Our Love Story Begins Today

But it allows me to also not always be working. Today was my day off, but I spent it working. Still a little annoyed that I was so adamant about getting a loaner laptop so I could work last night and this morning, but I ended up not really working.  But that’s kind of the benefit of the job I have.  Blurring the lines of work and play does have its benefits. Please remember that as I will try to work in San Diego, but we’ll see how that goes. TTQD!!!

I don’t think we’ll ever really know if being on time (early per their instructions) is helpful, but I like to think it is. Even though I ended up waiting 15 minutes after my appointment time to be seen and it was a short appointment, I don’t want to be faulty. The appointment was actually more productive than I thought. Maybe I’ll live a better life now. TLT!!

I probably told you the story about how we almost died laughing when Ritchie told us that he was blessed. But to be honest, he seems to live a carefree life and so maybe he’s onto something. We are blessed too. I know I keep wanting to win the lottery, but I am also aware of how lucky and fortunate I am, even considering all the things currently befalling my family and friends. Be like Ritchie and remember we’re blessed. TTQD!!

I’ll admit, I didn’t do much to “get” you. You kind of just fell into my lap. Thanks Co Hong and may you rest in peace. But most things in life require work. If you want a bright future for Vinh, he and everyone that cares about him will have to put in work. It’s no different with our relationship. We have to put in work and realize we have problems and find solutions together. Just because every couple bickers doesn’t make it okay or something to strive for. Our relationship depend on us working together. You want to try Depends? 😂 TLG!!

Www. I guess it is what it is. Traveling with kid and wife is different than traveling alone or with wife. I probably didn’t need that waffle anyways… There was this waffle, but it wasn’t as good or fresh. Even the church waffle was better. Life’s changing. Gotta figure out how to enjoy the ride. TLG!!!

Somebody is sleeping… Wonder what you’re dreaming about? I’m not sleepy anymore, but I sure am tired. I’m also not hungry, but I feel bad about wasting the food. Glad it was enough to satisfy us though. I finished all my drinks so I can re-up tomorrow with another one. Poor Vinh, I hope he feels better soon. TLG!!!

That’s what we do. Every city we go, we see the same hoes…it’s a rap song. Anyhow, I didn’t forget about Trang. I’m pretty sure I mentioned it before that I’d buy her a house with your parents. It’s not a lot of people, but having lots of money would at least improve the lives of people we care about. It’s kinda mean, but I would use a lawyer to fight Kim for everything and make them rack up legal fees until there’s nothing left if they didn’t treat the situation fairly. #vengeance TYGQD!!!

Not sure if I’ll have time or remember to blog tonight. Another trip, so far, so good. Although I don’t feel like we’ve become masters or travel with baby yet like we are without. There was a little hiccup with parking, car water, and flight delay, but nothing that we couldn’t handle and you as a single mom. See you later. TYGN!!! D

I’ve always known we’ve had this, but I didn’t know what it was about. We had a meeting today and it seems like it’s pretty cool and something maybe you can use as well. It’s very broad, but I think the mental health is a good start. Not saying anything is wrong, but I recommend you take some time to check it out. I’m gonna do it too. TTQD!!!

And not the daycare, but me. Had a super busy day today or at least busy enough that I am finally able to blog. Plus I have an early morning tomorrow. Eric made lunch for me. Pretty good. Hope you’re able to get some rest tonight. I can’t wait for everything to calm down. Hopefully we’ll be able to unplug a little while in Denver. 🙏 TTQD!!!

It’s funny cause I don’t want to sleep, but I get tired when I put him down to sleep I get sleepy. I just fell asleep with him, but he woke up. So I fed him some more.  I think he’s sleeping again. You’re working OT today so it’s important that he sleeps a little longer. But he did actually nap today at daycare, albeit in someone’s arms. He needs to learn to nap on his own. TLG!!!

I really can’t blame the other players. Just because they play and win and text me, doesn’t mean I need to play. I realize now that I have more bad luck than good luck when it comes to sports betting. I also am too emotional about it and can't dedicate the time/effort it takes to improve my odds. Lastly, I don't have the stomach for this. I have to remember that. Anyhow, I was listening to country music while swimming and it was from the time before I met you.  Music has a great way of expressing emotions I always thought. Like love and loss and loneliness. I don’t think our love story is like any of the songs, but when we’re good it’s great. Life can be so simple and rewarding. I thought about that as I was swimming. Anyhow, money is important, but I have to find a way to worry and about acquiring more of it less and enjoy the money and pleasures I have now. DLLD!!!

I had a relapse into sports betting this week. I guess if I had won, I probably wouldn’t have felt bad, but losing feels bad. So here we are. I’m telling you because I want you to know that I’m not perfect and I fail too. I also hope the shame will motivate me more not to fail in the future.  It’s kinda of funny because I had a totally different blog post idea this morning after getting back from swimming, but this is not more important, but rather I want to make sure I get it down. It’s always funny how I try to find special dates or reasons to change. I’m gonna not wait for the end of the week or lent to start, but start now. Sorry I’m www. TLG!!!

Burritos are kinda like a giant Mexican spring roll. Filled with lots of goodness and better with sauces. Life is like a burrito. The ingredients you put into it determine how it tastes. And it’s possible that some good things don’t alway go together or too much of a good thing is too much. Not quite Forest Gump, but thought provoking nonetheless. TTQD!!!

Maybe today is our lucky day. Winning the lottery would solve a lot of our problems. It’s fun to dream, but we’re fortunate we have a good life. Today felt like a weekend so it’s nice that tomorrow is only Saturday. I survived a week without many coworkers. I think I’m gonna be okay. Stay humble. Remember we’re blessed. TYGN!!!

