Our Love Story Begins Today

Thanks for cancelling our lunch plans. I ate a hot pocket. It wasn’t bad, but it’s not great either. Vince made other plans already so I couldn’t go with him. This is my therapist. I’m not sure if she not helpful or if therapy isn’t helpful. Anyhow, not sure if I want to continue with her or at all. Fun times. Good thing it’s only costing me time I could be working. WWW!!!

I think today or yesterday is the start of my 20th year with RCRC. Unfortunately, it didn’t bump my time off accrual ability, www. We also celebrated GSFA for 30 year anniversary. My mi danh coworker sure is talking to me a lot. I worry because I can’t be honest with her. TLG!!!

So dramatic. Now we know where Vinh gets that from too. Yes Vinh has hearing issues, but it makes sense because of the infections. You can faint if it doesn’t get better.  You’re not the best mother, but you’re not a bad mother. You do the best you can with your knowledge and ability. That’s more than a lot of mom’s out there. However, we can always do better, so don’t be idle, strive for better. TTQD!!!

Man I was tired this morning, but couldn’t really sleep any longer. Got to work later than desired, but it is what it is today.  I was able to go to business Costco to get some soda water. Got a lot of work done today since I was in the office and can’t really multitask. I really need to iron clothes though, but I have to be back in office Thursday. Anyhow I decided to not download all the daycare pictures anymore. Just the cute or relevant ones. TBCQD!!!

Peter said I need to stay the whole day when I come into the office…SMH cause I only came in today to help out. Because I had so much to do today I was gonna come in tomorrow as my day this week. Also we have an all staff meeting Thursday so I’m actually going into the office a lot this week… Anyhow, Vinh seemed to do well today at school early. So there’s that knowledge for future reference. Didn’t get to see a cremation, but I saw doves fly. ATEN!!!

Man, today has been rough. Not the way I want to start the week, but gonna try to make lemonade out of these lemons, figuratively, not literally the lemons in fridge… Too bad this couldn’t have been today. Ultimately, I hope Vinh gets better and that his ailments don’t have long term consequences. TLG!!!

So here’s the picture. I guess I could have taken a picture from apple mountain, but you’ve seen those. You have any interest in sitting in a cart while I golf? That’s a pretty course to do it. But what do we do with Vinh? Anyhow, I’m happy I’m able to help Vinh sleep, but it does worry me for when I’m not around. Not sure how to train him, but I thought night time was your time with him? TLG!!!

There’s a theme in the manga, Naruto, of bonds. Not the financial ones, but the relationships between people. Like all things in life, there are different types of bonds and different strengths and so forth. Sometimes we get to choose the bond, sometimes we are given the bonds. It’s important to figure out early only which bonds are important and which ones need to be severed. I read an article the other day about how it’s not only important to hire the right people, but also be able to fire people as well. Even if that means swallowing your ego because you hired them. That’s life.

Today I took Tuyen to San Jose, Campbell to be specific. She was talking to me about some aunty drama. And I was like, don’t ask me anything cause I don’t know. I don’t ask because I don’t want to know….Women are so dramatic. Anyhow, it’s nice that I had the flexibility of work to do this and get my wife stuff. Unfortunately, I was not able to make time for Mario. Maybe tomorrow. TLG!!!

The nun is here. So I took her shopping so she can sweat away in the kitchen for the next 2 weeks lol. Hope she enjoys it. 😂  She’s trying to find this “special” Thai flour she brought some from Missouri. It’s expensive online so I wonder if any stores carry it locally. TLG!!!

Vinh’s back in daycare. Wife is back at work. I’m working from home and doing chores/errands. Got a lot done. Only thing I didn’t do that I wanted to was do some more bug treatment for the kitchen corner…Maybe tomorrow. Just an hour left until I gotta pick up Vinny. Hope he’s doing okay. He had his worst morning sleepwise I can recall 😞. TLG!!!

Man was today wompy. I guess I should feel blessed for our raises, but I still think I should have gotten more lol.  The mess wasn’t too bad I hope. I did wipe it with some Clorox wipes. Anyhow, happy Juneteenth!!! ✊🏿. TLG!!!

It would make sense to combine the two since dads and husbands get no loved 😂. Thanks for letting me today. I got 2 birdies, but no one paying today…www This isn’t the picture of the holes I birdied, but it’s a golf hole. I bogeyed this one. Wynn’s son quit after 7 holes and TJ is annoyed that Caleb couldn’t go. Drama. Surprised he spoils his kids so much since he’s so serious about golf etiquette. TLG!!!

I really miss celebrating Not A Father’s Day, but those days are long gone and never coming back. Once a father, always a father. That’s something that can’t be undone.  It sounds morbid, but I feel like it’s not my Father’s Day, but my dad’s. Like it’s not your Mother’s Day while your mom is still around. FFT!!!

