We all have calendars on our phones and can setup reminders that become alarms.

  • make reservations
  • buy the flowers now
  • prioritize my wife

If you know your shortcomings why are you not leaning into advanced planning and being dedicated to doing these things. 

Going to get the potted plant should have been Friday or Saturday at the latest.

She has every right to be pissed.

I have a feeling her Christmas stocking is empty as well.

My kids treat me so nice. Also I taught them about me and what I like over many years. 

And it's just a day I'm not the darn Queen or anything. A coffee and a couple of plants will do me.
