This past Thursday, I was looking through my Trollbeads catalog because I wanted Frank to buy me a Trollbead for Valentine’s Day. There was a trunk show that I was attending Friday, so I asked him to pick the ones he liked the most. He picked out two, and I drove to the jewelry store that was having the trunk show on Friday and got a few beads. The trunk show was lots of fun and I met a new person from online and she seemed really nice. He gave me the money for the bead on Saturday.
Today I woke up before him, because the stupid clocks downstairs were clanging away and woke me up. He came downstairs soon after and we watched tv. After a bit I finally turned to him and wished him a Happy Valentine’s Day, with which he answered, “Well?” I told him that he was getting his gift later, which was a dozen deluxe chocolate covered strawberries that I had ordered a few days ago and had to pick up today.
Since he had a big test that he couldn’t miss, and then he had work, I decided to come into work on my day off and work a few hours since my boss asked me if I could help out. It turned out to be nearly 5 hours, which normally I wouldn’t have cared, but it sucked because pretty much every drive through customer today had a stick up their ass. Frank dropped by while I was at work, which was nice, and I gave him his V-Day gift, and he seemed like he appreciated it.
I ended up leaving work very tense and stressed. I was able to finally make it to the chiropractor today and get an adjustment after I got off of work, which I sorely needed to do. I did feel alot calmer afterwards. Then I made a stop at this place where I used to get my eyebrows done, and for $8 it sure beats a) paying $22 at either Benefit or European Wax Center, and b) doing it myself, of which I am a total klutz and end up looking like Kriss Kross. And that made me feel better.
But I can tell that I am still stressed. We talked about going out to eat when he gets off of work, but you know what? I don’t have any more money (I spent my tip $ on the chiropractor and my brows), and I don’t feel like getting dressed up, and I don’t know if I feel like going out to eat whenever he does make it home, which could be between 8:30 to 10. Who knows.
I am sorry to say it, but I am just not feeling Valentine’s Day this year. I probably should not have gone into work today. I don’t think that helped at all.
Sorry to complain, but I guess I am just disappointed in today. I really hated that Frank has been gone all day. I am glad that he made the effort to stop by and see me.
I am going to try to chill and see if I can muster up the gumption to go out and grab a late dinner. I would like to end Valentine’s Day on a positive note.
I think next year I am going to hand out valentine’s to all of my friends… Spread some love and positivity.
