My SO didn't contact me on my BD so you know what I did? I sent him a little 'reminder' that it was still my BD for two more hours and that I was sad not to have heard from him. Not my finest moment. And I felt TEN times worse than I did before the offending email (we are long distance)

So I beg of you to not try and do too much, nor for V-Day either. And V-Day [censored] as it's shoved down your throat for weeks beforehand too!! crazy Your resolve sounds FANTASTIC!! I send you good wishes and strength.

Man what a constant mental battle this is... That which doesn't kill us only makes us stronger though right? Thanks again!
