Valentines still sucks but this year I like to think that the universe conspired to be somewhat kinder. Four women got what they wanted for V-day. They didn't get exactly what they wanted but getting something was pleasant enough.
Ann did not wish for anything being who she was and having who she had on her desk 24/7. Nonetheless she got flowers and a stuffed toy from her mother.
Apple wished for rose-shaped chocolates and a "hotdog" pillow. Her mom sent her both although the stuffed toy can only be remotely called a "cocktail hotdog" pillow.
Gee went out on a date. She did not wish for one but she did wish to go to the movies. The date involved a movie so she enjoyed that.
I wished for a conversation over coffee with someone who did not have the monthlies. I did get one although there was no coffee involved only a rather large investment in cellphone credit. And it was platonic. He was pleasant company for the day and the jokes kept me off John Mayer's "Love Song for No One". That's something.
In behalf of room 122, I thank you Universe.
PS Don't forget the 24th.
