Where's the remote?: February 2011

I know it's gooby. But I have one of those relationships that every time I say goodbye to my boyfriend we plan the next trip to see each other. So, since Christmas, we planned a weekend in February to see each other. That's just what you got to do when you live thousands of miles away from each other.

So, like any couple, we planned to see each other valentine's weekend. But then Columns Society got in the way of that. So the next weekend. Of course!

But of course, it's me. Can my life be that simple? No. NO. NO NO!!

Monday:Valentine's.

Tuesday:Elections. I am fine.

Wednesday: Is that fever I feel? Maybe. I will go to the doctor. Oh doctor, I do not have the flu? Okay great. Yes, you can give me two shots. I am going out of town this weekend.

Thursday: I feel okay. It's time to go see Richard.

Friday: Congrats! It's "you got the flu" friday!!! Yippee! BECAUSE IT IS THE ONE TIME YOU CAN GET SICK!

It would have been a terrible weekend but...

Here we had spent all this money (we split the airplane ticket fare) and I was sick the whole time. However, it made me love him in a whole new way. He had no problem letting me know I still had snot on my face. He had no problem feeling my head for fever, fetching more tylenol. He had no problem with just sitting in, scouring hulu for good reruns. He had a gift for me every day in DC but the real gift he never intended on giving was playing my doctor. He is a huge planner and to have me ruin his plans...well he just went along with it.
I hope you all get to meet him and even though my valentines day weekend mainly involved sudafed, tylenol, some kleenex and a whole lot of parks and recreation..it still involved the guy I that I kinda of love. :)
So this is my ode to Richard.

Thanks for having the role of my boyfriend in my sitcom life. I am sorry that it makes you get involved on my terrible comedic timing of a life.

So turns out the flu can be romantic....in the "honey, you've got a bat in the cave" type of way.
He deserves it.
