It's ironic that I'm seeing less of Dan though my primary sources of income are very near where I live. It's nothing really but it feels like my shriveled little heart is going through a grinder when he prefers to be carried by the yaya rather than me.

Inara's advice to a distressed woman in labor pains was: "This is just a moment in time. Step aside and let it happen."

That's right, but it could also hold another meaning. Stand aside long enough and you could miss out on what's important.

Earlier this year I was seriously considering working in the U.S. for a while to earn enough for a house or something else. Looking back now, I'm kind of relieved every one of my prospective employers completely ignored my cover letters. Thinking about it now, I don't believe that I could bear to be away from my family for so long.

It's late and I've been up since three this morning; I can lament on this another day I suppose. And I think I got something caught in my eye. Really.
