My mom came to stay with us for a couple of days. She left yesterday morning and I miss her already. But we have plans in place now, and I feel like I'm actually going to be able to get somewhere, which is cool.
We spent a lot of time just venting about all the crap that my dad and my sister have put us through, rolling our eyes at my sister's "wedding" plans, talking out our wedding plans, and eating loads of really good food.
She gave me some money, partly to pay for a therapist, and partly to spoil myself. I'm working on finding the therapist, but I've already done the spoiling myself bit.
I got 6 books, some skincare products, a Sims3 EP, Bruno Mars' first album, and Pitch Perfect, the Les Mis movie, and the Les Mis stage production on DVD. Oh, and some socks, because I have huge feet and can never find socks that fit me.
I also got FI some stuff because we didn't exchange anniversary or Valentines gifts because neither of us could think of anything we wanted. I got him DVDs of Tron Legacy and Steve Coogan, loads of chocolates and some other stuff I can't quite think of right now. He got me The Vampire Tarot, a bottle of the sparkling wine he gave me on our first official date which was Valentines 2012, and some earrings. I used to read Tarot in high school, now I just collect decks because I think they're beautiful.
Now I'm lying in bed, dosed to the eyeballs with Flusin, paracetemol, and antihistamines, because my sinuses have decided to go on strike and my internal organs keep trying to make a break for it. Work's going to be fun today! I'm not putting too much effort in though, because a) I've already resigned, they can't fire me without having to pay me for the full salary period, and b) I wasn't going to get a reference from them anyway so I'm not worried about them giving me a bad one.
So, how are you ladies this lovely (insert appropriate time of day here)? What did you do with/on/for your Valentines weekends?
