Alone on Valentine's Day

So, it happened. I'm alone. On Valentines Day. For the first time in 12 years. I'm not really sure how I feel. Trev is stranded in Atlanta because of the weather - he tried his hardest to get home, but all flights were canceled. Our weather is horrible. What a bummer.

My gift is cute - I got a single rose and card. I then went to the store and bought Double Deckers, Flakes, Crunchies, Mars Bars and Cadbury's Creme Eggs. They're piled in the fridge for when he gets home. It's not much, but I hope he likes it.

I love Trevor very much, but over the past year we've not had enough time for ourselves. If we're not working, we're at the gym, or doing chores, or traveling to see the kids, or so tired we're watching TV. I'm hoping 2007 will be a better year than last. It's really not so much the traveling and distance as the hard work it is to get a life outside of work. I make sure I arrange events and even massages etc to be sure we're taking time for ourselves...it just doesn't seem to be good enough. It was fun when Rach visited last weekend - we visited a museum, went to a cool show - it was fun. We should do that when we're on our own rather than wait for guests. I'm making a conscious effort with all our neighbours to socialise - they're a great crew so it'll be fun getting to know them. Maybe I'm just 40 this year and getting a bit depressed - no idea why as I have no regrets, I'm the fittest I've ever been, i love my job, got a great husband, good friends, have enough money to almost do what i want.

I'm really looking forward to my holiday in England. Maybe that'll cheer me up.

Want to know the best news of the evening? Wesley (my massage therapist who left the gym) got hold of me. Yippee!! That has made my night.

Happy Valentine's Day!
