As I mentioned, Richard had inventory at work this weekend. He is exhausted. I get that. So I tried to make the whole weekend a little special. Today I topped things off with a card and matching sleep bottoms. This after the dinner out Saturday, and my home cooked meal and fancy dessert on Sunday. You know, trying to make it special. He’s basically been tired and kinda cranky but I was fine with that. Inventory sucks…
Tonight he got us a pizza for dinner. That was nice. Perfect actually. But, umm. Huh. This’ll seem selfish but realize it’s been a flower delivery or an amazingly romantic card for the last seven years (except last year, but he was like… bedridden). There’s not even a card. I know. I am selfish. At least he’s here with me, even if there is no card.
I’m sorry to hear that, Daniel. I was a little disappointed, myself. I, too, have been spoiled since the beginning of our relationship. But we have to learn to take the good with the bad, and it sounds like both our guys are up to their eyeballs in work and frustrations. Next year will be better, right? We’ll just keep telling each other that.

Posted by Amy on 02/15 at 09:58 AMI agree with Amy. It doesn’t need to be Valentine’s Day to feel the love and get a card. When life has calmed down and he’s in better spirits, celebrate at that time.
Posted by Linda on 02/15 at 11:11 AMYeah, no card for me this year either, though he did feel guilty enough to at least go get me some Godiva chocolate dipped strawberries!

This was my first V-Day as an attached person, and I told her that I wasn’t too keen on it, given some of our recent history and the fact that I’m an uncreative gift-giver and the fact that this is totally a Hallmark Holiday. All I wanted was to spend a nice day with her, and we did that on Sunday. I sort of figured that was it. I was proud of myself for even remembering to get a card. Now I’ve been assigned a do-over.
