I've lost my helmet and gloves.

I've been riding my bike, since my car is in need of repairs I can't afford right now. (I got stopped the other day for having both a taillight and a headlight out. I hadn't even been intending to use the car that day...)

I went to (my co-worker) Brian's birthday party last night, at Rasoi in the Mission. Mmm, tasty. Since smoking and riding don't go together, and since I still haven't yet quit, when I got home I wound up sitting on the front stoop smoking a cig before I went in. I put my helmet down on the steps.

This morning when I went to leave the house, it wasn't where it normally is. I searched around, but can't find it.

Thinking back, I don't remember picking it up. My money is on the fact that someone else does. Quite profitable for them, no doubt.

But now I need to cough up hundreds of dollars (which I can't really afford right now...) to replace my helmet and gloves, and I only have my own stupidity to blame.

sigh.

So it's been years since I've posted anything resembling a journal here, but the new year seems an auspicious time to resume writing a journal. So first off, let me say

Happy New Year!



A time to look forward perhaps, though what I have to look forward to seems at the moment to be a lot of work; Life is going to get crazy at work for a while, since we have dealing with another company that's going to involve a lot of all-hands-on-deck focus to pull off. But also, I have a lot to do to get me life in order - it looks increasingly likely, perhaps bordering on foregone, that I'll have to leave the country in May when my visa expires - and there's a lot to be done before then. As a random example, there's still a pile of boxes in my office that I haven't unpacked since I moved last spring...

But right at the moment, I'm mostly looking back still. There were many things I'd intended to get done last year that fell by the wayside. Getting back in touch with friends is the one whose dearth I most regret.

[info]sfbrandyn, my wonderful preoccupation of the last six months, and I broke up a couple of days ago. While it's probably for the best, I still have a knot of emotions sizzling away inside grieving for the loss of possible futures.

Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would do

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.

Those were the days, indeed. Thank you, Pup

In the meantime, I'm hatching plans for the new year. A time of introspection. Evil V2.0 is in development... Stay tuned for more, I'm sure.


To all my friends, I'm sorry I've been away. You've been missed. Drop me a line and let's catch up.

with love and best wishes to all in the new year,

otter
