No Valentine’s Day. Oh Please.

 

 

 It is the things in common that make relationships enjoyable, but it is the little differences that make them interesting.

-Todd Ruthman-

 

 

Spent 3 hours at the gym today. What’s up with that?
I’m a spaz and don’t particularly enjoy -shudder- exercise.
I ski well because the boots hold me up and swim well due to buoyancy issues.

Between the full-tilt 45 minutes of cardio exercise, then stretches, a swim and a steam time flew. I do feel much better and have lost another 2 pounds, which was prior to the steam. Hmmm I weigh less now than I did when I got married. That would be the first time.
Of course certain portions of my body have shifted since then so thank the goddess for both underwire brasseries and my fine legs remaining the same through all time.
It was my first time for a steam, I’ve always been a sauna gal. Not any more.

I’ve decided to stage my ultimate demise in a steam room, enveloped in the warm sensuous arms of the wet eucalyptus air.
Heaven.

Now about Hell….Valentines Day is fast approaching. I abhor it and am suffering attacks of melancholy already.

It wouldn’t be Valentine’s Day without several of my blogs reviling this horrific holiday and my own distate and growing depression as the 14th approaches!

Right? Right.

 

 

 

 

 

As per every year past I have no beau for this official day of mourning.

Oh god pierce my dark little heart.

There have been coffee dates, dinner dates, ski dates, due dates and fresh dates over the past year and a half. I have fallen hard for two men but it has not been reciprocated. Except once and that jackass left me for his ex. Men have fallen for me but I have not felt the same towards them.

Typical of the world in all facets.

Please explain the loneliness and wish for a companion which many of us feel.

I’m too old for sport fucking and it’s not satisfying at all. Hell it’s depressing and instills a feeling of self-loathing. So why bother. It’s the companionship, the shared jokes, cuddling against one another at night in bed.

 

So again this year I am unattached. Maybe too peculiar and/or curvey, verbose, dark, facetious, brainy, outspoken, old, silly, picky, neurotic or all the aforementioned.

Maybe because I’m too honest about my thoughts and feelings. God forbid we tell another person how we feel. It’s very bad form you know. You’re supposed to play the fucking game.  Whether writing, in a career or with human interactions. Jesus.

 

I do know one thing: this only contributes to my agitation and increasingly morose demeanor as February 14^th approaches. I Hate Valentine’s Day.

 

 

I’m tired of being all alone every damned V-Day.

There I said it. –hangs head in shame-

Screw the cards and gifts. It’s that vague sense of being rejected that permeates every single woman’s psyche on February 14th.

The truth is out and you’re all privy to the knowledge that my professed dislike is a result of being painfully single on a day designed for people in love.

Well maybe someday things will change right? Perhaps a certain somebody will call me and I’ll have a Valentine this year. Otherwise it’s just me, some bad flicks on DVD, and a lack of See’s chocolate.
–sigh-.
