I've got a post here about how bummed I was at our Friday being cancelled for the second time in a row. And I was; still am a little. But this afternoon, there were a dozen roses and a satin box of Ghiradelli chocolate delivered to me with the simple note, "I love you" in it. When I called to thank him, he told me how sorry he was that this had happened again, etc. That was so sweet. I mean, I know he ordered them days ago, for VDay, not for this little snafu, but the timing of it was perfect...it gave him an opportunity to tell me how he was feeling about it all, too. So...I guess all is forgiven..... ;-)

I am glad everything is ok now. I know that cancellations are a bummer but its part of the territory. It sucks when you have something planned and it falls through. But every time you have something planned, be aware that it may be cancelled. I try to not get too excited about things til I am actually in his arms. Otherwise the disappointment is hard to handle.

Thanks for the reality check, Mama. You're right, of course. I've gotten so spoiled since moving out on my own. As I've said, I am awfully fortunate in that he and I work together and I live so close to work that we come home during our personal time at the job. And once or twice a week - one of those days *always* being Friday - he'll come over AFTER work, when the clock isn't ticking like normal. It's been this way for months and I've gotten spoiled. Only once before have we had to cancel, that was months ago and it was because I had a sick kid at home.

So, last week was disappointing, but easier to handle because it was such a fluke. This week nearly killed me. I wasn't sure what to expect for lovin' this weekend because surely his g/f has similar expectations to the attention she'll get and I wondered how he'd handle making us both happy in the same day. (He's an older guy and regularly jokes about only being able 'to get it up once a day anymore'. I do know the logistics of taking care of both of our needs can be a bit problematic for him at times.) All along I was assuming Friday would be 'my' valentine's celebration with him, leaving him Saturday to take care of business at home. So when it got cancelled, I was more than a little worried that I'd get the short end of the stick, so to speak, lol. Luckily, no such problem occured today. Not real sure how he's going to handle things at home, but I'm a happy lady!
