Long time no update... so here's a disconnected mind dump.

It's been a while since I posted here. The fact is I've been really busy, and otherwise nothing spectacular has happened recently.

Relationship is stable. Job is stable. Everything is just nice.

I quit my teaching job (felt kind of guilty), so I'm earning (much) less, but I have way more free time, and I'm much better able to pay attention at my real job. All in all, I feel great about the decision.

It's wonderful to be able to spend more time with my loving girlfriend, and I'm looking forward to the summer time! I'll want to have that free time when the weather is nice!

It was nice to have the chance to visit my friend's cat while she was away on holiday! I really want a cat sooo much but it's prohibited in my building. :(

A new Japanese restaurant opened in my building today. Cyd Ho (whose office is next door) told me "of course!" when I asked her if it meant there would be more rats and cockraches... yuck.

Actually, I've never seen a single cockroach in my flat, but we've had a rat twice. Really terrible. The first one got in to the rice. The second one I think ran in and out of the door while my daughter left it open one day. Of course, if I had a cat, it wouldn't be a problem!!! Maybe that'll be my excuse if some day I sneak one in, and later get caught by the landlord!! :p

My landlord is so nice, otherwise! The nicest landlord I've ever had in my life! Must have a nice life, too, just golfing all the time. He must be a pretty good golfer by now. I'm happy for his sake that he finally rented out the first floor restaurant. But I was hoping it would be a sauna or massage place or something! LOL! Well, I guess a Japanese restaurant is better than another kind of restaurant, as it's usually cleaner. Hopefully it'll be a nice place to eat too.

I've really grown fond of Nice... I think I eat there about five times a week now! Mostly for breakfast, but also for lunch or dinner usually on Sunday.

I've been going to the dentist lately to fix my poorly maintained teeth. Quite a hassle. Finally getting my fillings put in in 2 weeks. And at least my breath won't be as bad... :p

I'm just lucky my teeth aren't worse. They're actually not really that bad.

Photography hobby is great! Work is great! Other hobbies are great! Bought too many skirts and bikinis and tops and shorts and pants and lingerie for Fanny! But if anyone deserves my generosity she does. She gives me all the love and friendship I need, and that's really the only thing I need in a relationship. Economically speaking, I think she's getting a pretty good deal! But we're both happy.

Swim season!

My company has a pool on the roof, and I think I'll start swimming at work when the weather gets nice! I think rather than swimming in the morning or after work, I'll swim in the middle of my shift. That way I'll get a little sun as well! It's nice to have the freedom to do it!

The friend I introduced to my company is doing great!!! She was really the right person for the job, and it seems this was the right job for her. I'm so proud of her, and I knew she could do it. I think she's getting a good raise after her review.

Now I need to sleep... I'll post something else another day. I've been wanting to post about my favorite comic strip, What the Duck! But I'll save that for later.

Until next time... be nice. Be honest. And be fun.

That's all.
