Nuttin Much

So haven't really been doing too much lately.  Been doing so wood carving, but I goofed big time!!  I noticed my tools were pretty dull and so I tried to sharpen them myself.  Bad, bad idea!  I used my dremel which apparently is like trying to sharpen them by through them against a brick wall.  So, they are duller then I started out with and completely useless to me now.  We didn't I just call my dad and ask him before I did it?  Was it my pride, independence?  No, it was simply lazy, stupidity. 
Fortunately, dad will rescue me from myself and even try to fix the wrong I've done.  Assuming I have not completely destroyed my tools, he is going to send me a Lansky sharpener.  He has not ever used it by says he knows people who swear by the sharpener.  I watched a video online on how to use the Lansky sharpener and it seems to be idiot-proof.  Which means there is a slight chance I'll be able to figure it out.
Now don't think I'm putting myself down or being to hard on myself.  I consider myself lucky that I'm able to laugh at myself and recognize my faults and mistakes and hopefully learn from them.  Although I must admit sometimes I make the same mistake more then once, but I do eventually figure it out.  So, this may be a costly mistake if I did in fact ruin my tools as I attempted to sharpen almost all of them.  I reckon my chisels will survive my blunder but I'm not so sure about my knife set.  I can barely afford my medication every month so I can ill afford a new knife set.  I am very disappointed to say the least.
Anyway, my little slice of haven here in NC was spared the awful twisters that devastated other parts of this beautiful state.  While I was outside cooking on the grill, other parts of NC, some as close as ten minutes from me, were getting completely destroyed by tornados, ripping apart homes and killing people.  I'm very sadden by this and so wish I could help those who were hurt by the storms.  I seriously doubt we will see any telethons trying raise money for those who lost so very much.  Although I must say Red Cross and FEMA were on the scene immediately to start helping folks.  You never give much thought (donations) to those organizations until you need...depend on them.  I for one will donate whatever I can spare because I am certainly guilty hearing their pleas for donations but not listening to them.  Shame on me.  I don't say that lightly, I truly feel terrible that I've not made any donation to such organizations that are such life savers to so many people. 
Well, enough of my pity bambling, I'm off to finish my house chores.  Although I much rather be carving!!
