Dear Journal~

Ohaiyo!  It's your friend, Michiko Osaka, writing!  Sorry if I haven't been around; been busy working, plus being with my family, even my boyfriend, Kaz, who treats me like a queen.

I've been seeing/dating Kazuhiko Nagasaki since the summer; he's taken me out to several different movies or plays, out to eat, and even dancing.  Now you want to see something, just watch a blind person dance! LOL  That's really a sight for sore eyes!  LOLOLOLOL

My family is well; I am doing good myself.  Still working, taking care of my bills, my personal affairs.  Now that tornado/severe weather season is overwith for another year, I can finally relax.

Well, not relax, per se:  the holidays are staring at me in the face.  Have to get ready for Thanksgiving, then Christmas.  For Thanksgiving, Kaz is taking me out to eat (Golden Corral; they'll be open), and for Christmas, we're going to his folks' house in nearby Brentwood. 

I will finally get to meet his family.  I've met his parents, but not his three sisters and one brother.  They do know all about me:  he's blabbed to them about me.  LOL

I may have to have some more surgery at the beginning of the year:  my right eye has been paining me, and it's gotten a lot worse.  I pray, hope there's not a tumour involved; I don't want to lose my eye!  It's bad enough I'm blind; I don't need to lose an eye, too!  That'd be catastrophic!!

I've been going to my eye doctor's every month, so he could keep a watch on it; he's concerned that there may be something going on.  I hope not!! 

Because of my eye problem, I haven't been working nearly as much; very frustrating.  All I do is hang around the house or go to doctor's appointments; that's been the story of my life lately.  Not very fun; the only good things about my life are my dog, my family, and Kaz (not necessarily in that order!). 

Well, the dog is whining to be let out again; guess he wants to check his "Pee-Mail" again!  I swear, that dog has more mail than I do!!  LOL  I will let you go for now; until later, take care and be blessed in all that you do!

~Love, your friend, Michiko O.  :)

P.S.:  Have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving season, and if I don't write beforehand, let me be among the first to wish you the merriest of Christmases!

~Michiko. :)
