Why Can't It Just Be Friday the 13th Instead?

Why Can't It Just Be Friday the 13th Instead?

Valentines on a weekday is like Christmas on a Sunday. There is a slight desire for it and discomfort around it. I know that if I am working or have some common activity to do on that day I am going to be inundated with images of things I do not care to see. If I as much as go to the doctor there is guaranteed to be a an overzealous front desk person or nurse. There is also going to be useless decor and or decorated foods. Someone may or may not receive flowers which is equally disruptive. Trains and traffic will be out of control the entirety of the day. Lines will grow long in stores with purchases of last minute dog keys and festive outfits. Restaurants will be overwhelmed including those with takeaway because the singles will be eating their loneliness. And forget about going to a local bar or das Kino. As a married woman the last thing I am thinking about is this day. We have nothing to prove to each other. We have nothing to prove to our peers. We are just fine with going about the day as any other day especially on a weekday. We need to go get groceries and pick up prescriptions. We need to do those mutual appointments like marriage counseling or kinderwunsch termines on a Friday. We do not need to see happy couples or singles wishing for things they know nothing about. We are both pessimistic and superstitious. He randomly sent me a Steiff katze last week so there are no feelings involved. I'll probably send him a semi nude photo on Valentines Eve to keep things scharf. The gig is up over here. I would much prefer a day of doom over the dread of lovers everywhere. I haven't shaved since the time changed. So there's that. Anywho I am wishing you and yours a lovely Galentines, Trinkentines or Valentines which ever way you choose to endure it. But it is hump day so I suggest you all get your trinkets on this day. Please ladies shave and destroy H&M now. Junge ought to just opt for an Amazon situation or reschedule for Samstag. Us dismals have real shit to do this Friday and require all that desperation and angst to stay indoors. 

Ich Liebe Dich.
