I can buy myself flowers

serafaeryI feel so much better after running around giving away cookies. I gave them to Josh mostly, the rock climbing kids, the circus kids, the guys who cleaned my car, my baristas, and my friends Gregory, and Andrea and Adam.
They are gluten free and vegan and that last batch definitely had too much molasses but what can you do. Just make another batch and gift some more! Muwaaaahahahaa.
I ate a bunch more cookies too oops. So much for trying to restrict calories, today. I'll try again tomorrow.
having some rice and lentils and hemps seeds to balance out the sugar a bit, might watch an episode of Love Between Fairy and Devil. I'm enjoying the dragon character (Shangque) so much.
I'm glad Josh has made a point not to celebrate this day, his idea is that we should love each other enough to show it every day, not to save up and put pressure on some arbitrary day. While I do still wish I had guys in my life who brought me chocolate and flowers, I've had that phase in my life and I'm honestly happier giving than receiving.
Still, would not have said no to flowers and chocolate, haha.
Andrea gave me a belated christmas present that includes a beautiful Frog's Breath Nightmare Before Christmas candle, a pair of Jack and Sally Nightmare before Christmas wine glasses, a holiday coffee pouch, and two adorable wool dryer balls. She spoils me! I am delight.
It's okay that I didn't get chocolate or flowers, I bought myself tulips last week (after my hellish blood draw) and they are still lovely, and we have more chocolate than we need already, all is well.
I am happy, tonight.

Date: 2023-02-15 09:41 am (UTC)DH and I also decided not to celebrate Valentine's Day, because we don't do well with the sense of obligation and the feeling that you're having to measure up to unseen expectations that it brings. And also, as you say, we make a point to be nice to each other all the time :) But there's nothing saying that you can't buy yourself some flowers or a little treat just to make up the difference. I am going to get myself some daffodils today to remind myself that spring is coming, and maybe some licorice, neither of which are traditional Valentines presents but are what I would actually prefer.
