Our Love Story Begins Today

It’s a song. Anyhow. Look at my baby girl: It was either this or your 🩸 underwear. Anyhow, just showing I didn’t marry you for your looks. You’re welcome. I married you for your heart. You’re welcome. Remember that for when you’re feeling unhappy. Hope you get back on track soon. #nomigranes

👏 good job. Good thing I was able to snap a picture before, but I didn’t get to drink much, but then again you probably would have drank most of it had it not gotten dropped anyhow… I’m 0-3 on drinks this weekend…Sorry you couldn’t nap today, but I wish you could find a better way to react. I want to remind you how similar your frustration with Vinh is similar to my frustration with you. The difference is that Vinh is a child and I don’t blow up as often as you do with Vinh. You should give Vinh the grace you get and expect from me (if not more)…

He’s got dimples. Cute kid. So big. Thanks for 💨 even  though you hurt me. This is all the coffee I had today. Not sure if it’s cause I took a short nap and you 💨, but I wasn’t as tired as before. Still wish I had a drink today.  Can try again tomorrow. I could get it from church, but it’s kind of out of the way and we have a lot of food already needing to be finish. Although after tomorrow there won’t be any food to finish and you’ll have to cook food for lunch the next day…

Was it? More like a fail. Couldn’t get a drink. You didn’t like the Thai food. I didn’t get 💨. There’s always tomorrow 🤞. At least I got all my emails cleared. Work and personal. Too bad my texts aren’t all cleared. Peter is gone most of next week and then we’re gone Friday so I gotta keep this cleared…

Of the old pay year. The beginning of a new one is tomorrow. Any raise is better than no raise, but it sucks that it appears everyone got the same amount. That’s why it’s important to know worry about other people’s pocket books or you could end up really bitter… It’s a good thing I gave Vinh some gains to start with. It seems like his portfolio hasn’t gained that much since I began buying more shares for him. Also a good thing he won’t need the money for a while. It’s got time to grow…

I got my review today and we went to Seapot. It wasn’t bad and lunch is a good price. Just an option for you in case you want to try it. Remember when we did reviews of our relationship? Those were good times. Life is much more stressful and complicated now and your vagina doesn’t work anymore. WWW…

Monday threw a real wrench in our week. But it couldn’t be helped. Glad it seems to be okay now 🙏. Glad you had a good procedure today too. Sorry you couldn’t sleep, but that’s for the 💨. A little 💨 goes a long way. I need coffee ☕️…

That’s life. It’s always throwing lemons. We just need to learn to roll with it and make some lemonade with the ones that hit us. Lots of lemonade made today. Hopefully no more for a while because I don’t want diabetes. 🙏 Good luck tomorrow…to everyone. Always keep your battery charged and gas tank full. You never know…

See what I did there? Anyhow, our Uyeniversary was a few weeks ago and guess how many time we’ve been intimate in that time? Twice (and once was supposedly for our anniversary). How many opportunities were there in 10 days? Infinite. I bring these things up because I want you to know how important they are to me in hopes that you can make them important to you too. So the only thing I can conclude after all the times I’ve mentioned it is that you don’t care or care enough. Which is sad for me since I make it a priority for things that are important to you…

But ouch 🤕 . Not sure why either. Thanks for 💨. Sorry about hassling you about driving. This is going to be a teachable moment for me. I’m gonna be more patient and calm and supportive. Gonna need to be better for our future. Team Boba achieves more together ❤️.

So you asked what can you do and I answered. But the other question is why haven’t you done it? It’s not like you didn’t know or don’t know. We also know, but we often ignore because it’s not a priority until it’s too late. Imagine if I only fed Vinh once in a while or when I remembered or when it’s convenient. That wouldn’t be good would it? Instead, I have set times I feed Vinh. I make time to feed him no matter what. Yes, it’s tiring, but it’s important, so I do it. Every day. Every meal. Every nap. Every activity. We all have 24 hours in a day. We choose how we use those hours. It’d be nice if I was part of your 24 hours. Not just on Father’s Day or my birthday… I shared with you my cookie jar belief. That life is like a cookie jar, if people keep taking cookies and not putting any back, eventually there will be no cookies left. And if you keep scraping at the crumbs, the jar is gonna break. How many cookies do you have left in your jar with me? How many cookies do you think I have...

You remember how I used to joke about not being in the top ten of the important people in your life? I think the joke is on me now.  At least my son loves me. I’m pretty sure I’m his number 1. Guess I can’t die yet. 🙏 

Let’s be clear, you’re not the only stress in my life. And it’s not because you’re sTuPiD. I really do hate when you say that. That stresses me out. And seriously, how about finding a way to work on that rather than accepting it? I need 3 things from you. Keep my nuts empty, my stomach full, my mind clear. That’s it. If you could consistently do that, you’d be a stress reliever. Unfortunately, I find myself having to do those thighs myself, on top of everything else, like fixing my dad’s internet. Which I’m okay with, but that’s why I medicate and consume carbs and sugars. Be glad I don’t drink and smoke or do other drugs…

That haven’t really had anything cool lately except the free 10 photo prints. I’ll have to remember to check them out when we travel. They have perks for stuff like hotels and car rentals, but I doubt it’s better than Costco or discount sites. Doesn’t hurt to check though. Did you notice I finally finished vacuuming the master bedroom and stairs? Today is my Friday, but not really cause watching Vinh is work. 🙏 

That would make Mondays (or any day better)…. You’re welcome. Happy every other day! Hope you enjoy. 😉 My drink was okay. I think I’m over my green Thai tea phase cause I can make it at home.

