Our Love Story Begins Today

+ ❤️ good job. You earned it. You did good this week without me. I’m glad I (work) was able to get you good food. I’m sorry it wasn’t what you expected. Maybe May May will be better 🙏. If not, we can try it again the next day. And the next. And maybe the next. Glad to done traveling even though I get paid and mileage. 😘 

Sometimes the principles aren’t worth it, sometimes they are. I wish that wasn’t the case, but it is for me. But ultimately I think it boils down to the effort and the result. Being right isn’t always worth it.  I could “principle” get my meals reimbursed, but this is likely the only one I do because it’s too much work to go out to eat before or after the meeting. Just want to get home to my family. Is it right? No, but it’s right for me. DLLD…

What does this remind you off? It reminded me of the hotel/motel we stayed at during our trip to the Grand Canyon. Still can’t believe you wanted to get 2 rooms and you bring your own sheets and want to put remotes in ziplock bags. What a first impression. Good thing for you I looked past that 😆.

Thanks for taking care of Vinh while I’m gone. It’ll be good for you two to develop a deeper relationship.  I put Vinh on the big screen and people went “aww”. I meant to use the screenshot do you guys arguing but it didn’t save. Also you can’t tell but here’s the screen size:

How funny that after I made that post yesterday, we heard the sermon on the way home from LA. I was gonna start a discussion about the post, but I decided not to… Anyhow, God says I have to keep on getting taken advantage by you. I will be judged by my actions. Hopefully you also heard that you need to be good to me, even if you see me as an enemy, cause you will be judged by that. Good luck to us. 

I remember someone wrote that if you fill your partner's heart with love and it overflows, everything that spills out will be yours. That’s what I’ve tried to live by in our relationship, but it seems like your heart is either unfillable or that overflow is going to someone or something else.  Tonight I couldn’t find my retainer. I’ve gotten used to you not giving it to me anymore, but to not even put it out? That stings. I drove you around to get all the stuff you wanted tried to save you time, but no time to was left for me. I recently heard someone say that in a relationship, a man begins by treating his partner how he wants to be treated and ends up treating her how she treats him. I’m not sure I’m close to that point yet, but I do find myself thinking what do you do for me? That comment today about wishing I was your brother so you didn’t have to pay for anything kind of let me see how you feel about me.  You’ve done a pretty decent job of not bringing up how I spend my m...

We continued the goodbyes today and will have the rest tomorrow. Such a busy day. Sorry I wasted 10 minutes going to the wrong hotel.    At least you continued to enjoy good food today. I didn’t really enjoy much except the gummies Alex got me. Wishing him and Anna good luck. 🍀 

I haven’t mentioned it in a while because it hasn’t come up as much or maybe I’ve let it go more, but it’s not to say it doesn’t still exist. If you say that’s I’m wrong about the rankings, you have to back it up with actions. If I’m missing your actions, please let me know. Otherwise, if you’re gonna keep pissing on me, stop telling me it’s rain. I know better and it only adds injury to insult. God said our bond is more important than all others, I wish you’d treat it as suck. DLLC 🙏 

That’s 2 more hearts than the main character in Legend of Zelda gets to start the game. But she gets extra lives when she dies. She also can earn more heart capacity when she gains experience. (Sorry photo is so far away) I’m decided to try that with our relationship. You won’t get extra lives, but you will get chances to earn more heart capacity and refill damaged hearts. Good luck!!!

Orange County used to be full of orange groves. Another day of good food. Helps to make everything else feel less bad. Sucks that Janet got her finger cut. I didn’t post the photo. You’re welcome. I feel bad that we couldn’t get Tao his drugs. Hopefully someone else will be able to for him. Or if you feel like it, we can take another trip down. 🙏 

Did you have fun today? Even if you didn’t, at least hoj enjoyed the food. Sorry it was so expensive. I’m assuming you don’t need a picture because I sent it to you already from when I ate there. At least you got your least favorite part out of the way? Tomorrow should be an easier day. 🙏 

Welcome to the SGV (San Gabriel Valley). Hope you’re enjoying your family. Today was a long day, but hopefully we’ll sleep well tonight and be rested for a tiring day tomorrow. Times gonna fly, so make the most of it. So don’t spend too much time arguing or stressing. That will take up time you could be having fun. DLLA 😆 

Hope you had a good time today. I know it’s a lot of stimulation for you. You’re gonna need your energy and patience for the upcoming week so don’t use it all today. Safe travels and good luck to us. DLLC 🙏 

You always yell at Vinh. But he’s a kid. You’re an adult. Yes he can do better, but so can you. You used to complain about Trang and Nick and yet here we are…If you can be annoyed at Vinh, you should understand my frustration with you.  The difference is that your mental capacity is fully developed and you should know and do better. It’s frustrating that you say you want to annoy me less, making it out to be about my response when it should be about your actions. You should say you want be better. If you want to use annoying, you should work on being less annoying in general. Anyone would be annoyed if they had to deal with your behavior…not just me. PS, I didn’t want any drink, but it’s customary and polite to ask. Rude…

