It's Wednesday, 2:23 p.m, and the heat is no joke. It's 33 degrees celcius but it feels closer to 40. Today is a completely different story from yesterday's cool weather.
I had to rush back home from work just to escape the sun. Right now, I'm waiting for it to ease up before heading out again. I also called my mom to let her know I wouldn't be coming over since power was restored last night, so no need to go charge my phone there. She was fine, my sister's around and she doesn't need me today, which is honestly a relief.
On top of that, I followed up with a friend who called yesterday. I missed her call because I was in the middle of an online gig. When we spoke, she said I'm not a good listener. I was surprised because I always thought I paid attention, but it got me thinking. Maybe I talk too much and cut across people without realizing. So I'm trying to slow down, wait for the other person to finish, and actually listen, not just respond. How is your day shaping up

Life would be so much easier if your power was always on. I have that issue too..about cutting others off and or talking too much. It takes effort to listen, but it can be done. You seem like you respond very appropriately here, so maybe your friend is a bit too critical as well.

Good news hearing that your power was restored. Fingers crossed it stays fixed,
Ugh I hate the heat especially when it's so hot you want to escape.
It's interesting to hear that your friend said you weren't a good listener and that you took that as a way to think about it.

That's good to hear about the power.

You were probably really talking too much. Girls don't really like I when a guy talks a lot than them.