Thanks for the gift and card. I appreciate it. You stressed about money too much. Whatever you’re comfortable with is fine. I can use it to pay for dim sum and replenish my origami lei stash.  If I could ask you for something, it would be to be less self critical about yourself. You’re not stupid or useless. We all make mistakes and just need to find ways to do better. Don’t give up. Keep striving!

Sometimes I see how much you think Vinh is perfect. Then I see you get frustrated and yell at him for not doing something. Your frustration is justified, but the extreme of the reactions are so stark. I wish there was a way you could find a balance. I hate for him to see the negative side of you. This is the new Tesla. See the front lights are different too? I think you saw the back side of it the other day. Anyhow, it’s just a thought. If you could find a balance in your reactions. It’s the same with your response to your family too. Unfortunately for them, they won’t be able to forget. Not sure how long before Vinh won’t be able to forget. He already knows you don’t listen 😂. Come on man.

I know you were tired and hungry, but thanks for joining us at the park. Vinh needed to pee so your toilet was greatly appreciated. It’s too bad he can’t pee standing up. We could have probably gone in the bushes at the park… Although I injured myself and had a lot of traffic, I’m glad I was able to go golfing. Pray that it won’t be a long time that I will have to wait to be able to golf again. Not sure how I could have avoided this injury besides not golfing 😂. Good thing it doesn’t impact anything else so far…

Sorry it’s not a good day. I tried. Anyhow. We made it another year. No one died or was seriously physically injured. That’s a Uyen. I got some work to do before I golf tomorrow. I didn’t take today off. In the future, if you want me to take off a day or do something you need to let me know. In case you didn’t know already, I don’t read minds and I can only know what people tell me…

Dollar short. That’s how it feels like these days. But it could be worse. But it could also be better…I’ll be better.  Anyhow, tomorrow is our Uyeniversary. I’m excited to see what you got me. I’ll be pessimistic so you don’t disappoint me. WWW. 🍻 

I wonder if my phone will die at a rate of 1% per minute while in use. This is in regular mode, not power saving mode. Pretty crazy that it was 💯 at 1140AM.  It’ll help satisfy my battery OCD. Then I can charge it before I go to pick up Vinh. Finished all my chores today. Only thing left is Vinh and dinner and another load of laundry. I think with Vinh swimming I will probably be doing laundry daily. Which is okay cause I only have 1 pair of swim trunks. My “tired” shirt is applicable. I saw a guy with an I hate Mondays shirt at Costco yesterday. Wonder if he only wears it on Mondays…update, battery dies 20% overnight with no activity.

I’ve been feeling gassier lately. I wonder if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. I am making an effort to introduce healthier foods to my diet, but old habits die hard too. This is the leftover strawberry milk with steel cut oats… Wonder if I’ll get diarrhea…better me than Vinh. Maybe you need diarrhea 😂.  Update, it wasn’t very sweet, but edible. I added a little whip cream to it. That was a game changer 😂.

I know you’re fed well so that should help 😂 . Anyhow, I hope you’re doing okay. I know you’re sad about your family that passed away, but hopefully that’s it. SSIS, but at least it was a relatively good day. We found our Vinh likes bacon…

I did it. I finished the lei. I should start on the next one now. Fold the parts. Duc Anh sounds like he’s doing well. Hopefully he finds a good job. Glad to see he still goes to church. 🙏 

I got a stomach ache after I ate my oat concoction. Although I heard food poisoning isn’t immediate, but maybe upset stomach… I threw everything into this one, but no sweetener again. The raspberries were sour, but I have to finish it since Vinh didn’t like them even though it was his idea. I hope he likes the fried rice…

Good luck tomorrow. This is supposed to be overnight oats. I wonder if I can replace this for rice to eat food. I mean it’s just carbs right and it’s not seasoned? We'll see how it goes tomorrow. Looks like quinoa almost. Swim was good today btw. Too bad he has a break tomorrow…

I googled healthy yogurt and healthy oatmeal today. I will buy some later. I even resisted the desserts at work, but I did have xoi. I don’t exercise right now, but eating healthier should be easier (less effort). Update, I also bought some expensive chocolate covered gummy bears. Www. They’re so good. I’ll try to just eat one or two… 🙏 

See what I did there? Today was a good day at the pool. A win is a win. I have to be careful not to get too excited or optimistic about tomorrow. But at least we know what’s possible. Sorry you couldn’t have Korean bbq. Maybe another day. Next week maybe. Good luck tomorrow. 🙏 

It was expected so we can’t be too hard on ourselves or Vinh. We’re all just gonna have to get through it. It’s not like eating or sleeping. It’s 25 mins of water whether he does it fast or slow.  Wonder how many days before he stops screaming? If ever? Bet?

It’d be nice if we only had to do things we want to do when we want to do them, but most of the time, we do things because they need to be done or we have to. While it may not be as nice, we can still be enthusiastic about doing them. Lots of things begin in the mind. If we believe we’re going to enjoy it, we probably will. Kinda the same way people feel about religion. It begins in the mind…
