Are you doing anything special this week for yourself or with someone else?

How are you doing? I think I'm pretty human today. 
Glad to be at work, feeling hopeful, also feeling anxious about some big projects that i have to get finished in the coming few weeks.
Are you doing anything special this week for yourself or with someone else? Cookies for my team at work this week. Valentines dinner will be quiet and at home!!
That is really great to hear that you are feeling hopeful. Sorry to hear that you are feeling anxious about the projects in the next few weeks. That is so sweet of you to make cookies for your team at work, they will probably appreciate that a lot for your kindness. It is ok to have a quiet dinner because sometimes we need that.
@MissPen
Well I was doing lots of special things for my birthday which didn't happen because I got gastro or food poisoning 
so No I'm not feeling the best.
Sorry you aren't feeling good. GI issues are really hard to deal with sometimes also. Hope you feel better soon. Hugs.
@scarletLand3247
@scarletLand3247 Nothing like stomach upset to ruin your birthday celebrations! Hope you're feeling better soon.
Not feeling like I have ever mattered to anyone. But listening to music . Always helps me. Tonite its Coors, Queen. and STYX.
You matter to me and I know others care also. Hugs. Music is an awesome coping skill so very proud of you for listening to music.

@DanaMH my dog got a Valentines Day card! But I wont be doing anything special.
That is so sweet that your dog received a card. Sorry you won't be doing anything special. Maybe you can do some self-love/self-care thing for yourself.
@Lauren63
How are you doing? I am doing very well today.
Are you doing anything special this week for yourself or with someone else? Tomorrow I will spend some time with my girlfriend, take her some flowers, treat her right.
That is great to hear that you are doing very well today.
That is so sweet of you to do all that for her. Hope you enjoy the time together.
@Offmytrack
@Offmytrack Your girlfriend is a lucky lady! Have fun.
@Aravis65, I wish she felt that way. I have been trying hard to make her happy, she is either angry or depressed. I am a bit frustrated, and not doing as well as I ought.
@Offmytrack If it's any consolation, I'm angry and depressed around my partner too sometimes, and it isn't always about him. Sometimes all I want is a comforting presence, a hug, "Things will get better," etc. It's important to keep talking together.
@Aravis65 You are so right. She was upset Saturday night for very little reason. I sat with her, comforted her, talked to her, held her, told her how much I cared for her. That helped a bit. Then I got an idea, remembering something she had said. I wrote out the words to the round "Rose Red", which she had said she wanted to learn, and taught it to her. A little encouragement went a long way in making her feel better.