People suck. That’s really all you can say. That’s why it’s even more important and impressive when people don’t suck. We shouldn’t reward people for doing what they’re supposed to be doing, but it seems like a lot of people are not responsible anymore. E doesn’t suck. I hope she never sucks. The world would be better if she didn’t. THQD!!!

You still want to sell some bars? Gold prices jumped to $1940 today which was the high I sold it last time at, but I think the recent high (a few years) was like $2000.  Wish I had sold it at $2000 and bought it back at $1600. Never know where prices will go, but I figured we will be keeping a lot of bars, it would be okay to sell some and possibly buy more if it goes down. TTQD!!!

From zero, now there are two orphan recycling bins. What the hell? What crazy wind we have today. Hopefully everyone gets safely to where they’re going. Eric did come by and we chatted for a bit. I’m behind on work, but there’s always time to chat with friends. Work will get done. Wonder if I should call the county about these bins…TLG!!!

Today we had lunch. But more specifically, you had a cookie, took my remaining lunch, and slept. It’s okay, I’m willing to make sacrifices for you. Vinh seems to be having a good day at school. Hopefully we’re at a positive inflection point. He’s had it pretty rough. Sadly he still has a week left of drugs fortunately it’ll only be one drug for the last 5 days. TLG!!!

My apologies this morning. I should have woken you up sooner for our plans. I will do that tomorrow. You will need to be up 615 for us to get all the drugs into Vinh before you go. I need to make his milk too. WWW on sending the photos to Jehan. I think we should probably make more of an effort to go to mass on Saturday. Sundays are always a crap shoot. TLG!!!

Check out this crazy sick baby! Crazy cute!!! And crazy sick. At least we mastered the ear infection routine. This nebulizer thing is new, but he seems to be getting sort of okay with it. Hopefully there’s nothing else we’re missing besides your room being a little colder. At least it’s moister. TTQD!!

Another day, another womp.  He’s  not dying, but poor guy can’t catch a break. Just want you to know we’re not failure at parents. But we are responsible because we gave him life 😂. Anyhow, it’s nice that it’s the weekend. Hopefully we can get him in a good place for daycare Monday. 🙏 TLG!!

Dad fell today supposedly, but he seems okay per Marcus, but now mom is afraid to leave him and go to Minh’s. Mom supposedly is washing trashable containers and when Marcus mentioned he can buy her new ones she said she doesn’t need anyone… Carolyn didn’t like this background for our group photo so I took one of me for you, but she said it would turn out dark face. Was she right? No lawyers called Minh back except one. And this is just my family…TLG for reals not for cute…

Well you had Vinh by yourshelf this morning. I had to go to office. I also dropped off eggs and snacks to Minh. I hope you had a good time with Vinh. That shampoo in Maui was expensive. We should have used more lol. Not sure how long I have to stay here and be available for people to come by and chat if needed. #politics. TTQD!

Another day, another dollar. Anyhow, gotta keep churning. Gotta keep working. Gotta keep going. Gotta keeping being okay. Mom held Vinh today. Said he’s lighter than Z lol. I think Vinh is growing on her. He has that impact on people. Thanks again for trying to make dad dinner, but sometimes results aren’t great even with great intentions. Probably worked out for the best. TTQD!!

You working the early shift Mondays is definitely a double edged sword. It’s nice that you’re able to pick up Vinh and get home earlier, but it messes up my Monday (and daily) routine. Here’s the pastries that you didn’t get to eat, but it’s not all my fault. Ally ate one (even though they had their own box) and we gave 2 to mom and dad. Anyhow, I still think it’s good that you work early Mondays if you’re okay with it. TTQD!!

Except my Em. I wish I could win the lottery so you could sleep all the time, but so far, I haven’t won. I was thinking the other day, would you be comfortable with me working in porn or strip club if it meant I could make enough money for you to stay at home? Or what if I worked for an ex gf who was still madly in love with me and was super hot? Anyhow, hope you slept well and will get up soon. I know you have the overnight shift, but at least he eventually goes to sleep. These day time shifts suck 😂. TLG!!!

Sleeping…except me… Why? Because when I want to sleep I can’t. And when I’m allowed to sleep I’m not sleepy. Just my luck, but it’s for you and Vinh so I will take one for the team. Ngu ngon fam. I guess I’ll blog. TYGN!!

But every time it try to sleep I get woken up. Cruel irony to say the least. I’ve only had one meal today. Wonder why I’m not hungry. Guess it was inadvertent fasting today… Actually I had 2 ice cream sandwiches and some nun crackers, but that’s not that much. Here’s hoping little Vinh sleeps until you get home. The workers at the front desk really like Vinh. Just goes to show being cute helps. Www for me. TLG!!!

I didn’t know what to blog about today, it’s been a pretty blah day. Eric and the kids just came by to drop off some money and they got out of the car to come see Vinh, but www, he’s at daycare. Anh Tuyen is coming by to get some help with his email password. I wanted to take a nap, but I they were coming by and I forgot I have phones today. This photo is from yesterday, I put back, but I wonder if you prefer it on the sink. Anyhow Anh Tuyen is here. ATEN!!

That is where people follow rules and directions because someone complains, but the results end up being worse for the complainer.  I really wished you had taken some time and a breathe before firing off that message. I hope it works out for Vinh, but now I’m concerned it could result in malicious compliance. I don’t appreciate your insinuation that I care more about their feelings than Vinh. If anything, I’m trying to think this through before making any rash actions that I can’t take back, but I don’t have to worry about that since you already sent a message and called out the main caretakers of Vinh. SMH…
