crossover_chick | Driving Lesson Postponed

Mostly because my parents were busy getting projects done (we now have a shoe bench and trim for the living room bookcases) and were just too tired to tackle teaching me to back up. I did have a longer drive home from work than usual, since Mom had to go to the fabric place -- did a little merging and suchlike. Worked out fine. We also realized there's a closer lot to practice in (a shopping center), and I managed to disabuse them of the notion I would want to go after supper (I want to take my shower at a decent hour!), so we're gonna get that done tomorrow afternoon. I don't think I'm too terrible at backing up (I mean, I get out of the driveway each morning, and parking spots) -- it's just I get nervous going too fast in reverse. So yeah -- practice that.

Rest of the day has been pretty quiet. Work was mostly roster maintenance. Weather was rather icky -- chilly, with passing sprinkles. I still got a walk at lunch, it was just shorter than usual. But I got some more written on "Fixing You" (went back to add some stuff about the Liddells knowing the Houndsditch kids, and now they're talking about Lizzie and Bonejangles's fateful Halloween trip), and I'm a bit ahead on my main tumblr queue (did my Sims posts for Wednesday, featuring Temporary Nudist Emmett XD). So that's nice at least. Rest of the week is probably going to be stressful (CAP meeting tomorrow, and of course the upcoming road test. . .), so it's nice to have one quiet day.

And now I should really get to bed. Night all!
