Stephanie seems better now. Cheerful, energetic. She made me dance with her.
It was a bit tough, as she was the one who knew the steps and I was the one who could take them without falling. She was having fun, though, that's all that matters.

I got a call from the job office today. Apparently there's a job for me, in some new detective firm. For all I know it could be anything from sorting papers or mopping the floor to catching criminals. Oh, if only they'd let me do that.
My childhood dream jobs used to vary from detective work to being a criminal mastermind. Not that the dreaming ever stopped.
Honestly, I couldn't care less about working. All that effort for basically nothing. But I'll give it a try. Fuck it. If I don't like it, I quit.
(there's a red post-it note with the text "Tomorrow, 9:00, King & Dawson Detective Agency, remember GPS and the suit!" written in big, bold letters)

It would seem that I'm not unemployed anymore. Ten to four, Tuesday to Saturday. Wonderful, keeping me from enjoying a Saturday in peace. And I'm supposed to keep my phone always turned on. Sure, if I remember. Not that I want to.
I'll probably take some days off 'being sick', preferably Saturdays. We don't need the money but Steph doesn't like me just playing shooters all day. Says it's not healthy. Fine, darling, I have a job. Now what?

First day at the job. Not as bad as I'd thought I guess, I have a decent computer and a lot of free time. The boss brought in some wench off the street, saying she has a case for us. Ha, if only. I could just feel the tension.
Or maybe she's his daughter? The guy's pretty old.
But I seriously doubt she's here to hire us. She looks too carefree for that.
The other guys are walking around, moving papers around and trying to peek over my shoulder. Dicks. And the only woman's just on her Facebook playing farmville. Well, you do what you gotta do to pass the time.

Entry 5, 3.4.2024
Steph has been a bit nauseous today, I wonder why.
She just called my eyebrows 'caterpillars'. Oh I'll show her caterpillars.
I should try cooking for her. She refuses to get out of bed as she fears she'll throw up again.
Update
I think the porridge's burnt. Figures. I better buy her something.
Update #2
She seems to enjoy the soup that I bought. I hope she doesn't notice it's not made by me.
Entry 6, 4.4.2024
She was still sick this morning but claims she's all right now.
I checked online for common explanations for nausea since she refuses to go to the doctor's office.
She's eating well so I doubt it's anorexia or bulimia. And it can't be cancer, she went for a check-up four months ago. Pregnancy? Not possible. We've had sex once, the night after our wedding. Neither one of us were really into it so we don't do that anymore.
I'm happy. She seems happy.
You'd think she'd tell me if she wants a kid.
Update
She says it's food poisoning. What a surprise. As if she'd say it's anything else.

Fratelli d'Italia, l'Italia s'è desta,
dell'elmo di Scipio s'è cinta la testa.
I asked her if she wants to travel to Italy to spend her vacation days. I managed to convince her with the "but it's where I spent my childhood" and "it's so beautiful and quaint there" crap.
Hate to admit it but I miss Italy.

(The first few lines of the first page have been torn off, leaving no indication to what might've been written on them)
I guess we'll have to wait and see if it turns into a problem. If it does, at least I get to tell her that I told her so. She hates it but I can't help finding her reaction amusing. I mean, any other woman would give me the silent treatment or even hit me but she just pouts. Honestly, sometimes it feels like I'm married to a middle schooler.

Steph, if you're reading this, please stop. This book has greasy handprints all over, even though I bought it two days ago.
Entry 3, 31.3.2024
I need to prepare a good April Fool's day prank for tomorrow. I considered putting a balloon in a cake or glitter in an envelope but I hate it when she gets upset. Cod liver oil in a popsicle, maybe? I need to think.
Update
I believe I got it. I'll buy a ton of balloons and fill the bathroom with them tonight. It should be harmless enough. Besides, she loves balloons.
Entry 4, 1.4.2024
She got me with the glitter-in-the-envelope trick. Goddamnit. I was glad I made her giggle with the balloons but who thought she could laugh that loud when the glitter blew all over me. Payback incoming, big time.
Update
He who laughs last laughs best. I put small balloons in the cake she made yesterday and she actually fell into it. I guess on some level she expected it.
