Happy Valentine's Day!

All I got was a failed text message over the phone with an attachment that wouldn't open. So I messaged back that whatever the message was didn't come through. I always send flowers to her at her office for any occasion, as we have cats, and well, you know what cats usually do to flowers. She always called to thank me and then send a photo via email. She sent the photo with no text. I thought something was wrong with the flowers and responded back to her my concern. BOOM! I am the asshole. How could I say that? Where did that come from? Well...a time before the flowers were very poor and had to call the florist to get them replaced. I assumed this was the case, as I didn't get a thank you, text or via email or phone.

Well I'm in the dog house. I ASSUMED. $100 for flowers down the florists throat for nothing. If I wouldn't have sent flowers, I would still be in the same dog house. But have the $100. At almost 55 years old, I am sick of this shit. NOTHING makes her happy anymore. But it's my fault.

Is there any wonder why I look forward to death? Divorce is to emotional, not to mention expensive.

Here is my usual tactic:

1. Arrange to be in a different country on Feb 14th

2. Get my angry text message in first, along the lines of:

"It's frickin Valentine's Day again but I don't need to conform to some crap imported commercial farce to say that I love you".

3. On return, buy some cheap trinket at the airport on to alleviate any residual animosity.

Maybe it's the morning-after feeling, but I wonder about a nation and its media that makes a lot more noise about a silly commercial-based bullS**t day like Valentine than a celebration of two presidents' birthdays that shaped the culture of this nation. ;)

On the other hand, I'm not going shopping for white goods or a new mattress.
