I got the Valentine's Day cold blues

valentine heart

 

So much for well laid plans. My hubby and I were all scheduled to celebrate Valentine's Day at the Portland City Grill, Aaron Meyers & Tim Ellis team up for a Valentines in the Sky event.

Instead, I'm lounging on the couch, my head feels like it looks like the Jack in the Box guys head, and just altogether feeling crappy with this cold. I do blame this on my personal trainer Angie because she was just saying last week how we've been lucky not to have gotten sick...damn her. (ok, not really her fault)

My hubby just e-mailed me and said we might be able to cancel the reservations and get a refund for the nights event..and at $250, this would be a really good thing.

Being married for almost 28 years, I have never really fallen into the "hype" of valentines day. I've long ago requested to stop giving me that box of chocolates, a nice card and dinner out is perfect for me. It is nice to recognize your loved ones on this day, but for me it's really all about the little things you do all through the year that say "I love You".

Through the years, I've never had a "honey do" list. If I just mention in passing that I'd like one of the huge planter pots down on the bottom level, before I know it it's there. Knowing how much I hate picking up those open house signs at the end of my opens...especially when it's raining, I love those times he shows up and says he'll go pick them up for me. To me...all those little gestures are what's important.

So, if we can't get a refund he might be looking for a "fill in" date for the evening......any takers? LOL

I hope you feel better very soon.  Colds are not much fun and the flu is even worse in my mind.  I am with you on the Valentines things.  I think everyday should be Valentines Day, in other words it is how we are to others every day that counts.  I like how your husband takes care of you in so many ways, that is what means something.  My husband helps me put the open signs out and picks them up as well.  What a blessing that is.  I like you, do not need to ask he just does whenever he can.  Get well soon.

Cindy,

Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Hope things turn around quickly for you and you have a happy Valentine's Day anyway. I doubt if anyone could measure up as a fill-in.

What a darling hubby - I'm with you on those open house signs.

Hope you feel better soon. What a bummer that you had to cancel those great plans for tonight.

Hi Deborah, Tis the season for the "ick" going around..was hoping it would pass me up this year. I can't imagine having recent surgery and coughing like I was yesterday...just the thought...ouch.

Hi Mary, Thanks Mary! You're right, it is the everyday things that are really more important that the candy hearts of the one day. Sounds like you have a good guy there as well!

Hi Jill, Funny how so many of us hate putting those signs out. It can be tricky at times in certain locations. Good thing we were able to get our refund as yesterday was my worst so far and there was no way I could have gone out..let alone enjoy the evening. I skipped the flu shot this year...maybe next year I'll remember to get it. Live and learn
