March 2005 Archives

i'm engaged to be married to a great woman.

a few years ago, Eriko gave me a bracelet made of leather. i have worn it
almost every day since then. today, as i was walking to work, i noticed that
i didn't have it on; i then proceeded to daydream about the next time i would
wear it. tonight, i have scoured my home with no luck -- i cannot find it. i
can't remember when i took it off last or whether it fell off. shucks.

i thought this weekend was the ideal for fast and solitude. based on my
schedule, i though it would be the most free. i can't do it, though. it looks
like i'll have to work most of the weekend.
..

i have no complaints, yet i feel irritated. today i start a 3 day fast, and
look forward to some solitude.

What was supposed to take 6 months appears to have taken 2. Now I've got to get my act together to show financial support.

We don't have the visa yet; this is only step 3 out of 13... but this is supposed to be the longest.
