Valentine's Day in School

I remember in Catholic school, for Valentine's Day, you could purchase heart-shaped lollipops to people you liked and during the day everyone's lollipops would be announced and handed out, saying who they were from. I don't believe this should be done in schools. I think it should be where a student has to either give a Valentine to every student in the class or none at all during school hours. It could be embarrassing to not get any (or very few) Valentine's. Sometimes they'd even be from people you weren't even friends with who seemed to pity you, expecting you wouldn't get any Valentine's. That could be the worst. Anyways, I just hate that and don't think it should be done. I hope the school has changed their policy on that...

5+2 Gratitudes

1. Michael making me a banana and berries smoothie
2. Reading Shadow and Evil in Fairy Tales and The Sugar Queen
3. Going to "Third Wednesday" at church and talking with friends
4. Having yummy spaghetti, garlic bread, fudge, and brownies at Third Sunday
5. My psychiatrist being supportive in the mix up of my medication (I'm still really upset about this because it upset my routine and I have autistic sensitivities about these things -- the pharmacy would only give me brand name Zyprexa instead of generic olanzapine because they claim my psychiatrist said "no substitions" which he did not)
6. Michael being supportive
7. A compliment on my hair cut by an elderly woman at church in our Crafting group
