An emotionally charged day.

I was so busy

Making sure that Mom was ok

With her first valentines

(In 65? Years)

Without dad...

That I did not see my own 

Memories until after

They had succeeded in kicking

Me in the butt and bringing me down.

Today I did however:

Get mine AND mom's groceries

Flowers for mom

(And delivered)

Beer store

Gas station

Banking

Post office 

and then home

Where I managed to locate

A letter I forgot to mail.

So I went for a fresh air walk.

I dropped the envelope in the mail,

Bought myself a Klondike bar

And walked the long way home

Enjoying the sun and my ice cream.

John has been home late 

Every morning this week,

So he is suffering

From acute i-need-sleep-itis

Which he diagnosed himself with

after trying to get up at 5.

That was the same time,

My oldest nephew sent me a link

For a stuffed chicken recipe

I NEED to try... so much so,

That I drove to the grocery store again

To get everything I needed!

Home again,

My melancholy mood took over

So I decided not to fight it.

Put on some pjs,

Grabbed some cookies

And found a movie!

When John got up at 7

He asks "so what do you want for v day?"

***So romantic my hubby is.

I had nothing to tell him either!!!

So he says "what if I just take you out

For breakfast on Sunday?"

I reply "umm nothing is open and i

Don't think...."

He cuts me off with "oh, I mean just

Through a drive thru or something."

Yup. He's mine.

Nope you can't have him.

He's all mine.

We went in the kitchen

And whipped up a yummy dinner

Of sesame chicken cous cous

And spring rolls!

No leftovers or samples - sorry.

John is off for his last shift 

Of the week,

I have the house straightened,

I JUST finished posting for

Tomorrow's craft event, 

So it's time for some sleep...

So I can play tomorrow!

Good night from John Street
