I'm really tired of people making fiscal decisions with emotional responses instead of responsible responses.

Case in point, we're talking operational or cash flow deficits. It's not necessarily a problem that needs to be addressed immediately. When you're tapping into savings or capital money to cover your day to day operations, it's not a sustainable manner of operating your business or household. Eventually you run out of money.

Last night when we talked about increasing fees to cover the deficit, the discussion centered around, "But people are hurting now, and we shouldn't add to that burden."

While I understand that from a compassionate standpoint, by responsibility as a board member is not about the emotional well being of any of the shareholders or residents, but about the fiscal health of the corporation.

Instead of actually looking at the costs or waiting or not passing a resolution to increase the fees and...

Watching a comedian talk about Brazilian waxing and mentioned this company Pink Cheeks and she suggested to google it as it's a real place. And holy shit! it sure is! It is also in the neighborhood I grew up in. I thought these people were pretentious when I was growing up, but wow...I don't really get the idea of this, especially I can't imagine some girl looking in the mirror at their asshole saying,"Does it look lighter?" Taking a digital photo and comparing.

Dammit.

I got a phone call early this morning letting me know that someone close to the family died the other day. He died in Manila just before Farrah died. It wasn't like I needed to get the phone call so early, but it was really about my aunt calling because she's sad and lonely. She misses her family and friends at times like this.

Last night I had forgotten we had 6:30 reservations for dinner. We planned a special dinner because they had a special menu prepared, 4 courses $85, with wine pairings $115 and you get a tour of the facility and a book of the restaurant with history and recipes.

Skogafoss called me to ask me how long I would be until I got to where she was. I thought she was home. She said I was 15 minutes late to our dinner reservations. I had thought the dinner was next week.

It was a very nice and relaxed dinner. We didn't get the tours of the kitchen and wine cellar, we didn't really bother asking for them.

I didn't have the wine pairings naturally, and we both had steak for our main course. I always enjoy fine dining.

I've been rather busy these past few weeks. I don't really understand it.

It has cut into all my time all over the place. I've been working with little time for lolly gagging. I've been doing extra work outside of the office. I've been building out websites for other people. I've been trying to play with a new group of WoW players in a new guild.

Some of the recent changes:

• I walk to work and home every day except when it rains.
• I have been cooking at home at least twice a week with enough food for 4 days. I don't really know what happens to the other 3, but we don't really go out to dinner as often as we used to.
• I'm bored with life and job at the moment. I'm just passing the time until things change.
