SAD Day and Sick Day + thank yous

[hiddencait]

So I'm not a fan of Valentines Day as I'm pretty sure I've said before. It really does tend to just be a Singles Awareness Day for those of us without a significant other and a day of forced romance for those with a sweetie. Neither is OK with me.

Usually I last through the day without too much blah - I regularly buy myself a bottle of Moscato and some flowers just to say a fond "fuck you" to the day as a whole, but today not so much. Not only was I too broke to do so, but I ended up sick as a dog around 1:30ish.

I'm not sure if I overate at our stupid Valentines potluck or if I had mild food poisoning or if I got tagged with a mild stomach flu. Whichever it is - I feelz like all the shit yall. All of it.

So on top of actually being depressed about it this year (which usually I avoid), I am also feeling like crap physically.

Fuck you very much Feb 14th. Fuck you. Very. Very. Much.

On the other side of it - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the pretty hearts guys. Yall really made me smile each time I saw something pop up in my email. I seem to be too dizzy to figure out how to give them back, but as of tomorrow I'll have a little cash to send out pretties anyway.

Also, if I said I was sending letters to you and nothing has shown up - I have a fairly massive backlog I was going to mail out today. Considering the sickie - that didn't happen. I don't want yall finding out the hard way if I'm actually contagoius. *hugs*

You know, as someone who has a pretty much hate hate relationship with this day, I'm with you. *g*

Sometimes the only thing that makes it bearable - as odd as this will sound - is that one person EVERY year who will come in a a couple of days before Valentine's Day and gives us this gem:

"Oh, Valentine's Day is coming up. When is it?"

We're always thinking, we've had it set since the day after Christmas, but we answer (in this year's case) "It's Tuesday."

"No, what's the date it's on this year?"

"Um, Feb. 14th?" (Just like every other fucking year you MORON!)

And yeah, we do actually get someone saying this every year. It never fails.

Hope you feel better soon. *hugs*

I got your letter! And I thought you should know that it did indeed inspire me to write something. *happy dance*
