Our Love Story Begins Today

I understand and can respect that. I just think it has a time and place and isn’t applicable to all situations. I guess what it comes down to is our priorities. I don’t see church as something I need to get ready for, but rather something I need to do. I don’t need to be in the right mind space to fix it. It needs to be fixed so I tried to fix it. Unfortunately, we can discuss feelings or beliefs because they’re often not fact based. I do hope that when facts are involved, we don’t have to debate those. I hope you enjoy your movie next week.

Sometimes it’s easy to be like I had a long day, I’m so tired. But you can also think about what you got to do today and why it was so long.  Today I got to golf, have breakfast with my family, see my sister and my niece and God son, work, run errands with my son, see my friends at Costco, do laundry, feed my son, shower him, read him a book, put him to bed, get blown. It’s not possible to do all those things unless it’s a long day. Beats a short day where all I can do is work… 🤔 

The empty inbox didn’t stay empty for so long. However, I’ve done a good job of staying caught up since Lorraine is gone and I’m golfing tomorrow morning. Also got laundry done, vacuumed, and worked. It’s nice to get things done, less to worry about, but it never lasts long. Checking things off a list is satisfying though. Next item, beat Uyen at the weight loss challenge…

I’ve been tired a lot more as of late. I wonder if that means anything. It’s mostly mid day tiredness and it’s not even mahjong related. Anyhow, I’m taking this time to blog since I’m not sleeping.  Also I’m finished with work. I listened to all the videos you recommended and I recall one thing that struck me for us: if you love someone, difficult conversations should bring you closer. Does that mean you don’t love me 🤔?

They had a plate like that at Pho Le. That’s how I felt today when I got my food at Pho Ivy. I recall I didn’t like their bbh and their pho was just okay. I think I’ve always gotten a rice platter when I’ve gone there. I hope you enjoyed it. I forgot to ask. Although, since you were super hungry, your feelings may be biased at the time. Hopefully you don’t regret not getting a drink, but Lorraine made cookies I will share with you. You’re welcome. 😉 

We have a lot of holidays celebrating and remembering dead people. It’s important that we take time to regularly celebrate and remember people who are alive and actually important to us.  Thanks for bowing to me second at church yesterday. Hopefully I’m moving up your rankings. Uyen, Vinh, God…for me. I’m sure God is cool with that ranking. Thanks for entertaining The Rosauros too. Hopefully you’ll get some rest and be able to get up early tomorrow.

Sorry the che was dropped. Sorry that you got dizzy in the water floating thing and that it wasn’t a deal when I bought it. Anyhow, there were positives.  We saw your friends at church. You got good food at church and saw family after. Vinh ate lunch and dinner and pooped. And you got this cool pot set. Life is full of lemons if that’s all we focus on, but we can always make lemonade if we put in the work. 🤔 

Did you enjoy your meal today? I hope you did. I enjoyed my last session of swimming for a month likely. Hopefully Boba Chop wasn’t too much (more than normal) for you. Sorry I didn’t have any photos of the food. Glad it’s a holiday weekend, but we still have so much to do. Sorry the Rosauros are coming. I feel bad, but maybe he should skip the my gym tomorrow…poor Miss Sana would miss him.

Man did a lot of things get done today. I worked before getting Vinh to daycare. Then I took dad to get bloodwork done. His blood pressure is up and foot swollen. Then I got car and noticed the glass, good thing it’s tinted so the glass didn’t get in.  I did laundry. Worked some more. Went to get glass fixed. Need to go to Sam’s club, get gas. And then I can get Vinh. Too bad I can’t get a carwash for the accord. It’s so dirty, but the new glass has to set. Glad it’s a holiday weekend!

Liem and I had a discussion today on the way to the airport. He was very adamant about some biologist he follows online and some dna test he took and how bp isn’t hereditary and we should listen to doctors or medicate. It’s all about our diet. And it got me thinking… …I hope I don’t do that to anyone. Everyone is free to believe and do what they what as long as they’re not hurting anyone. If I’ve ever pressured you to do things you don’t want to do, I’m sorry. 

Guess what I did today?  And other stuff. It’s very convenient that I could work from home today. I’ll go in tomorrow instead. Hopefully this cleans it up. All I washed the cover too. Not sure if we need to wash anything else. I also changed the light bulbs and put the balloon back up (the hook fell). And I worked. Busy, busy 🐝,

I need one. I can’t believe I had to be in an office 9 hours a day for so long. I’m so tired now, but I can’t leave (or shouldn’t leave yet). Such a blessing to be able to work from home. I tried to get enough energy, but I’m so tired right now. Gonna wait until my phone charges to 💯 and then leave. Gotta take Vinh to gym and Costco today. Will need a nap before then. 

It really is a grind or a rat race. But the weekend went so fast this time it was harder to get back, but I made it. It’s not like I had much choice… Someone vacuumed up some string. Www. Anyhow, I’m gonna try to get an early start tomorrow in the office. Glad I was able to vacuum and laundry today. Man, I really don’t know how things would be if I couldn’t work from home…

Guns means muscles too. Hope you had a good time with your friends and their parents. See what I did there 😂. Gym, church, picnic. What a busy way to end the weekend. But we did it. Good job. Only thing missing? 💨 😂. Someday…but not this Sunday. 

