Snail on Mailbox

So, I came home after work to find a snail crawling on my mailbox. I felt pretty lucky. Work continues, and I’m actually having some reassurances that I’m doing an okay job. That’s truly thrilling. Pretty soon some of my work will be visible to the world outside of non-disclosure agreements. Roko has decided that she has no realistic choice but to return to Japan, probably as soon as tickets to Tokyo get cheap after New Year’s Day. We’re both trying to be optimistic about our pretty uncertain future. Yes, we have considered getting married, but we agree that it’s not yet time to do that. Anyway, I hope something good will happen.