Not sure who made it up, but here we are. Only difference is now Vinh is number 1 in this house for your love. That’s okay. It’s no big deal. You’re still number 1 in my heart…hopefully I don’t slip to number 11 in this house… 🙏 

But it’s not. Although it’s nice to have another day to work. Want to make sure as many loose ends are tied Jo as possible before leaving for our trip. Vinh wanted to take a picture, but then he wouldn’t smile so this is the best I could do. So much to do before we leave for LA. LA schedule looks packed too. Hopefully we can relax. Sadly, I can’t remember the last relaxing vacation,,,

My last piece of candy is currently waiting for me in the garbage. Vinh busted into the room twice while I tried to finish it. I also needed to post and wash up.  I couldn’t even enjoy it. Anyhow, I’m gonna finish up this blog and then go wash up. I hope we’re pregnant. Also hope you still blow tonight. Double 🙏.

Probably can’t change it now, but if I reincarnate maybe that means I’m meant to be a Buddhist 🧘‍♀️. I recall studying Buddhism when I was in high school and the thing that always sticks with me now is that life is suffering. Desire is the root of suffering. We have to get rid of desire to achieve nirvana.  Now I need to find meaning in the suffering. Not sure how it’s possible to get rid of desire. And here I thought that the meaning of life was to be happy. It seems like the pursuit of happiness has only brought disappointment and suffering. Is becoming a monk the only way out? Or becoming  priest?

Vinh is definitely one of God’s. I hope Vinh learns to embrace his gifts. I hope he keeps his love for God. I don’t know what his plans are, but I hope Vinh is able to do good works for the world. He’s definitely not short on love or energy. May he use that for good and stop stressing out his parents. 🙏 

This morning, the humidifier was on, toiler room light on and wet towels in the bathtub. Please try to remember to turn off the humidifier when you wake up. Leaving wet towels in the bathtub is unhygienic. Turn off lights when you leave the room. Please be more patient with Vinh. He’s just a child. A lot of the things that frustrate you about Vinh are the same things you do to me and I get frustrated. Please try not to be so hypocritical. Thanks. 

Not sure what to blog about today. I appreciate that you feed and take care of Vinh when you’re not working or sleeping. I know it’s a lot of work, but I appreciate it. Vinh does too since he doesn’t see you much. I tried to get you singing, but didn’t in time. Enjoy it while you can. I probably won’t miss this, but I know you will….

It’s been an up and down week. But better ended than it started, except for Lia’s dad 🙏. Thanks for taking care of Vinh while I swim today. Not sure when or where yet, but supposedly we’re playing.  Hope Vinh doesn’t hold it against us if he doesn’t get his baby sister. I also hope he’s okay long term either way. Still waiting for confirmation of swim location and time, but making sure I don’t forget to blog.

I don’t like when you call yourself stupid. Whether you’re overreacting or you think saying that makes me less annoyed, it doesn’t. Yes, you mess up and you make mistakes, but it doesn’t make you stupid.  You’ve called our son stupid. I know what you meant, but he and others may not. So try to stop doing that. Try to start being and doing better. 🙏 

Today was a good day. I can’t remember the last time I feel any semblance of peace like today. It could have been a great day, but it’s only 03:40 PM, so there’s time for improvement (hopefully not regression). Thanks for being part of my day. Hope you were able to recharge today. Wasn’t sure how the day was gonna go for you when I heard you taking Vinh to work. 🙏  that your day is/was good. Everyday.

There are plenty of reasons for divorce. I think I’ve heard the number one reason is money. I don’t plan on getting divorced, but if we do, I don’t want it to be over money. I appreciate that you worry about it. It’s not that I don’t worry about it (I do), but rather that we worry and see it differently. I try to balance enjoying today with the future. I’m different because I have a pension. It’s not that I’m being irresponsible. I hope you see that and appreciate, but not take advantage of. 🙏 

Today was a great episode of the podcast. I recommend you listen to it. If you don’t read this in time, it’s the one called NO HARD FEELINGS. When we stop growing is when we start dying. I wanted to buy you something like this for Valentine's Day, but you told me not to buy any more gifts for you. WWW…

We had a birthday party for Riley and Ethan today. They were very cute. Vinh isn’t cute at the moment cause he’s not sleeping. Hopefully he sleeps soon, but he needs to learn to sleep without me when I’m home and have to do stuff. He didn’t pee the first time we went to the potty. Not sure if he’s gonna pee now…Maybe he slept too long. I hate Mondays and Wednesdays. 😂 

Today we went to San Jose. At this point it’s safe to say that we will always leave San Jose later than planned and I won’t be able to swim when I get back. WWW Glad you had a good time and Vinh didn’t have an accident. Now that we know about it, we can plan better if we go back next year.🧧
