went out with dad to pick up gas for the stove, and thereby get a driving lesson in.

was doing very badly today. dad got freaked/a little angry, and consequently, i got freaked out.

and started crying, feeling all my worries about being a burden right now, and not being able to get a job come rushing up on me. had to pull off and calm down for a little bit.

dad was cool, though. he calmed right down and started to get upset that he'd made me upset. he said not to worry about being a burden, and if it got too close, i'd just find a job in the neighborhood. which was mildly annoying, i hate this neighborhood, but he meant well.

got calmed down, finished going to the get the gas. i did a lot better on the way home; saw a mail truck coming, plenty far enough that i could turn, and instead of waiting for it pass like i normally would, took my turn anyway. might have pulled out too fast doing it, but i did it.

still. i need to get out of the house, i think. might help me to calm down, i don't know. not the next couple of days, though. we're supposed to have a hard freeze down here tonight, that'll last awhile. dad said we haven't had a freeze this hard since i was a kid, that one time it snowed. this is Florida, it's not supposed to get this cold!
