August quickie.

Just a quick update.

I had my last day of work last Friday. I felt the need to have the entire month to prepare myself and the house for school. Also, I didn't want to have to figure out how to take more time off work for my surgery.

Work has been picking up for Yubo a bit, and he's been gracious enough to allow me this time off instead of sticking to my original plan of leaving my job in September with just two weeks of down time.

We're both actually very excited for my surgery. I already have little boosts of confidence at the thought of having all this excess weight gone.

And although I'm scared, I am looking forward to knocking out my final two quarters of school. I just want to be done with it already.

Nothing big has happened within our relationship. It's been the same ups and downs. For the most part, I think we've gotten used to handling them. Honestly, I don't want this to be our norm, but I wonder if that's just the way it is.

I'd really like to start attending those Weekend to Remember things. They sound fun and enlightening. It's also inspiring to hear stories of how the seminars have saved marriages. Of course, we don't need saving, but I think we could definitely use some improvement. ^_~

Visits back down to Cali are up in the air. Wondering if my sister still wants me to go down to take care of the store for her so she can have a break.

Chiyo and Tifa are still fighting, but closing off the bedroom seems to have curbed that A LOT. Also, since we closed off the bedroom, Chiyo hasn't been peeing on the tiles out of fear from Ellie. And closing off the bedroom has led to all three of them simply wanting more attention from us and mostly ignoring each other; thus, the decrease in fighting. Feels like we're getting closer to a happy home.
