I've been invited to hang out with some old friends tonight and play Shadowrun, and I'm not sure if I'm going to go.
On the one hand, it'd be cool to hang out with those people again.
On the other, I haven't done anything really gaming related in well over a year now. I don't know if I'm ready to fall off the wagon quite so soon.

After taking my father to the emergency room yesterday I decided to pause for a bit and take stock of my life.
I can't stay unemployed, it's just not going to work. As much as I know I'm helping my father, I don't know how I'm going to pay any of these medical bills off.
So, I decided, I'm going to get back into programming. There was once a time when it was all I could think about, I spent about seven years of my life in and out of school learning from whoever I could and when I didn't know anyone that could help me spending hours in the library studying whatever language I was into at the time.
Once I hit college that pretty much went away. After a year of formal instruction I had burned out completely and just couldn't take it anymore. I even sold my computer (*gasp*) and didn't even think about programming for over a year.
But now I think I'm over that, so I downloaded the latest release of Python (I figure I'll ease my way back in) and already I remember more than I thought I ever knew.
So who knows? Maybe after six months or so of re-learning I can find someone to hire me.
