Fair enough. Makes sense. I didn't see it that way. "Suck" is no doubt the wrong word but a realistic view is that things should be a lot better. I'll work on that. The V-Day idea though was more about acknowledging to my wife where we're at and doing something different. We haven't made a deal of V-Day before and whilst this year is the worst time to do something about it is also the best time to do something about it, if for no other reason than I've taken action. That part want meant to come off as negative.

I wound up giving my wife her V-Day gifts yesterday. She came into the second living room and wanted to play Wii. We'd been playing Mario Bros and she'd had enough of it. She made mention of wanting a new game. She also mentioned she needed to get a book. I decided that was about as good a timing as any, headed off to our room and came back with a game and a book. I didn't say what they were for and all she asked me was when I bought them but we played the game for a while together.

I have a day off today. I probably won't get much done because I need to up. I'm not used to work movements yet.
