the 100% directionless thread

Ugh, spent more time on my oncall shift at the station than in my bed. Up and trying to get ready for class and commuting there. Starts at 0800, leaving at 0600 so I can get there early enough to stop by Starbucks (the one near class is the nearest one to me! over 70 miles away) I bet I'm gonna just drop asleep once I get home this afternoon
 
It is currently -6F outside. Toasty!

Hubz called me and said drive kids to school cuz it's -10 and he doesn't want them standing outside.

Then I couldn't find my keys.

Then I realized he had my ice scraper for my car.

Yeah, kids were late to school. LOL But they were warm!
 
socal I don't like you right now. Just sayin'. Brrrrr.
 
Had to buy my first pair of Rx glasses today. Where'd my 20/20 vision go?

I hate buying glasses. They put lensless frames on your face, show you a mirror and ask how you like it... uhm.. if I could see do you think i'd be shopping for glasses? I have to trust the person assisting me if the glasses look good or not, and usually the only ones that look good are the really expensive ones.

That's why I wear my contacts when I'm going shopping for new frames. MAkes it so I can actually see :)
 
Speaking of glasses, I've finally admitted to myself that I need to go see an optometrist. :unsure:

I spent a couple hours trying frames on. About ten minutes in I found a pair I really liked, they were Armani. They were also $400. I started looking at the price tag before trying on the frames after that :P

I finally decided they all look lame, so I picked the ones that looked like they wouldn't break in two days.
 
Going to the optometrist today to get my contact scrip. updated. It'll be nice not having things on the far wall of the classroom appear to overlap each other from each eye. Same for signs in the road off in the distance.

Back feels just a tinge sore yesterday from lifting people for the body mechanics part of the course. Don't think I'll be working out with my back muscles today, but at least I know it won't be too much of an issue to lift someone of my size. Woohoo!

Thanks for reminding me why there's a security system here.

Yep! Went down the hall, and took a position of cover with my pistol at low ready. Loudly announced myself, and after about 10 min I went to check it out. I found footprints in the snow outside, but couldn't follow them far. (too many other tracks).

Sig P229 in .40sw

I'm looking at getting something else in a month or so, maybe a glock 19, or a 1911.

I recently got g19, love it. Going from an M&P in .40 to 9mm, ammo costs have come down quite a bit.
