It's a pity I simply cannot react to  positive words from a young woman.
I thought this might mean something very important but my mental weakness
soon made me shrink. I merely answered her as if it were an exchange of
season's greetings. Result was disastrous!
By the way, Miki seems to have left me finally. I was expecting this for some time.
It's good for both of us, perhaps. Only problem is that I need to start cleaning my
house seriously from now on.
Anyway, I successfully conducted my annual fireworks viewing party on August 5
without her. Actually I was surprised with my own cleaning ability. (August 10, 2006)
