Fuck! It’s Valentine’s Day
So far this year we’ve managed to get surprised by our anniversary (”Is it today?” said Mrs.C), Mrs.C’s birthday, and now Valentine’s Day. No flowers, no box of chocolate, no card. I’m quite sure Mrs.C doesn’t have anything for me either.
This is one of the downsides of being an independent. Schedules are less regular. The boundries between work and personal time dissolve and then vanish. It’s hard to remember what day of the week it is. Life becomes a series of small crisises, punctuate by larger ones. Birthdays and anniversaries and holidays get forgotten.
Of course there’s a sweet side too. I’ll make sure to bore you with that too!

Don’t I know it! I feel horrible when I forget what day of the week it is and then realize I missed an important family birthday (like my mother-in-law’s). Now I keep a calender right by my desk.

We did manage to go see a movie tonight – Finding Neverland, which we both enjoyed very much.
