Well, the good news is that I got 3 unbelievably great bullseyes.

The bad news is that they gave me a different type of Glock 9mm today — a Luger — a style I hadn’t used before, and it was way over my head. I think you have to have gigantic gorilla paws — or something equally powerful — to get that gun to do anything. My hands simply were not strong enough to even load the gun.

Literally, I could barely load the gun. I managed to get 4 bullets loaded on three different tries. And the 4th bullet — I couldn’t get it to fire, or even get it out of the gun in order to start over.

It was so frustrating.

And the range was really crowded this morning. All the lanes were full. That alone triggers my autism — all those people. Meaning that I go way deep into my protective psychological shell. And I almost immediately lose the ability to communicate.

Plus, the instructor was really busy since so many people were there, so I couldn’t keep calling him over to help me load the darn gun — one bullet at a time, no less!

And it was doubly frustrating because those 3 bullets I did fire were the best bullseyes I’d had yet.

Long story short — I left the range after 4 bullets. But the good news is — I signed up for a session of private instruction. For next week. So maybe I can finally learn how to load whichever darn gun they give me, and how to tell the difference between guns that I can or can’t handle. And probably a whole bunch of other stuff that hasn’t even occurred to me yet!

We shall soon see!!

In other good news!!

WOW, gang, is my house CLEAN!!

I was at it for about 6 solid hours yesterday. But every room is finally clean. And, most importantly, my guest room and the entire upstairs, is finally back to normal.

Such a great feeling. You know — bring on Easter, because the Spring cleaning is done!!!!

And that Bissell carpet shampooer — I know I keep saying it, but, wow, gang, is it a great machine. I am so glad I finally decided to buy it. It is mind boggling, how easy it is to use (it requires absolutely no bullets), and it does such a great job.

Anyway, so part of my life is working out okay!

Meanwhile, I still have the rest of the day off, and Peitor is still at Series Mania in France, so there is nothing pressing to do with the script right now, and I can just relax.

I’m trying to remember the last time I relaxed…. Hmmm. Nothing’s coming.

So I’m going to take advantage of the downtime today. Because as soon as Peitor is back home in Nice, we will have a ton of revisions to do.

And life goes on.
