lydamorehouse Mason is home sick today. He's been having a sore throat for several days. Apparently, strep is going around his high school. He's sound asleep right now, but when he's awake I'll take him in to have him tested. He hasn't really been running a fever, so I doubt he'll test positive. Regardless, he has a big debate tournament this weekend that he doesn't want to miss, so catching up on his sleep to heal up is probably a good idea, no matter what.
I've had a bit of a sticky throat myself, but mine feels like a low-grade cold at most.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of when Shawn and I first met. Like a lot of queer couples, we can't remember the exact day, but we know that we went to Target together to buy Christmas presents. It was our first date and the year was 1985. So, by that reckoning we've been together for 32 years. It's not a perfect tally because there were on and off periods those early years, but many years ago, we decided, retrospectively, just to start with the U-Haul moment. I moved in with Shawn our freshman year of college and never moved out. Now we have a house and kids.
I'm usually really good about anniversaries. I like being romantic. For our thirtieth, or maybe twenty-ninth, I brought Shawn a single rose for thirty days.
This year, we both kind of forgot. Luckily, Mason's debate tournaments go late and so Shawn and I are actually thinking about going out to eat, which is something we having done together, alone, in the evening, for well over fourteen years. (I may secretly also buy some flowers, but you know....) The point is, it should be fun, if a little more low-key than some years.
