Happy v day. I got the flower from my “boyfriend” as stated on the card. It was funny that they gave 10 roses in the vase. I am sure that daddy would order a dosen. So I called daddy. And daddy called them. They said that it was honorest mistake and they re-dilivered 2 more rosed.

I got another cold and saw a doctor. You all have to be careful to avoid it.

Looks like I’m finally free of the flu. Woo Hoo! Apparently there’s a new flu strain called the Santa Clara Flu. That’s what they are going to make next year’s flu vaccine out of. Great.

Mom just got it!

Happy Valentine’s Day.

Hopefully, gifts from Mom will arrive at your door steps today. Also, my gift to Mom.

I probably will drive to DC and back today to do some household chores because this week is a short week. This way, it will give me a month without visiting home in DC. Of course, Mom’s plants are not too happy but they sure can last about a month without watering.

I will be at Mom’s place on Thursday. Mom sounded aweful yesterday, just like Jeremy, sick again. Hope, you all are getting better. Donald, are you getting better?

It’s Sunday night and I’m going to hold myself accountable to my goals by updating them here on the blog on Sunday night. Part of the Wishcraft deal.

Let’s see, there are a few different catagories:

Physical:
Row daily.

Social:
Invite someone over for dinner this week.

Personal:
Finish knitting the main piece of Vince’s sweater.
Practice piano daily.
Keep the kids happy and fed.

Professional:
My professional goals for the next five years are to run an independent press publishing poetry and to get a Master’s in Nursing.

But for this week:
I’m going to write 1 poem this week (the first one in about 10 years.)
I’m going to send out a poem that I wrote 10 years ago out to 5 magazines to see if anyone wants to publish it.
I’m going to try and figure out about nursing schools in Singapore.

Sent us this musical Valentine’s Day card. Vince loves dancing to the music.

Thanks Ruth!

Jeremy has been trying to disinfect our computer all weekend so my access to the computer has been limited. We thought we had lost all our computer disks and so we were going to lose all our programs, but Katherine found them today in her study, so I think that after this weekend, we’ll have to wipe the slate clean and reinstall Windows on our computer.
