Day 349 of 365: Emotional myopia

Have i mentioned how life can suck some times? Fortunately, there is always a way out. No matter how many mistakes you make, you'll always find a way out. The main issue is finding that way out. Can we see where the exit is? Not all the time. Often times, for men, we don't see it. Emotionally near-sighted with certain issues. i feel like work has taught me to be more stern. To stay firm about rules and policies. Learning to say 'no' to people. This is something i'm not used too in the past, but i've learned to get use to this type of attitude. Now why is it that it doesn't always work in all situations? Emotional myopia...

Today was a draggy day. Most of it was spent on pre-marital homework and some cleaning of the bathroom, drying of the clothes and preparation of evening errands. While going out to get lunch, i ran into a friend and we had lunch together. Funny how i don't have much experience in neighborly relationships... Some thing that i don't have a lot of...relationships with my neighbors.

Towards the evening, i had to make a drive down to Costco to pick up some photos for Annie and a long drive down to Milpitas to pick up our wedding programs. My dinner was en route with the tasty McDouble. Good enough for the time being since i'm not a picky eater to begin with. The drive down wasn't challenging, but it took a while because of all the traffic. Thank God i found my way to a place that i've only been to once before. Thank God again that it took me less time to head back! No traffic! Though i have to say that on the way back, i don't know why i was imagining my own kids sitting behind me and how i'm having a cute little conversation with him (my son) about why Daddy can't look at his toy because Daddy is driving. Brings back memories of me and my Dad. Specifically, he said, "Daddy cannot talk. He needs to concentrate." i wonder if i knew what that word meant at that time. Probably not if i remember asking for his attention again.
