I can’t say that I wasn’t disappointed, but sometimes things are out of my control and I have to deal with it. Most of my day was pretty good… for a work day. I had an interesting walk to the train station: I don’t think I’ve ever seen a mattress barricade before.
I’m not sure if it was an accident, fell off the back of a ute or left there delibrately, but I did have a little chuckle. Then I realised how dangerous it was. The good Samaritan in me would have stopped and tried to move them off the road, but like – they’re mattresses! I think I would have been strong enough to move them on my own, but I sure as hell wasn’t going to risk it. And, I had a train to catch, so I didn’t really have time to stop. I did notice a couple of cars slow down and the drivers get out, so I’m assuming they moved them because they were gone by the time I walked home.
There was a little bit of talk at work about Valentines Day; mainly around dinner plans… or lack thereof. So,we decided to call it “Pal”intine’s Day instead!
Geddit?!
I never plan anything because I don’t want to be letdown. And it was a good call because I found out yesterday that I would be spending it primarily alone. I did want to go out because I don’t get to dress up very often, and I miss putting in that extra effort to look nice… but, despite no wine and dining, I was very spoilt 🙂 I got my favourite chocolates and a gold necklace chain which I absolutely adore. Not that I am materialistic! But I feel like I judge the card the hardest. Finding the right one can be exhausting! In saying that – he nailed it 🙂
It’s funny and cute at the same time – by far my favourite one!
So, instead of big elaborate plans, we went to our favourite little place and had a quick bite to eat, and that was it. Unfortunately, there was no time to do anything else, but apparently I’ll be going to a nice dinner next week to make up for it. I was sad that the evening ended so early, so I drowned my sorrows in a cookie sundae.
It was the most awkward thing lining up without my SO with all these couples just staring at me. I bet they felt sorry for me. Well, I get it, I mean, I would probably have that thought to if I saw what I thought was a single person. But that didn’t deter me – I wanted dessert!
And it was glorious!
The BEST cookie I have had in a long time. No regrets – it was the best decision of the day.
Then, I watched old movies and cuddled up with my cat for the rest of the night. So yeah, it didn’t go the way that I had planned, but maybe it was for the best? I really hope that next year is different, and I finally get to dress up and go someplace nice 🙂
Much love,
