These past couple of weeks were difficult in a few ways. Miriam's parents were for a week. Her dad is pretty conservative in a lot of ways and I got kind of upset with him a few times. I got sick about halfway through their visit. My best guess is I caught something while at the dentist without a mask while people were in close vicinity of my open ( Read more... )

Save the date!

Miriam and I are haveing a joint birthday party! I am turning 42 in November, and Miriam didn't have a party for her birthday in October, so we are going to have a joint online birthday party the evening of November 13. Exact time and online venue TBD.

More details will be forthcoming!

This Saturday will be on online birthday party for Danae! She's in Amstelveen, Netherlands, so in person doesn't work. But if you'd like details on how to connect via Skype/Discord, or if you'd like to join me and my family in Kenosha where we're going to be hanging out, please let me know!

I'm feeling some depression this morning, so I'm going to write about some good things from yesterday ( Read more... )

Happy birthday to my friend restoman! May it be a good one for you. *hugs*

My parents sent me an Amazon gift card for my birthday. I spent a little of it on a case for my new phone (a pretty one with cherry blossoms!), but I have some left. I want to buy something enjoyable for myself but I can't decide what. Normally it would be a board game, but I haven't even opened the five boxes of board games I brought with me when ( Read more... )

I had a great dinner with restoman at Firudo. I thought for a minute I'd over-ordered sushi and was going to have to pay extra, but I managed. I like the restaurant a lot, and their wasabi was really good. I may take Danae there rather than to Sakanaya (the conveyor belt place), which is fun, but possibly not quite as good, more dinery, less relaxing and ( Read more... )

I'm taking motivation from sabotabby and showing you what I'm wearing! To go out for birthday dinner, I'm wearing clothes I really like but that don't feel quite right for school here. Here's the belt I thrifted yesterday; I love it! I need more like this if I can find them.

I'm trying to decide where to go for my birthday meal. (Oh wow; that's this weekend!) All-you-can-eat buffets are a rare treat for me, so I want to do one of those. I'd have conveyor belt sushi in downtown Syracuse, but I'm taking Danae out for that while she's in town and it's pricy to do twice ( Read more... )

My parents took me out for all-you-can-eat sushi yesterday, and had red velvet cake at home afterward, as a belated birthday celebration. They are wonderful, and I feel loved. I also feel like my birthday lasted almost a week ( Read more... )
