Little Boost

J came home for lunch today and surprised me with flowers. He put them on the washer and I didn't find them until I went to change the wash. The card said "because you deserve them." Can I get an "awww" from the studio audience? I know this is the part where most people give an eyeroll, groan, and have a sarcastic remark, but just bear with me. We've lived together about a dozen years and now we're several states apart nine months out of the year, all because of my grad school junkie tendencies. So, yes I'm just pedestrian enough to appreciate a surprise batch of flowers that will die in a week. I have to leave again in two weeks. I was pissed that he was coming home for lunch, interrupting my research hours. Glad I didn't choose today to be pissy because I would've felt like an ass once I discovered the flowers.
