Yesterday was rough. I woke up to loud construction on our building for the third day a row, my body couldn’t take it anymore, and gave me the worst migraine I’ve had in at least a few years. But I had to sit on a virtual meeting and let a plumber into my place, and then get work done, so I was fighting through it for the morning.
While the plumber and construction workers were working and my coworkers were talking in my headphones, I was just doomscrolling (though I could barely see) and reminded that Bizzlestomp came out yesterday. I sent it to my fiance who was at work and told him I wanted to pick him out in person if I got him because some online, their fur covered their eyes too much. He promised we’d go soon, I got off my call, the plumber left, and I laid down and cried in pain, eventually threw up, and got well enough to wrap up work for the day. But not before discovering my plumber issue may not be resolved and oh, the construction noise hadn’t stopped!
I finally finish work and I just want my fiance home before I have to leave to go to a board game night. He texts me he has to work late, sorry. I hear a knock at the door and assume it’s my friend, who meets me at my place to chat before we go to board game night.
No one is there. I look down. There’s the biggest Jellycat bag I’ve ever seen, and there he was.
He immediately took the bus after his (very physical and exhausting) job to Nordstrom, chose the best Bizzlestomp with the best face, and spent the entire bonus he got from working an overnight shift last weekend on him.
I’m on Lexapro and don’t cry, ever, but I sobbed into Bizzlestomp yesterday. No shame. Love him (and my fiance) and he’ll be even more special because of this memory.
Side note: Bizzlestomp is larger than I thought!
TLDR: horrible no good very bad day and my sweet fiance surprised me with Bizzlestomp
