Canadian Politics Today

Home from work today with a bad cold.

My special girl came over last night with a basket full of goodies to help me feel better.  Like, an actual basket.  She must have grabbed just about everything off the shelf in the cold and flu section of the pharmacy.  It was so sweet. I was blown away. 

I gave her flowers last week. She got all emotional, but tried to hide it. She was going to say something but she couldn't and then she turned around and took some stuff out of her cupboard for a minute and turned and hugged me so that I couldn't see the tears in her eyes and wouldn't let go of me until she'd composed herself.   I'm not usually a flower buying person,  but I knew it would mean a lot to her. She'd told me a story about how she and her ex used to fight all the time and then he'd promise to make it up to her and buy her flowers and be a better person, and never actually did buy her flowers (or be a better person either).   Even though flowers are impractical and expensive and a big waste of money, it was worth it to see that reaction from her.
