I abstain
I am just not doing Valentine’s Day this year. I hardly do, but I’m not gonna pretend today has to be special. I’m in a bad mood and I just want to have a low key day of minimal interaction, is that too much to ask?
I certainly don’t mind Vday in general…it’s like any other holiday or even a birthday. An extra nudge to be thoughtful. I’d hate to denounce the holiday season just because it’s vastly artificial…the extra effort in showing you care about someone is real even if the effort is not. And hey, single people, bitter bar crawls are really fun. Everyone is single. Flirt away! Just watch out for the weepy ones. They should not have gone out. Unless you like hanging with tearful blacked out people.
So y’all have your fun. But if you address me personally about it, I will ignore you. (I’ll give Office Spouse a warning. :) It’s just not worth it if we, or rather I, don’t have time to spend with him right now.)

ps: maybe that sounded mean to Office Spouse. We’ll be spending the night together like we do every Monday (as a matter of convenience since his house is way closer to what I do Monday nights =P) but also per usual, won’t be home before 9pm and I am very very tired. So no dinner plans or anything really. Probably just watching Chuck. Also he’s taken the hint from the fact that I haven’t opened my Christmas present yet that I’m not really big on that stuff. (I just haven’t gotten around to it…the same way he hasn’t gotten around to taking down the his tree.)
