I suck worse than I knew.
Just two more days until I can wish you a Happy Singles Awareness Day!!!! Last year I was lucky enough to be dating Yuki, and he provided me with the all-time best Valentine's Day surprises. Actually, I gave him chocolate on Valentine's Day and he gave me flowers on White Day (March 14th) according to Japanese tradition. But before Yuki I had never had a boyfriend who was sweet enough to do something for me ...and more likely I was single on this damn holiday.
Again this year I have no one, and perhaps it's a blessing in disguise, but I have to work. I'll be spending my evening with a 10-year-old in a sweaty basketball uniform. Sweet.
Oh. I posted today because ...I suck. I was already kicked off my basketball team. =(
The captain was nice about it--she said they were able to find some players and they don't need me anymore, but I'm sure it's because I played so awfully that they decided they'd rather put 4 players on the court rather than have me fumbling around out there. So, I've accepted that maybe I just suck at basketball. Oh well, I'm single AND I suck.
Daniel and I had our farewell dinner tonight. (He leaves for Iraq tomorrow morning.) We made some delicious flank steak stir-fry with noodles and napa cabbage slaw. It was pretty darn good. There are pictures, but I don't suppose he'll be sending them to me for several days. DT and I have hung out a lot in the last month. It's hard to believe I can't sleep on his couch every weekend anymore. I'm going to miss having an old friend in Boston. I promise to take good care of your orchids, DT!!! Be safe in Iraq!!
