He Got a Girlfriend

I attended the Dutch class at 9 am. There were only three students, including me. I went to the supermarket and bought yogurt and an apple. After fasting, those foods were very delicious. I finished two bento paintings and took photos of those works. In the evening, I visited the bar My Way. Jeff was there, and I had not seen him for several months. We shook hands. An unfamiliar customer called Tom gave me a drink. He only had non alcoholic Heineken beer. I asked the bartender Mandy why I had not seen Ruud for several weeks. She told me he got a girlfriend and went on a trip or something. I said that it was good news and offered congratulations, but she said no, it was bad news for us because he is a heavy customer and pays well. We were laughing. I simmered leftover fatty salmon fillet with leeks and leftover canned tomato herring with onion. It was still acceptable to eat. I drank too much, but I felt happy. I dove into bed without waiting 90 minutes after eating. Ugh!
