Rainy day number two.

When I first woke this morning, blue peeked through the heavy clouds.   I had a wishful thought that it might be about over… but nope.    It’s raining again.

At least Florida has proper wind when it rains.   My yard is a mess of sticks.   Something to do later while Jason sleeps in.

Hey!
Just like that, the blue sky is back and the wind is gone.   If it stays away for an hour or so, maybe I’ll venture out and walk somewhere.  It’s really kind of humbling to be over forty and not have a car.  I’m glad I’ve got a set of good legs.

Funny, I don’t have a car, but I pay car insurance.

Anyway, yesterday, I did figure out how to connect the PS3.   It did put Catherine in and, when the boy came home, I promptly surrendered the controller.  No apparent reason, I suppose, outside I know I’d eventually become embarrassed.

I used to be a diva of video games, but a lot has changed between then and now.  The last game I seriously defeated was Kingdom Hearts.   The last Final Fantasy had Yuna in it.  It’s just been a long time, although I still enjoy them.

The boy doesn’t play as much as he used to.  But, for some reason, I start to feel painstakingly embarrassed if he watches me play.   That turns into frustration and, eventually, I just want to stop altogether.  This happens every single time, even if we’re in a co-op game.

When he came home early, I was having problems with one of the introductory block puzzles.  He sat on the couch to watch and I gave him the controller.   That was it for the night.  I’m glad he didn’t try to give it back.  I guess this is a block that I got to eventually work my way through.

Meh.

Confession –
I ran away from a job.
Yesterday, I got a couple of emails from Emily asking if I’d take on a second class next term.   It was a basic English class but 15 weeks in length instead of the usual 7.5.   I’ve always been given the short classes, so a longer one might be a good change of pace.   But, I didn’t respond to her.

So, she emailed on my personal account.
–  Still didn’t respond.

I think she might have even tried to call because a strange number came up on my ID.   I didn’t answer it.  Habitually, I don’t answer strange numbers anyway.

This isn’t like me.
If I don’t want to do something, I’m a-okay saying no.   I tend not to hide from people.    That’s rude and disrespectful.    It’s also not like me to turn down work.  Dr. S certainly doesn’t recommend full time, but I’ve done two classes from Bryant since I got out of the house.   The offers are exceedingly rare, but I’ve done so.

It would have been some greatly needed extra cash, but I just hid.   Not sure why.

I’m sure this will come back to bite me on the butt someday and I kind of regret it, but there has to be some reason why I didn’t pick it up.

Oh well.   It’s over now.

I must have had some reason, even if I don’t know what it was.

Anyways…
