Thankful

I spent a lot of time by myself both yesterday and today. Other than myself, there were Dave and Jose, whom I am truly thankful for everyday. They came to help me set up a computer, fix my bathroom heater, keep me company, and of course, have great food. Yesterday we had Lu's Garden, which just changed their name to House of Fragrant. The porridge was just what we needed in colder days like this, and it was comforting to share it with dear friends. Today they visited again to fix my heater and also had dinner. We also replaced my toilet seat - FUN! Later we went to Nguyen Hoang for Vietnamese food. Their spring rolls were disappointingly thin and dried. The noodle dishes tasted the best. We really liked their vegetarian selections, however, I could do without the MSG. My tongue felt funny afterwards.

The big holiday weekend had come and left. I can't say I did much except for cleaning my place a bit. I still feel relaxed for the most part. Let's wait and see how things develop the next few weeks. Wow the year is almost over.
