Stupid Valentine’s Day Cards…

I went several weeks ago and bought my Valentines Day Cards, so it’s not like I waited til the last minute and nothing was left… but I had the hardest time picking out a card for Chase.

We were together this time last year, already, but I just gave him one of my Star Wars kiddie valentine cards I was giving to everybody last year. So this year I had to pick out a proper card… and the selection was dismal. It was as though I only had two choices:

1. Gooey, sentimental cards. Not what I wanted to give him.
2. Sexy cards. Embarrassing! I couldn’t give a card like that.

All the cute, funny cards were for Husband/Wives… I figure I’ll have plenty of valentine’s to give those kind of cards, so I just wanted something cute that said I love you, basically. I finally found something like that, not exactly what I wanted, but it was cute.

So yeah… I’m sick, still. My throat is better and my head isn’t hurting — last night I couldn’t get to sleep, I kept tossing and turning, I was hot then I was cold, and whenever I laid my head down my head hurt. I had already taken a Sudafed before bed but that wasn’t helping my current problems. So I asked Chase where the Tylenol PM was – I figured, that would make me sleep, and help with the headache/eyeache. He said my mom had taken it. So I went and looked in the medicine cabinet, and it wasn’t there. I ended up taking some ibuprofen to kill the headache, but I still couldn’t sleep. Chase went digging around looking for something else for me to take and he found the Tylenol PM, exactly where I had put it a few weeks ago. But I didn’t want to take it after taking all those ibuprofen. So he suggested I take some Nyquil. I went back to the medicine cabinet, and guess what, no Nyquil. Mom had taken the last of it a few days ago, apparently.

FINALLY I completely crashed until around 8, when I heard Chase say, “We’re getting up to exercise in a minute,” and the next thing I knew it was 9:20 and I had to get up for work. So much for exercising.

The exercising we started on Monday – but that’s the only day we’ve done it since I’ve been icky feeling yesterday and today. It was good though! We need to keep at it. I was sore yesterday from it.
