To serve by doing...

.... nothing at all.

That is my Valentine's Day. Master is really sick and sleeping, so I am doing what quiet housework I can without waking him up, and reading, and wishing I were more tired so I could curl up with him and sleep.

We actually exchanged Valentine's Day gifts last night. He put together an incredibly thoughtful gift for me and didn't want to wait one more day to give it to me. Master's prerogative - he didn't have to wait. ;) He bought an absolutely beautiful basket (I am a total basketaholic) and filled it up with some treats: Apples, "smooshed fruit", some organic apple/raspberry juice, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, a wonderful smelling lavendar candle. Every single item in the basket - the basket included! - shows how well he knows what I like and how thoughtful he is. It is truly one of the nicest gifts I have gotten in a very long time. I was so grateful by how very generous & thoughtful it was. He said he wanted to give me treats, but make sure they were (mostly) healthy.

I also gave him the gift & card I got for him last night. He seemed to really like it. :) I got him a really simple gift because we *had* agreed to go with simple and inexpensive - heh. I got him a heart shaped container filled with miniature peanut butter cups (my Master is a peanut butter aholic) and a romantic/cute card that had some kitties on it. And it had a magnet inside that now is gracing the fridge. :)

We curled up and watched a movie together last night... after seeing tonight's weather report, we had decided to wait and do our Valentine's "date" on Friday evening (probably go out to dinner or rent a movie or something). Which turns out well because the "Not feeling quite so well" that Master had been struggling with for several days came out in full force today. Fortunately his boss was amenable to letting him out early, and he has been getting sleep for a good many hours now. I hope that he feels better. We had a very full weekend planned and he is concerned about not being up for some of it.

Ah well... rambly enough post. I guess this one doesn't have any real deep insights or anything, just a slave trying to keep herself busy so that she doesn't do anything that inadvertently wakes up a sick and tired Master.

Happy Valentine's Day to all of my readers!
