Estoy Nueces

I was back at work today. I felt good from the laryngitis and sinus infection troubles, but I still have a weak voice from the acid reflux and all of those difficulties. So I continue to fight that battle. It was great to be back on the air, though. Lots of great calls and emails that made me feel loved and appreciated. I feel very unloved and unappreciated by the people around me at work so it is nice to get that outside validation.

Valentine's has been a good day. Yesterday we had a big fight which isn't a good thing to do as Valentine's approaches. It was the old argument about spending more time together. Mark thinks we spend plenty of time together and that I have no reason to complain. I can't seem to get across to him that I love him and really like to spend time with him and I would like even more.

Today it had all blown over for the most part and I have beautiful flowers and a sweet necklace and fabulous card of a little house with a picket fence (three-dimensional) with Nathan peeking out the window and Willie in the laundry basket. So cute. And thoughtful. And that is the many I love... cute and thoughtful.

He's at a gig tonight and I'm taking it easy again... and again... and again. I'm tired of being a shut-in, but it is nice to be able to turn down commitments that I am unsure of. There was a cookoff on Saturday that I didn't want to do again. I told them way over a week ahead of time that I couldn't do it because of my health. It was a good thing since I got so sick I couldn't have made it no matter what.

Tomorrow the Dell gurus are supposed to call me between 9 and 12 to discuss my computer options. I wonder how many times I will have to say "Can't do it, it won't power up" before they'll let me send it back to them. I won't buy warranties in the future. If I had just put that money aside in a computer fund it would have gone a long way to just getting me a new one and I could have it already and be filling it up with more stuff to lose in the next crash!
