I don't personally celebrate Valentine's Day, but I did give Logan a super cute (in my opinion) card that I've had for years and always needed a reason to use.

We went out for breakfast at Nat's on Ventura, but that's been a tradition for the last, like, two years, so it wasn't anything special, but it doesn't need to be special. It doesn't need to be fancy dinners, or flowers, or chocolates. It just needs to be he and I, spending time together, enjoying each other's company. Every moment we get together is special. That's all I need.

I hope you all have a wonderful day. If you can't be with someone you love, then do something in self-love. Spoil yourself, you deserve it.

Oh man, my good weekends always end too quickly. Then it's Monday and it's back to reality and all the stress. That's the best thing about being with Logan, he makes me forget all my problems, all that stress washes away the minute I pull into his driveway. But now that I'm back home, I'm just, blah.

Kevin is still in the hospital. He was supposed to get out Thursday, but then they said no, and I don't know why. I wonder if the fracture on his spine is worse than they initially thought, and they're keeping him there out of precaution. He gets up and can walk, though, he went up and down stairs in the stairwell. So, I don't know. I think I'm going to go with my mother tonight and stop by for a visit. I haven't seen him since Wednesday. I know he must be going crazy.

I've been looking at traditional and digital artists over the last few weeks. I've never been super happy with my House's Crest. I hate that I didn't create it myself, like I have for all my own Covens. That's always been something I have been adamant about, making my own graphics. I just haven't had the desire or the inspiration to make it happen. And, last year, my laptop shit the bed so I don't have access to Photoshop right now. I have a very specific idea in mind for what I want the final Crest to look like, and I just don't have to means to do it myself, so I was going to reach out to some real artists and see what they can offer and how much it would be. All-in-all, I think that would be the best course, paying a real artist to create something. I have dabbled in photomanipulation for many years, but it's not something I've ever been amazing at. I have created some pretty cool things for VR members over the many years I've been here, but what I want to do, it's a bit beyond me and I don't have the time or the will to look through thousands of stock images to find the right ones to use. So, outsourcing is the next best thing. I also want to overhaul the main page. Again. I don't like it as it currently is. So I've been working on that, as well, little by little. I don't think I'll end up fully overhauling it until after the move to Texas, though. So, hopefully, by the end of the year. That's gives me a lot of room to find the perfect artist and for me to find my words, again. But yeah, I've got plans, I've got things in the works. I'm not in any rush to get things done. I want to offer the best I can, and that takes time.

Thursday is the anniversary of Sanni's passing. Logan has already taken the day off from work. Which, hosetly, is a good idea. He's a master at compartmemtalizing his emotions, putting on a good face for his clients, but I do think it gets to him on some level. He does it out of a means to survive, but I wish he didn't have to. And, with his mother's death... I think him taking the day off is the best thing for him.

Yeah... Anyway.

Disney is offering up wedding packages that will include ceremonies in front of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland starting this summer. I don't think I've ever truley considered having a Disney wedding, but getting married at the Haunted Mansion has always kinda been a dream of mine. I know, I'm a lame Disney Adult, but I can't help it. Disneyland has always been a place of magic for me. The only issue with Disney weddings, when inside the actual parks, is that they have to be done after they close, and before they open. So, after 11 PM and before 8 AM. Not the biggest or easiest window to work with, to be sure. There's also the price part, but to be fair, their packages aren't all that outlandish, considering you're getting a wedding in the parks. But yeah. Not saying Logan and I would do this, but I think it's a fun addition. I looked into Disney weddings a few years ago, but they didn't have a Haunted Mansion package. Now they officially have two, what with the Haunted Mansion themed bar on their newest cruiseship. It's always something to consider. There's a limit of 25 people for this specific package, and we'll have at most, 16 people attending, including Logan and I. So, it fits us on that front.

I haven't put much thought into the wedding for the last year, considering the loss of Sanni, and then everything that's come afterwards. And I probably won't put more thought into it until after we're settled into the property in Texas. It's fun to dream about, though.

It's been a very long weekend. Kevin seems to be doing really well, though, so that's a plus. They got him up on his feet for the first time since he entered the hospital early Friday morning. It's going to be slow going, and all his co-workers are saying he'll probably be off the job for about a year. But, the good thing about being a cop, is that the worker's comp is going to be really good, he'll be very well compensated for the time that he's out. They had talked about getting him a brace for his back, but the physical therapist said he may not need it. So, we'll see. Hopefully he won't have to be in the hospital for much longer. I do think they are going to recommend that he go to a rehab place after discharge, just to help him build up some strength, and get used to doing things with his one good hand while his wrist is healing. It's not easy, I remember when I broke my wrist in middle school, how hard it was to write or do anything with my non-dominant hand. He broke his right wrist, just like I did, so I know from experience how difficult it will be. And then the pelvic and spine fractures... Yeah.

A rehab place is probably the best option for him, since Liz doesn't want him at the house. That was its own big ordeal, I had to talk Liz through some things last night. Not something I want to have to do again... Divorce, man, it's a bitch and it fucks so much up. Especially when they aren't on the same page. I hate to see it, but it's not my relationship and I don't want to be involved in these arguments. I love them both. So yeah... What a weekend.
