You know you're getting old when you can't tell the difference between dreams and reality anymore. Today I had the strikingly clear memory of my mother buying new glasses. Drinking glasses. I just couldn't for the life of me remember if it was something that actually happened yesterday or if it was something I dreamed last night.

I'm drinking milk from a brand new glass right now.

Work went pretty well today. Lots of little social interactions. I've talked (briefly) with several people about my trip to the Netherlands. And just stuff. It's so nice to be able to talk to people. Even if it's still hard.

I found out that we do have to work the first week of vacation. Which is next week. At least we'll have to work some of the week. We have to lacquer the floor. If we're lucky we might get it done in 2-3 days. I really hope I can get at least a couple of days to relax before going to meet Skye. It'll be a long bus trip.

Mother is being all helpful with packing and such. It's nice. Sometimes it almost feels like she loves me. I should try and work on accepting that sometime.

Where was I? Oh yes, work. We went to the bazar and bought vegetables, like every Tuesday. This is the very nice person we usually buy from. He's great. He gave me a can of cola today. Mmm freebies. The picture isn't very good because I was distracted by the attractive blonde on the left. There should be a law against wearing really low cut shirts. Or wait, no. There should a law FOR it. Oh, I don't know. Legislation is such a complex issue.

Look at the monkey instead. Hehe. He likes bananas. At least I hope that's a banana he has got a grip on...

And that's about it. Want to see the necklace I gave Skye? Here you go:

Isn't it darling? She loves it, that's what matters to me. It's remarkable how nice it is to make other people happy. If only everyone could see that, imagine the world we could make. Shiny happy utopia.

"I have no beef whatsoever"

Someone just said that on Sky News. Haha. Made me smile. Also it made me smile that I typed "Skye News" at first. Silly boy. It's not my fault, she always distracts me too.

I better go to bed. See you.