Golf was great. The graduation party went well with the exception of Vinh’s fall. I went swimming tonight. Ideal, but tiring, and expensive day.  It’s a good thing we’re not poor. I’m sorry I didn’t make this as pretty or as soon as I had planned. Hopefully they still like it and they can always open and spend it like Anna…

I like to think “God” is fully aware of what’s going on in my life. So I hope when I pray for everyone and everything, hopefully she knows what I’m praying for and I will rely on her infinite wisdom to do the right thing. Not sure if I’m swimming tonight or not (hopefully not), but I am golfing tomorrow and very excited for that. Ready for the weekend. It’s gonna be a busy one…

💨 it’s gone. I can’t wait until retirement. I plan to have more money than I can spend. At least that’s the plan… Please don’t think of this as me complaining or being irresponsible with my money, I’m just sharing my thoughts at the moment. Anyhow, look what I saw at Costco today. 😂 

This song: I wonder if it’s about a breakup or did they die? Anyhow, I found myself getting sad and teary eyed. Ironically, it’s a good feeling. Anyhow, I want you to know that I will always feed you and Vinh whatever you want to eat for as long as I can afford to. So you can eat out all the time if you want. ATEN!!!

Lorraine says that time flies, but it seems pretty slow to me. However, I do agree that it’s important to be present whenever and wherever we might be. If we aren’t, we miss the little things. Sometimes those little things are far more valuable than the big things. If you’re gonna do something do it 💯.

Hopefully. Still got a lot to do, but at least Peter is out of the office for a few days and can’t bother me. Although Meagan is out for a few weeks. Hopefully her not doing anything at work really will mean I won’t have much to cover 😂. What am I? I wonder if this is hard or soft. Anyhow, looks like you’re tired tonight so I guess it’ll be I won’t be able to measure tonight. WWW. Good luck tomorrow with your appts. 🙏 

Vinh and I wanted to give you gifts, but you specifically said you didn’t want any more stuff so hopefully that wasn’t a lie cause all we got you was cards. If it’s a lie, you have to let us know so we can get you something for your birthday or Vinh’s birthday since you like to use our birthdays for yourself 😂. Hope you had a wonderful 3rd (4th?) Mother’s Day.

I was driving home with Wynn the other day from airport and we talked about Minh not going to SC and his wife not going to Tampa Bay. And how if you really want to do something, you can make it happen. I know you don’t want to say it’s about choosing to jot do something, but I think in most (not all cases) we don’t want things enough to make it happen. And that’s okay. It’s not okay to use “I can’t” in those cases is all I’m saying. I was ready to pass out after dropping mom and dad off, but I wanted to play mahjong so I made it happen…

I turned down swimming tonight. I was their 4th player too. Www. I’m at Map’s today. Too bad I already ate dinner. They got some good food today. Sorry no baked goods though. Guess who’s here. I don’t know if you’ve ever met the guy, but he’s part of the reason our family exists. He’s the guy that broke up (or kept) my ex and I separated. Looks like the ex moved on. I wonder if he ever separated from his wife. Anyhow, thanks for letting me out. 

It’s not free cause I have to buy a drink, but I wonder if I can just get a cup of foam? Anyhow, I’m starting to wonder how effective coffee is. I drank this and I was so tired still. I ordered some decaf coffee so I could drink at night. Even though it seems like caffeine may not work, it’s probably better not to consume it unless I need to (in the morning)…

The days and posts are all out of whack. Need to clear this all up. Today was picture day for Vinh and he did good. He also ate well.  I don’t drink or do drugs. I gamble and eat to cope. Cheers, best coconut shake I’ve had in my life so far I think. Maybe Thailand will be better?

I’m sitting here at dad’s doctor’s appointment. It was ar 950A. We got here at 945A. It’s currently 1006A. They finally called him back. Oddly, they said they’d prefer him go back alone and they will have a translator… Anyhow, this experience is a reminder why I think it’s important to respect people’s time. That’s why I don’t like being late to stuff because I hate it when people are late for my stuff. I understand that there are always exceptions, but for almost every other instance, there’s no excuse for being late, besides being selfish and inconsiderate. 😠 

I was listening to this song on my way to work and it made me think about how it’s important to do things while you can because someday you can’t. Like your cousin that passed away young, you probably wished you’d sent her more… Then I listened to a podcast interview with this Vietnamese author and he talked about “Satori” which in Buddhism is a moment of clarity, which is what I had above. Pretty cool huh?

Lots of opportunities for Danh’s family and friends time this weekend. Thanks for participating.  I know you don’t like all of them, but even if their intentions aren’t good, at least the results are. Are you happy I’m back? Did you nho me? 🥰 

You miss me? You’re very sweet so I miss you. I had to go buy something sweet to get me through until I get home. Guess that’s why they call it “Home, Sweet, Home”… I felt bad that Wynn texts me to buy something for his daughter, but I didn’t get it. It’s reminds me of the candy store in Venice. Good stuff. Too bad I won’t have any leftover. Candy is good. I miss it.

The first round was good, but could have been better. The second round is sucking balls, so hopefully it gets better. I chugged a beer, took a shot and drank Jay’s drink. I had to pee a lot. But it’s alcohol, not prostate problems I believe 🙏. Marcus just called me and mom has chest pains. 🙏 Thankfully Nha was there to take mom, but I probably need to get Marcus comfortable with taking her, but he helps her already. Couldn’t be a stress free trip…

I lost track of what day of the week it was. But realizing I’m halfway through with golf, it’s Thursday…As I played the second round today and had dinner I realized that sometimes being responsible or doing the right thing isn’t exciting or fun.  Since I can’t hit anything between 100-150 yards I need to plan to set up my shots to keep me out of that range which is kinda boring. At dinner, I didn’t finish dessert I didn’t like. Wasting food is better than wasting calories. Times flying.
