I've slept badly the past couple of nights, in the fun ebb and flow of my anxieties. I think I might be gritting my teeth, but I'm not sure, but it would explain some of the headache-y feelings, I suppose.
I had a dream last night and
it was just...really frustrating. It involved a guy I used to know/have a thing with and we were in a hotel for a convention, and were were going to have sex, but for some reason he couldn't - like a rash or something? - and so he used a toy, only I couldn't get off, but he left it in and then we had to leave the hotel and then my in-laws and kids were there and WOW. I don't even want to know what that dream means.
This morning I woke up to valentines from the kidlets and one from the hubby and Andes mints from the in-laws. This afternoon is the party and there will be 24 5-7 year olds on sugar highs. Excellent! Of course, I will also have a sugar high, so I'm not going to complain.
So, Valentine's Day gets a bad rap because Hallmark and the other card companies all cater it to the one traditional meaning of love - a boy and a girl who want to be together forever and live happily ever after. Whatever. Love is something you can give everyone in different ways and degrees and measures, no matter their sex, their sexual orientation, your sexual orientation, who, where, how, when, or why they are. And, to be honest, I kind of love all of you a lot, so, as stolen from
sansets, leave a comment and I will tell you something that I love about you and/or why I'm so glad I have the privilege of knowing you.
