I look forward to rejoining the gym soon, a few more weeks and I should be fully recovered from surgery.
I take cooking classes and practice the hobby. I tried a different pie crust recipe afterward and it was great. I had a guest visiting the city and made her baked salmon and brussel sprouts, she loved it. I recently made mango-avocado salad for the first time, that's a really clever mix. I also recently made chocolate-chia seed pudding for the first time, also a clever combination, tastes great and has a terrific consistency.
I'm now keeping up with iZombie, Supergirl, The Originals, and Grey's Anatomy. I recently rewatched The Wire. I've been watching a lot of world war II documentaries in the past year. I watch hockey games sometimes. I do feel like starting a major series soon but I'm not sure what. I hear that "Legion" is good.
I have a job where I research fundamental properties of the Galaxy. I get paid to think. My job is one of well over 100 people applied for. It's funded by private philanthropy so even Trump's budget can't eliminate it. In the past few weeks I've reviewed a major paper on the inner Galaxy, I was approached by multiple people at a nearby conference and was asked to travel to both France and the UK, I'm writing a review paper, a proposal for Hubble Telescope time, and collecting some multi-coloured images of important stars to analyze them.
I managed to get in (finally) with a very talented therapist, and have just started seeing her. She said one of my qualities is that I'm exceptionally considerate. She's very good at her job actually. In our second meeting I almost burst into tears in her office. I don't think anybody's ever had that effect on me, and I've seen a lot of therapists.
But mostly I'm pretty miserable. I want to share my time someone. I want to be able to explore the restaurants I read about in travel guides with someone. I read a list today of the top-24 places to eat at in my city and I have no one to try those restaurants with. I want to have someone to go to national parks with, to take day trips to New York and Washington DC with. But I can't. 100% of women say no. There's always an excuse. Let's be honest, they always have a better-looking guy available.
I went to an orthodontist recently and have 1.5 years of invisalign to look forward to. I've lost 70 lbs and have about 10 more pounds to lose before reaching my dream weight. I lather a complex cocktail of poorly-researched chemicals on my genetically inferior hair every morning. And it probably won't matter. There is always a better looking guy available.
