I knew I wanted to take a sick day, but not because I was feeling horribly ill!
I can still smell, but my throat is really irritated and my head feels foggy and the congestion is starting. As long as I can taste food this week, it will be okay. And I hope I don't feel worse.
Last night I did end up going out for dinner with my mom since I was feeling hungry. I gave her some Krispy Kreme doughnuts and a raisin scone. Afterwards, I dropped by the P Man's to pick up my stuff.
I was still feeling residual anger from the day's argument since nothing was resolved. And when I saw him again, he was like nothing had happened. He just thought I looked grumpy. Mind you, I was feeling under the weather. I think he was a little miffed that I only went by to get my stuff and not see him/hang out. (Well, he even said something about it.) Then when I was leaving, he asked me if I wanted him to call me later, and I told him no.
I'm not really in the mood for talking to him because I just feel POed. I did my best to tell him that it's important for real boyfriends to be part of my circle of friends and family. And he doesn't seem to get it. Now it's just "your friends hate me, and I don't want to be around people who hate me." Fair enough, but when it's my birthday thing or my best friend who is visiting from out of town, make an exception!!
And he's supposed to be taking me out for dinner tomorrow night. It's not like a taking me out for the evening for my birthday. It's an it's your birthday, so I am taking you out for an early dinner dinner and so I can drive my grandma to my parents. We have to finish early, and I am not going along for the ride. When I asked about meeting his family, he said he wasn't even speaking to them right now, and his grandmother is too sick to meet me.
Whatever.
I've decided to not get him a tie for Christmas now. He just bought a bunch, and I've seen how he treats his ties (and clothes). I'm not going to get him a nice tie to have him hang it up knotted on a doorknob with all the others. I'm going try to find him a dayplanner at a dollar store, get him some training chopsticks and clothes hangers. It will be the cheapest gift I can get him!!
Of course...unless we are not together...
I am tempted to get out of going out for dinner tomorrow night. I am sick anyway. I am back to feeling uncomfortable with the thought of being with him.

Darlin', if you get this dumbass anything for X-mas it needs to be walking papers. Men are like guiter players, they're a dime a dozen and I'm sure you can find a better one.

Ug! All this negative stuff is not good for the soul!! Hope it gets better...
And I'm jealous about Hong Kong. Hope it works out.

Is it even worse that I know I can find a better one? I haven't bought him anything yet, and if I do, it will only be out of courtesy since he is getting me something. (or claims to be)
