I've gotten busy again. These things are so hard to maintain. My life isn't terribly interesting, I'm afraid, much less good reading material. I do little else besides work, paint, and feed keep my house. It's not very exciting to anyone but me. My plants are doing well? Ambrose is getting so big; I think I may need to pick up a larger terrarium for him. He seems quite happy where he is for now so I may wait a little longer before making that purchase.
A lot of my clothing doesn't fit well anymore. I'm not sure why this is. It's true I've had difficulty hunting since returning that I haven't been eating as much as I used to but I didn't think I had cut back enough for my weight to drop this much. I need to start taking better care of myself so I won't have this problem or worse ones anymore.
My neighbor lent me some CDs from his collection recently. I'm aware my musical tastes tend to be rather outdated or strange but I'm open to trying new things. One artist I find myself growing rather fond of is Rurutia. Not only are her lyrics powerful, her voice lovely to listen to, and she is beautiful, her insistence on secrecy fascinates me. I wonder how she would taste I picked up a copy of her latest CD and intend to purchase the rest after I get my next bonus.
I've been good about limiting my spending. No more unscheduled purchases of late. I've successfully cut back on the amount of electricity I'm using and this month's bill was considerably cheaper than the last.
My boss's daughter asked me out on a date for this weekend. Japanese girls are so forward these days. I declined politely but she seemed so down by my rejection that I promised that I would come see her garden sometime after work. I am curious. Perhaps I'll ask her to come to the city's gardening festival with me next spring if she's willing to tolerate my eccentricities for the event.
[I checked my bank account and I believe I have enough now. If dipped into my savings, I could afford one easily. I'm not sure which he would rather have, a used violin or a brand new one. A new one seems like a bit much for someone who says he hasn't played in years but I don't want to just hand him something old and worn down either. Maybe if I take him shopping after my next bonus? I can put my own purchases on hold another month. I hope I won't hurt his feelings or offend him in any way if I do this. I don't want to bring back any awful memories on accident but he's been such a good friend to me since I came here, I want to give something back.]
