Life, work, and Thanksgiving

Well, it’s the end of the work night for me. I had to work my butt off last month. But the intensity of the job doesn't seem to get less. However, I like my job, so no complaints.
On Thanksgiving, I ate a couple of pizzas. I called my family and friends and found out how they were doing.
Lately, I finally have made some friends here in Hawaii. Well, maybe I should say I have met some people more than once, so they have become slightly better than acquaintances. It’s hard to make good friends. As I get older I don’t know if I get colder or just don’t feel like opening up to people.
But I have my friends and it seems hard enough just to maintain those good relationships let alone make lots of new ones.
I have lost a lot of weight since coming to Hawaii. But I don't think its because of anything unhealthy, I think its because I play more racquetball. Racquetball is one sport I can play for hours and sweat like crazy and still love it and not want to stop. I usually finally stop from just pure exhaustion. I have lost about 10 pounds since I came to Hawaii.
One thing that bothers me is that I have stopped working on the website like I used to. Before I would work hours and days on the website, but nowadays, I hardly do anything at all for it. The biggest reason is I don't have the Internet at my house. I only use it at work, and that limits the time I have to update the website. But I think once I get Internet in my home, I will write more. Also, I have some big changes in mind for my journal, a way I can write directly onto it online rather than having to download the file, write, and then upload it again. Also, I have been inspired by my friend Jason's short-stories, I decided I want to write some short stories for fun.
