Valentine's Day.

Today is Valentine's Day and this is an old-fashioned card like I used to have as a kid and I remember giving cards to everyone in my class I just gave my friends extra-special cards; the nicest ones, the biggest ones but I gave them to everyone. Things were better then; no one was left out, unlike in highschool where the student council sold roses and guys would buy them for girls they liked and of course I never got any even though every year I'd eagerly wait in hopeful expectation only to always be let down and to painfully watch other girls even get several from multiple admirers so one year I just took things into my own hands and ordered one for myself anonymously and said it was from my Secret Admirer  and everyone was like Ooooh! I wonder who sent it? but I never let on. For once I didn't feel like such a loser. I also sent one to a boy I liked,too. For our first Valentine's Day my hubby also went all-out with stuffed toys and chocolates and festooned the room with balloons and streamers, etc. but only the once I later found out it was typical of what they call Love-Bombing . Now I got an e-mail card and some chocolates. We're also going out tomorrow for dinner as tonight would just be too crowded. I also finished off the over 1 kg of truffles I got 6 weeks ago.

Now there's been something like 5 "unknown flying objects" in 4 days shot down by the military over North American airspace and they're not saying if it was more spy surveillance from China or elsewhere or not( even though that would be the most likely possibility) and now people are starting to panic that maybe it might even be UFO's and some sort of alien invasion but I think it's just more fear-mongering from the authorities and the media, just like it was with COVID; if people are scared they're easier to control, and why do people always also automatically assume if aliens do actually exist and want to contact us that they're bad  and want to harm us? A neighbour also still has his outdoor Christmas lights on and my abdomenal pain is still reaaaallly bad it even kept waking me up during the night  with sharp stabbing pain and it hurts even worse when I walk or sit down as well but of course it's below my bellybutton(likely my colon, probably my Diverticulitis acting-up again) and NOT the part they scanned, and the other night I was staring up at the stars and all of them were  shining a bright white all except for one which was yellow; that was mine; my special star just for me, and the other day I was singing out loud to Bob Marley's Redemption Song  and my mother goes, Who sings that?  and I was so ashamed, so embarrassed; how could she NOT know that( and I can still remember in Jamaica going up to Bob's mausoleum everyone in the van loudly singing along to it and his other songs) and Family Day is this upcoming Monday as well( and Buddy's 17th birthday,too,and I'll give him a steak!) and I wonder if you actually have to spend it with your own family or can you spend it with someone else's family?

Time for me to fly Oh, I've got to set myself free Time for me to fly And that's just how it's got to be I know it hurts to say goodbye But it's time for me to fly.-REO Speedwagon
