Today was a simple day. We didn’t do anything special.

Last night, we thought about going out for lunch on Valentine’s Day, but we decided not to do anything special. It was funny because we ended up having lunch at the food court at a shopping mall in our neighborhood. There is a snack that I wanted to have so bad, and the shop is located at the mall, so we went there. Can you imagine doing that on Valentine’s Day? But my husband and I have been together for almost 16 years, and we didn’t care at this point.

We wouldn’t have gone out at all if we didn’t have to run some errands. We just got our car back from the garage. I didn’t do anything much when we were back home. I was on my period and felt pretty tired. I almost didn’t work out today because I felt tired, but I pushed myself. I was glad that I did that.

I might be able to work tomorrow if time allows. We need to get one of our dogs to see the vet. It seems that I don’t do much work, but I think about it all the time, all right. I’ve been thinking about what I’m going to write a lot. When the time comes, it doesn’t take me long to do it.

Today, I’m grateful for my beloved husband and my peaceful life. I’m fortunate to be able to go out and buy food that I want to eat. Such simple things can make me happy.
