Things are going well. I'm busy as usual working at Refractions, as well as doing some contract work on the side, but both have fallen into a comfortable cycle. I worked quite a few extra contract hours in the last couple of months (almost double the usual), but that is back to normal now. Asuka's school work has been extra busy lately too, but that will start winding down as exam time will soon be done.
We're planning a little trip to Vancouver when she's done her classes next month. A weekend away from Victoria will be a nice break. She can visit her favourite hair dresser and we can both pick up some new clothes for the summer. In June we should be heading down across the border to either Seattle or Portland for a shortly longer trip. This will be in celebration of our second anniversary, and it will be Asuka's first time in the states. It will be another nice change away from the usual.
I've been getting quite a bit more exercise lately. As work started getting busier, I finally started jogging again. It's been a while since I've been going for regular runs, and it feels great to be doing it again even though my endurance is currently pretty pathetic. I've also started playing squash again with a few different people at my work. In fact, squash has been replacing my runs for the last few weeks since I've been playing it so much. I've got another 2-3 squash games setup for next week. The extra exercise feels great, and definitely helps me from getting stressed out with work.
As my side work has been winding down this week, I've had some extra spare time. So I've been watching various movies that I've been wanting to see for a while. I also watched the whole Firefly TV series and it's movie Serenity. I've been meaning to see these for a while, and it really is a great show. It's too bad that it got cancelled after its first season. It seems all the truly quality shows get axed these days. There are rumours that it might get picked up again, but I'm not very optimistic about it. However, you never really know - I mean they did make a movie based on the show 3 years after it was cancelled, so it's possible. In either case, it would definitely be awesome if that happened.
There is only a couple more weeks until we get this year's first long weekend, and things are moving along nicely. I've got no complaints, although some better spring weather would be nice to see. I'm sure that by the time April arrives, the warm spring weather will be in full effect.
