountered something very strange when playing the intro of Haven't Met You Yet.
I just could not concentrate playing with both hands.
I got frustrated, started hitting my own head etc.
And then, I just tried using the opposite hands for the song. My left hand on the right, and my right hand on the left.
It was a very pleasant surprise, as it worked! Woo hoo!
Hands get a bit tiring, because I'm not used to playing this way.
I was wondering why I could only concentrate playing both hands, with them in opposite sides.
Turns out that I'm so used to using my left hand in playing chords, that I can't switch hands.
And for this song, the chords are supposed to be played on the right side, as it's supposed to be played with my right hand.
Not the case for me. I can play it now, that's most important.

Lastly, I need to get people to read my blog! :P
I'll slowly, lets say, promote it. :D
But well, not everyone's interested anyway, so what the heck.
See you all.
