Disappointment

-

The problem with disappointment is that even if you prepare yourself for it, it doesn't make it hurt any less.

My Dad postponed the date he was to be going away, because my Stepmother is coming over here for 2 weeks for work-related things, and she didn't like the idea of him being all by himself for that long. To tell the truth, neither did I.

But the thing is, I was looking forward to April because I had April all to myself last year, and I loved it! So I was looking forward to having that again. Especially the first weekend, where it would be Easter and I wouldn't have the youth club and I was planning on doing a big clean of the house. But now that's all been taken away from me. I'll only get May to myself now, and then another month or so of not being alone, and then I should hopefully be alone again but I'll have to brave spider season by myself.

So what do I do? My plans for April will now have to change. I'll have to play my games that I was planning to play during April upstairs, and spend a load of time upstairs, and hope I don't interrupted because these specific games are LONG. And I'll have to keep using my Switch 2 in handheld mode for it rather than on the TV... But at least one of these games recently got an update that makes them run better in handheld mode, so maybe things aren't completely out of my favour.

The problem I have is that when I'm looking forward to something, there are things I won't want to do until then, so I end up wishing all the weeks away until it gets to the right time. So when the thing I'm looking forward to gets postponed by another month? How do I get through all that extra time without feeling like I'm wasting it?

Uncertainty

-
People are panicking right now over these supposed reports about the producers at Strictly Come Dancing actually being ruthless for the first time in years and dropping certain professional dancers. I wasn't too worried about my fave at first, but now it seems uncertain as to whether he will survive the cull or not. On the one hand, the pro lineup had gotten too big because many of them didn't want to leave on their own accord, and it's good if they're trying to reduce the number of pros on the bench (which would probably go back to 0 is not for having to take same sex partnerships into account). But on the other, quite a few of the ones who have supposedly been axed or given a lesser role are those who people thought haven't had much of a chance to shine, and because of that they haven't connected well with viewers, which is more likely to get them dropped. Anyway, I hope this all gets cleared up soon, and it turns out my fave is safe. I started watching the la...

Nothing Interesting On

Something my Dad is bothered about is how there aren't many interesting TV shows on most evenings at the moment, or new episodes of shows released on streaming services. Monday has the Quiz shows, but one of the three they usually have on has finished, while the other two are close to finishing, and then we'll have to go a few months without those before they start up again. And then there's not much on the other days either. I've not got many shows to be invested in at the moment, and I have other ways I can entertain myself, so it never really bothered me when there was nothing interesting on. I don't know what my Dad could do to be less bored in the evenings.

A Small Wet Adventure

Not that kind of wet!!! Can't I use certain words without them being interpreted in an inappropriate way?  Anyway, today I went out to a park because I wanted to go somewhere with some uphill areas that wasn't the local woods, and it was raining a lot. I thought I'd be fine because my coat has a hood, but it clearly wasn't enough and the coat that was supposed to be waterproof got soaked. So I wanted to go along a different path, one of those shortcut paths, so that I'd be slightly more sheltered from the rain. I say slightly because at this time of year the trees have no leaves on them so they don't shelter you as much from the rain as they do in summer. So I spent ages walking around the trees while trying not to slip, and ended up finding myself at some dead ends. I didn't want to go all the way back the way I came, though, so I kept looking for other paths that could help me get back onto the main path, while I wasn't getting any dryer. At least I go...
