Today was a long day. I was probably more stressed this morning than I had been in a long time. It was the day of the big “visit” thing at work. My role was to lead a group of my superiors around my AOR covering information that they are probably already well aware of. My allotted time was over an hour. Over an hour! I thought I was going to have a heart attack. My previous position required no such presentations. It has been 7 years since I had to be on like that.

But I did it. My boss said I did it well. That made me feel good. Other aspects of the event did not make me feel good. A little unsure actually. But I am still employed. So I guess that’s something. Heh.

On my way home I figured I’d pick up dinner. Richard had been saying that he’s tired of Mexican, but really it’s all I know. I always feel like Mexican… So I stopped for some Mexican takeout near my workplace. As I was leaving the place with my yummy meal in tow I spied a flower shop. I decided to buy my man a rose. No reason. His birthday has passed. Today wasn’t really special. It was just because. I drove home with a smile.

I don’t know what I expected. All I know is that I was very excited for Richard to come home so I could give him the flower. When he finally arrived his reaction totally disappointed me. Like I said, I don’t know what I expected. Did I think he’d tear up? Or fall into my arms in a passionate embrace? Not really. But I thought there’d at least be a moment. You know, a moment.. I got nothing like that. A peck and a thank you. That was all. Then he propped it up in a corner and changed his clothes.

Huh. I think he appreciated the dinner more, even though he’s “tired of Mexican”.

Is it tomorrow yet? I am done with today.
