Valentine's day was nice. I took Friday off work to test out of some courses at college. Since H is thinking of leaving that job, my time as a student is limited. I don't want to pay those rates for the degree! Right now, it's free because of where H works. Anyway, I broke off taking tests at noon, and called H on impulse to see if he was free for lunch. I was expecting a no, because it was late - after noon. Usually he has plans locked in by 11:30 or so. He said yes, and stopped right then to meet me for a long lunch - over an hour. It was great fun. H brought home a dozen roses and a box of my favorite mints (I'm dieting, so no chocolate). Saturday we worked on redoing a bathroom, and Sunday the house was filled with people celebrating my nephew's first birthday.
I am still amazed at the turn around, but wonder less and less if it's "real" every day. It is real enough, and there are no certainties in life, so just live each day as it comes. Tomorrow will take care of itself.
