Ticket to Ride :: Muni Under Fire

Aprille booked her tickets yesterday. She's really coming to SF now. Problem is that she's coming for a limited amount of time and there is a horde of people who are goign to want a chunk of that time. I wonder how much of it I will get to spend with them? I suggested that we take Taylor skiing for her birthday. If we decide to do that, we can visit Grandma on the way up or back. But I'll have to know soon so I can find Taylor something to wear. Aprille can just wear something of mine.

It's another gorgeous day outside. I doubt the weather will be this amazing when Aprille gets out here though. Too bad. It's so perfect right now. Really, it's like summer. I went out to John's by the beach for breakfast yesterday. Unbelievable the sun quotient out there.

Right now, I'm recooperating from yesterday. Wednesday started out on a terror note. Around 5:14 AM, 9 gunshots broke the silence settled in on our little industrial neighborhood. Two probably from a .357 and 7 more from an automatic weapon of some type. I immediately woke up hearing the first shot and rolled onto the floor like a well trained Dogpatch denizen. While waiting to hear the car speed away, I recounted the rhythm of the shots. I never heard a car speed away though. A little terrified, well a lot of the outside world now, I called a friend. Ended up trying to sleep in the Living Room but that never worked out. Turns out it was a couple of guys ambushing a Muni driver on his way into work. Sometimes, we all dislike Muni but this much???? Had to be some sort of thing between the guys. They are calling it premeditated murder.

Too many police cars and TV Vans around yesterday so I didn't hang around home. As I said, I went to John's. Later, I caught the bus and went to the rink for some practice. That was great. I think I am mastering everything we learned in class so far. I even worked on crossovers too. I took a pretty good fall at the end. I was really tired. I fell correctly though so I was proud over all.

Still not freaking out about time off but the fact I am not earning any money weighs on me at times. Need to have a little income. Coleen has another job offer already. Me, nothing. I have to be patient and keep trying to relax. Relaxing is so important.
