lately

so things have been a little off lately. my wife has started talking and hanging out with her ex again and the whole situation is making me uncomfortable. he wants some sort of super intense friendship that is just short of dating and it makes me uneasy.

my gf search has pretty much stopped. i haven’t had much luck in finding women i’m interested much less getting them to talk to me. maybe things will go better tomorrow night since i’m going out for the first time in a while. it’s hard to find a secondary when you’re married and while i get why it’s that way, it is a little frustrating.

i’ve been doing more cooking. last night i made some fried tofu for the first time and if i had seasoned it, it would have come out amazing. i’ve also mastered the art of making damn good fried rice :) so go me. i think next i’m going to work on sweet and sour vegetables.

i turned 28 last week. i feel old sometimes lol. we’re going to San Francisco on sat for the day so that will be a lot of fun. it’ll be nice to get out of town for the weekend.
