Happy Valentines to all the lovers out there. I think I woke up on the wrong side of bed. Perhaps the expectation that you should be feeling happy on a day like today, or that I woke up and realized that my lover was thousands of kilometres away and I was alone in bed, wide awake at a ridiculous hour this morning that really got me going. Or, the colleague who chattered in my ear incessantly about benign items after he spurned an asinine media availability that I had to be his bitch for. Or, it could be the large amount of people asking stupid questions, perhaps due to being love struck-but unfortunately, not mute at the same time.
There are a few things that make me happy inside today (which unfortunately is not translating to my face, sacre bleu, this may cause some wrinkles if I don’t lighten up).
1. The thought of drinking wine and eating copious amounts of chocolate tonight---not because I need to, because I CAN, because that seems to be acceptable behaviour for Valentines Day.
2. Hot pink lace panties I bought as a V day gift for myself. Peeing is cheerful!
3. The red travel mug my parents got me for V day. It keeps my beverages cold or hot for up to 4 hours. Nerdy, I know, but really really awesome.
4. The Reese heart one of my co workers gave me at 9 am. I would have killed someone if not for the sugar fix.
I know it’s not much, but on a day like today, one must console oneself with the small pleasures in life. The big ones don’t always coincide with a day earmarked for lovers.