I guess I emailed the wrong red light people. They handle Elk Grove Illinois…Wonder how long Vinh will sleep for? I was able to eat and wash 2 bottles.  I’m currently playing beach noise from phone while I blog. Not sure if I’ll have a chance to blog later. Hopefully there will be no more www. I tried to put him in his crib and when I tried to take the bib off he woke up. Then I tried again a few minutes later and he woke up. Fortunately, he still let me put him down on the couch. TLG!!! PS, when you take the bottle out of his mouth when’s he’s still eating, he’ll let you know he isn’t happy…

I spent $143.01 at Costco today. I don’t know if that means that Costco loves me or if I love Costco… Also, I didn’t get a ticket in Nga’s car like I thought according to the red light people. What car was I driving when you think I ran a light? Time sure does fly by when I have to pick up Vinh at daycare. Wonder how it will go tomorrow. TLG!!!

I just realized that I have a friend from high school who has a kid that graduated with Bella. I wonder if they know each other 🤔. Congratulations to us for being financially responsible enough to have the ability to spend money and congratulate others. Also, thanks for following up on Dad’s drugs. Any luck with the crackers? TTQD!!!

Hope you had a good 2nd anniversary. Maybe the video changed it for you. Anyhow, cheers to many more and hopefully better ones. Did you watch the whole thing? So are there multiple videos? Is this what people usually get? I was watching a video about how Father’s Day is the saddest holiday. And it kind of makes sense. I’m not saying that cause I expect gifts or anything, but I do think society tends to  celebrate women and children more than men. TLG, but true!!!

I appreciate the gift of annoyance and sleeping in. And also the poor planning and timing. Yah!!! Hopefully therapy will help. It’s not good for anyone to have many more anniversaries like this. 🙏  

I’m not surprised. You plan a lot of trips. Look, I threw away a brand new ice cream. I’m slowly making progress on tossing things. Soon we’ll have a clean emptier home I hope. It’s kind of annoying that the camera doesn’t record everything. Not sure how the analytics work. TLG!!!

I appreciate that you decided to come to Arnold. When it comes down to it, it’s not always gonna 50/50. Some days it will be 80/20 and others 20/80. But at the end of the day, we have to respect each other.  You know I always try to be fair. That’s why it’s frustrating to me when I see you treat me or my side unfairly. It’s not always the same, but the scenarios are related/similar. TLG!!!

Unless it’s Vinh. 😂. I know you feel bad. That means you care. Now it’s time to move on and be better. I will try to put him in crib, but for me the bed is easiest and I’ve never had a close call.  Will you still love him if he’s not cute? Especially since you damaged him? I’m sure he’ll be okay. He really is a champ. TTQD!!!

Hope you have a good day at work today. I always feel like vacations aren’t really vacations for me, but i hope you get some relaxation in this weekend. Thanks for setting it up. Here’s a blast from the past. I hope I didn’t use this photo already. I got you gas today. You’re welcome. Hope this oil change is done soon. I’ve tired of the dealership and already finished blogging. TLG!!!

This post won’t be about Vinh, even though he interrupted my day. Hope he’s okay. Instead, I’m posting about the driving range with Mario today. Hard to see because of the glare, but this is the game mode for the driving range and it tracks your shot like top golf. He’s been in town all week and I felt bad not golfing with him. It also worked out because he needed a ride to get his car. This is where I’m reminded of the flexibility my job has. TLT!!!

Maybe I don’t feel like burger today, but the burger didn’t taste as good as it has in past, but it was a very nice looking burger.  I forgot to ask the girls if they enjoyed their burgers and fries. They didn’t get any cheese though. ITLs. Glad your lunch was good. There’s pho now I guess if you want that for dinner or other stuff. I still need to prep stuff for trip meal. TLG!!!

She’s got many sides to her story. Boy was she not happy today. Anyhow, you already saw this picture but I captured it after the meltdown. We must always remember that there are many sides to a story. I’m proud to say that I’ve matured and no longer solely focus on the hot or cute side of the story and ignore the other sides. TLG!!!

Not North’s girlfriend. That’s what Tanya called it. Like space and forgiveness and gentleness as we grow. First day of counseling today. It won’t be forever, but we will have to work forever to give each other and ourselves grace. Here’s a picture of Vinh’s feet since you like them so much. TTQD!!!

Same result. Finally got him to fall asleep. Too bad he only slept like 30 minutes. Probably could have been longer, but too much was going on. I really wish we had resources to solve this easier. I’m not asking to not work, but enough money just to be done with it. Just want to close the end of this depressing chapter. TLGFR!!!

It’s funny, you want 36 hours in a day, but you’d probably spend the extra time sleeping, which isn’t bad for you. I’d probably spend the extra time doing errands and chores, which I guess isn’t bad for me. I ordered us some cheapo shoes, but they seem cheaper than expected. Www. Hopefully you enjoy them. ATEN!!!

I tried to go get an oil change for dad. WWW. They’re busy and it’s 4 hour wait. I was fooled because there was no line. I made an appt for next week at 1030 Thursday. I did however pump gas for dad. He asked me to change the utilities to his and moms names. Something about a discount for poor people or something. I couldn’t wait today because someone needs to go to the doctor…I also got mom drugs from Costco, but I think they double prescribed the prednisone. Can I take it? Now I’m waiting at Kaiser for mom’s other drug which I think might be an inhaler. So much more to do. WWW!!! Update, it’s a 30 minute wait at Kaiser…
