1 of 365/2- Dang, I think I ruined Valentine's Day

            That leftover Halloween blood sure is coming in handy for me. 

Its not that I hate Valentine's Day, but all the single people lament being alone and all the attached people are damn near giddy about it. Me, I'm attached, yet get nothing to be giddy about. Romance hasn't lived in this house for far too long. And its not from lack of my trying. The disabled guy shows no emotion and if he does, it is usually an inappropriate one (such as laughing when he's sad or lashing out angrily when he's worried). And no, I'm not misinterpreting an inappropriate attempt at romance. He dislikes it. Since the stroke, anyway. 

I let him off the hook this year. I'm tired of the lame cards that don't hold a real emotion from him. He scrawls his name, but he doesn't mean the words preprinted in the glitter-strewn cardboard.  He says he loves me, but only if I prod him by asking. And for some reason, asking if he does sort of sucks the romance out of it.

But at the moment, I wish I had picked up some candy for myself. Or even some flowers so I could take some new flower macros.
