Rambling on chocolates, roses, and spoons

Chocolates and roses are things that make some people happy, happy, happy!

For some they’re bullshit. They’re just food and flowers, one that can taste bad (and can rot your teeth) and another that can smell bad (and can stab you).

Now, not all chocolate tastes the same, nor do all roses smells the same, and they all have different stages in their ‘life cycle’. A freshly harvested cocoa bean tastes very different from a newly made chocolate of any type. Just as that newly made made chocolate tastes different from the bean, it tastes different from a year-old, half-melted chocolate bar on the bottom shelf of someone’s cupboard. A blooming rose smells different decaying rose. For those with sharper smelling nose, a living, blooming rose smells different than a cut blooming rose (the decay starts to seep in in a cut rose).

It is also important to understand that chocolates can have meanings depending on who you give them to and the day, as can roses with their color and type. (I, personally, favor calla lilies, but something with roses and calla lilies is cool. Just roses - boring.) Or, as previously stated, they can be bullshit, or just mean nothing.

If you’ve heard the spoon theory of life, I don’t generally have many spoons these days. Luckily, I mostly deal with people who understand chocolate and roses and don’t think they’re bullshit.

This morning, as I was texting a friend and being happy, happy, happy in text, I realized I’d rather just lie down and hug someone and not get up, ever. I’m so tired. The chocolate is just food. The roses are just flowers. Without the hug, it’s nothing. I don’t want sex (sorry, not sorry). I don’t want marriage (I’m already married and I love him). I just want to lie down and fall asleep hugging someone who cares.* Or someone who cares about me, hugging me. I’m so tired and everyone’s so busy and I feel like I’m useless.

The non-depressed people will say “well make yourself useful”. It’s taking all the spoons I have to coherently write this. I’m not sure if it’s coherent.

* And for those people wondering: It’s not my husband’s fault he can’t lie down and not do SOMEthing for hours and hours - he understands that I suffer from depression even though he cannot comprehend what it is like. He just makes sure I see my doctors and gives me all the support he can, not pushing and not even asking questions like, “Have you tried not being depressed?” I am lucky and sometimes that makes it even harder because I feel like I should be ahead of the curve with the support group I have at home. Everyone here is accepting of my condition, working with and around my problems, instead of making a big deal out of them. Everyone, except me. So tired.

March 16th, 1979: Marlene & Barty (Chocolates and Roses)

Marlene leaned against the cold stone wall of the entranceway, bored during her patrol. She was assigned to the Jones' residence, ordered to keep a watchful eye on the guests that were milling about, paying their respects to Hestia's family due to Prosecutor Jones' passing. She sighed when she heard the sniffling, deep sighs, and whispered mantras of "I'm sorry for you loss". The scenario was too familiar, reminding her Max's wake last year. Enough. She squeezed her eyes shut, refusing to think back to that time. She had a purpose being here, and she wasn't about to muck it up with grief. Her task at the Jones' residence was the safekeeping of the vault. She wasn't entirely sure what its contents were, but she had been warned that there was a risk of Death Eaters infiltrating the home in order to gain access to the information. Not on my watch.

The hours ticked by and the number of guests began to dwindle. By evening, Marlene felt confident that no more people would show up. She made a circle of the hallway, smiling at the stragglers, but keeping a tight grip on her wand for precaution. She had failed once - it wouldn't happen again. Her shift was almost over, and another Order member would be coming to replace her for the evening. She was thankful she hadn't gotten the evening shift. If the darkening bags under her eyes were any indication, she was overcome by exhaustion. Moreover, a night shift was far more intimidating, and there was a greater risk of a break in. She hoped that at least two guards would be set up overnight. 

Hearing a knock at the door, she looked around and confirmed that she was the only one able to answer it, seeing as the remainder of the family was busy saying goodbyes. Who could be showing up so late? Frowning slightly, she made her way towards the door, making sure to look through the peephole before reaching for the handle. What was that little prat doing here? She froze, wondering if she should even bother addressing him. Was he friends with Hestia? Not likely. Nonetheless, it wasn't under her jurisdiction to decide who she could let in, other than the few known Death Eaters. And Bellatrix. Suppressing a growl, she pulled the handle back and opened the door slightly, just enough to stick her head through.

"What are you doing here?" she asked menacingly, glaring at the boy. Her eyes flicked downwards, noticing that he was carrying gifts. Really?

"Make it quick, Barty."
