It is now 5:39 in the morning I am staying up this late to keep Susan company while she does laundry. I realize now that I'm going to pay for it tomorrow, but she is worth it. She needs to know that she is appreciated.

Still haven't packed for trip I think I'll do it Monday night. Not sure what to expect because I haven't been in that direction before. I'm getting the feeling that the next 2 weeks will be very significant. I am anxious to meet her sister in Montana. It will be nice to see Susan's interaction with her. Human interaction facinates me.

When we get back I will be looking for a new job I'm getting to the point of just not wanting to go to work anymore. The only reasons I go are the interaction with coworkers and I get paid reasonably well. I've been very stressed about losing my job because of sales being so low at the store. Being the highest paid employee makes me first on the chopping block. My boss has stated he will be looking into the possibility of closing the store after the first of the year. This tells me that things are bad enough to close now.

I will also be looking for a new martial arts school to attend. I'm not sure if I want to study pencak silat again. Maybe something more competitive like tae kwon do. I do like the way aikido flows. Kendo or iaido would be nice because I have an interest in Japanese culture and those to two arts seem steeped in ritual. Or maybe I'll study competition and ritual.

I have picked up the quill and paper again and have continued to write my cookbook. I am hoping to be done with it by September. I want to have 50 recipes in it and I only have 23 so I have some work to do. I think I'll start to go over notes that Jason and I made for a neat little story. The need to create has been unleashed by using this accursed blog.

I told my mom and grandma today that I am engaged. That was fun....

Weddings and funerals are the same thing either way you die.

Thats all for now sorry I rambled Susan just didn't want to comment on the previous post.
