An Alternative Anniversary

Well contrary to popular belief i.e. my own, today was NOT dedicated to my wonderful anniversary - though that was still a part of it. Whilst waiting for the dear boyfriend to arrive, I got a little bit of food article prep done before he appeared, looking rather dashing in a soft dark blue turtleneck. And in exchange for the Rick and Morty cap and t-shirt, I received a cute pair of jeweled crescent moon studs and a bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin in its own metal presentation tin. Sweet! BUT given that 1. we both weren't feeling that great 2. the weather wasn't great and 3. my dad and sister were going to see family that I hadn't seen in three years, we both (probably before we'd even met) decided we could postpone our celebrations for another day. So I got to see my wonderful aunt, uncle, and cousins after all. We spent a chatty, cat-filled 6 1/2 hours in their home in Essex and that time just flew by! So now I'm back in my bed, ready for more Vampire Diaries, having indulged in some insane conversation with my cousins, some quality time with a cat, and some loving home cooking (cottage pie and chocolate trifle) from my aunt. Not to mention a day off from serious work - which begins again tomorrow (oh joy)
