Rainy Valentines day


First off, the weather is romantic. It’s my favorite type of day: soft and rainy. Rained all day, in fact, so I cannot do my gardening tasks. And what do you do on a rainy day but stay inside and sip tea? BUT YOU CAN’T BECAUSE YOU HAVE FOOLISHLY DECIDED TO STRAIGHTEN YOUR TEETH YOU VAIN THING, and you can’t possibly sip a cup of tea all day because the aligners have to be in your mouth 23 hours a day.

Second, last night we watched a romantic movie on Apple, Eternity, about a couple married 60-plus years. The premise allows the woman to choose between commitment and love. Some reviews said “predictable,” but I suspect those people had looked at the running time. Yoh can’t do that with a will-they-won’t-they premise.

Finally, Gary did something to make me love him: the neurologist sent a new prescription for a slow-release version of his medication and Gary has angrily and grudgingly consented to try it. Of course, not immediately, but probably next week. I anticipate he will drop it after the first nightmare or bellyache, but medical miracles happen every day.

  1. I also love soft, rainy days, but I assumed that is a holdover from being from the PNW! I’m impressed that you do as well.

    YAY for Gary! There are often different formulations, so if he is sensitive to either fillers or dyes, it may be worth trying again with a different generic for the same medication.

    (if there’s an unsweetened non-acidic low-tannin [herbal or otherwise] tea, you *can* sip tea with the things in, but I understand if it’s Not Enough!)

Comment, even if you aren't on WordPress. Make up a name. Fine by me.
