For some reason, I was wide awake at 3 AM this morning...instead of tossing and turning I woke up and managed to clean most of the house, study, balance the budget, make campsite reservations for our CA trip and watch part of a BBC miniseries (yeah Netflix Instant Viewing!!) before I would normally wake up. It was actually really fun - until about 12:30. Ariel got me a great Valentine's Day gift, a small box of artisanal chocolate from Bakery Nouveau in Seattle. Yeah for smart husbands!! Then this afternoon, he let me sleep for two hours, even though I woke him up vacuuming at 6 am. I know it involved some self preservation on his part (no one wants to be near me when I have only had three hours of sleep)...but it was still an awesome Valentine's Day Gift. I won't spend too much time gushing (Not the Biggerstaff way), but I am so glad to have Ariel to share my life with, he is really an incredible person.
At lunch time, Ariel and Elias and I went to an Indian Restaurant and then we took Elias to Wind Up Here, our local toy shop to buy Elias this puzzle. I think it says a lot about him that he loves puzzles and he had really outgrown his smaller ones. He spent all afternoon putting together this 100 piece puzzle - and just look at his proud grin!!! For my part of Valentine's Day I made Ariel's dinner request and I am going to attempt to make Chocolate Martinis later.
I am continuing to slog a bit through school -I have to retake one of my midterms. Today I read an article and wasn't suprised to see I had most of the symptoms of mild Seasonal Affective Disorder. I think I am going to make a bit more of an effort to walk outside and see if that helps. Spring cannot come soon enough this time of year!!
