All Things Love

I decided to honor Valentine's day by typing this post in red.  The color of AMOR!  I'm not a big fan of Valentine's day. It's just another day to me. Of course, if I was in a relationship I would probably have a change of heart (heh).  So this being "Valentine's Day Weekend" it's only fitting that every channel on the tellie is showing some sappy love story right?  Anyway, I'm sick.  I've been sick since Thursday.  I managed to work through Friday, though I have no idea how I made it through the day. Saturday morning greeted me with a horrible migraine, congestion, watery-itchy eyes and this excruciating pain coming from both of my ears.  G-u-r-e-a-t!  I drove myself to an urgent care clinic and after waiting for almost two hours to see the doctor, I was finally diagnosed with not one, but TWO ear infections and as an added bonus, a sinus infection. NICE!  After paying a small fortune and picking up my meds, I miraculously made it home and threw myself on my bed.  And it's here that I've been since then. Getting up only to drink water or go to the bathroom.  Which leads me back to Valentine's Day ---you thought I forgot right? Since I'm kind of quarantined to the confines of my home, and  since the only energy I can muster up is to work the remote and type on my laptop, I've been enduring sappy love movies since last night.  Bleh.  Love is never as easy as it seems on screen.  It's complicated and intoxicating and hapy and sad and angry and lustful and kind, and sacrifice and full of passion and, well you get the picture yes?  I've been called a "romantic" all of my life, and I am.  Truly.  I love, love.  Whether or not I'm in a relationship, I love, love.  Sure, I get a case of the "blues" or a little jealous of "the couples" because I am alone, but I can't dwell on that or let it make me bitter.  I just keep going forward.  I have so much love to give someone, and one day, "someone" will come into my life and take what I have to give and give me what they have to offer.  And that will be my Valentine.  One day.  That is my hope anyway.
