Two things. 1. I hate health problems. 2. My husband is amazing. Now to go a little more in depth. If you know me well you know I get sick a lot. Well this week was no exception. Yesterday I was so sick! I had been up multiple times the night before, waking up with a terrible stomach ache. I had to prop myself up with pillows to try to sleep because laying down made it worse. So when I woke up I still felt awful, but I had gotten a terrible night's sleep so it was even worse. I trudged to work, however, and just had no energy at all. Thankfully I was able to call in someone to come help me on bouquets, and then one of my other co-workers was able to help so that I could go home, so I only worked about four hours. That was a blessing.
As for my husband being amazing. Yes I know I rave about him all the time, but it's because he deserves it. He is so great to me. He knew I was sick and he knows that I have very long hours for work coming up with Valentine's day. He didn't want me to do anything but rest yesterday, so I did. I sat on the couch for the rest of the day (other than to throw ingredients in the bread maker for dinner). It felt so amazing to just relax. I really needed it and it helped to give me the energy I needed for my nine hour work day today. That is going to be nothing compared to what I will be doing in the next little while though!
I will say it over and over again, I really hate Valentine's Day. There shouldn't have to be a day set aside to show love for your significant other. You should do that every single day. Using it as an excuse to give them a little extra pampering I am okay with. But people who make a huge deal about it, making it one of the only times they ever really do something nice... yuck! And I am grateful for the paycheck it brings me. Being a florist, this is THE busiest time of the year. I am working at a different place this year, and it is even busier than what I did before (if that's even imaginable). I just want it to be over with. I will be--hopefully--working twelve hour days for the next week and a half. And that is straight through. I am working the next two Saturdays and Sundays. Not fun. Valentine's Day is so commercialized it is ridiculous. All I want to do that day is relax at home with my wonderful husband and enjoy our time together. That's all I ever really want to do if I'm being honest. Who doesn't love snuggling up on the couch with the love of their life and watching movies or playing games? Doesn't get much better than that! Well, it will once we have a better couch someday. Ours is SO uncomfortable! haha. Anyway. We are hanging in there and trying to be positive. Wish me luck for the next two weeks!
