Driving Refresher and An Upsetting Experience π
Driving Refresher
Went on my driving refresher today - first of 5 sessions Instructor is sound and I pretty much explained the situation to him: Got hit by a truck when I was learning originally, some drug dealing scumbag almost killed me a couple weeks back whilst he was fleeing the cops (Asshole ) and I've seen lots of shit on the road when I was a cop myself, so my driving anxiety and nerves are pretty bad
We basically drove around my town and the surrounding areas for 2 full hours and things got more complex as the lessons went on and I handled everything well He's given me advice etc. on how to relax behind the wheel and identified the behaviours I need to improve on e.g. checking mirrors, knowing when to pull out etc.
Want to say a quick thank you to Striker for the back and forth we had the other day on my log regarding getting value for money with driving instructors I timed it and I definitely got my money's worth, so I'll be sticking with this guy He seems a decent bloke - was telling me he got into teaching driving as some dude he knew who drove like a lunatic crashed his car and winded up killing himself. He was only young, so this inspired him to want to teach kids about how to be safer on the roads
Might seem like a little thing, but this was a big step for me. Chalking this up as a big win
An Upsetting Experience π
Something else happened yesterday which made me feel a bit low I've got this bird box in my garden with 6 birds in Hadn't seen the parents for a couple of hours which is unusual. So I took the box down, took a look inside and the young birds are in there still chirping I went and bought some mealworms from the pet store and tried to feed them, but they wouldn't have it.
I took a look this morning and they've all passed on.
Upset my dad a little bit as he likes animals. Bird box needed clearing out and my dad was too upset to do it, so I had to empty it out. I dug a hole down the garden and put them in, buried them and said a few words over the grave.
Didn't feel right to just put them in the bin.
So yeah, bit of an upsetting experience, but I guess it's a part of nature. I did what I could for them anyway.
Any other business:
- I'm back on No-Fap. Noticed that my sex drive is incredibly low lately and I'm chalking it up to this. Got a tracker for my phone, so I'll keep on this and keep myself distracted in the meantime
- Still not heard from my P.T guy at the time of writing this post. I'll give it until tomorrow afternoon then I'll hit him up on text and see where he's at
Thanks for reading
