This Valentine’s week, I did not get bought flowers from the store. Instead, hubby installed a bidet for our first floor toilet. That was an easy install.
But for the real flowers that I got, he sweated for days. Days, as he had to custom craft the parts and went to the hardware store three times to purchase screws, exchanged them and more. Why? He wanted to fix a vintage moen shower valve. Three days after, no more leaky valves.
Then, he drove us to The Forum to get our second doses of #CoronaVirus vaccines. It was so organized, no unnecessary waits, and we got done in 50 minutes, which included a wait time after of 25 minutes for side effects. Hubby drove the van, which allowed us to go to Lane 1 and skipped lots of waiting like the cars in 12 lanes. Imagine that – it prepared us later for waiting to get our food.
After, I had cravings for fried chicken, the Roscoe’s kind, and we joked with the traffic officer at the Forum as to what to order. What else but the #obamaspecial, in a chorus, and more wings as they give you barely enough to satisfy a craving until the next?
We waited 45 minutes, after I placed an online order through grubhub. After enjoying Dr. Fauci’s interview on a podcast, it was time to get my order. Lines snaked about 12 folks, distancing w/ masks. I felt safe.
“Order #711”
“Ma’am, you are at the wrong location. You need to go to Main Street and Manchester. ”
That was 7 miles away.
Patient hubby pointed to a Charlie’s shack and said, “There we can get our order from.” I laughed.When we got home, my favorite beautiful daughter was waiting to give us #homemadebriocheadobobuns. Yummy! Honestly, I would sell this for her. The buttery buns complimented with the savory adobo and she put in a hefty filling inside.
Not quite done with chores, I asked hubby to help me clean the portapottie in our van, as our favorite handsome son is borrowing it.
I saw my niece’s bouquet of roses and showed it to hubby.
He cleverly said, “I can get those flowers, you know.” I interrupted him to say, “Oh no, I love the flowers I got from you: the bidet, the fixed shower valve, and the help in cleaning the portapottie.”
Happy Covid 19-vaccinated Valentine’s day to you all! I feel the love of my hubby, my two children, my friends and absolutely nothing to ask for.
Vaccine is life! I am most grateful to our two children who made the appointments for us from an earlier rollout of the vaccine appointments, using a user-unfriendly website. I then passed on the information to relatives, neighbors and friends. #weareinthistogether
Thank you Pope Francis for today’s mass for the World’s Day for the Poor – “We are all beggars for God’s love,” he said.
Thank you Lord for another day to breathe. I look forward to travelling to Mt. Fuji in 2022.
