I've Got The Shakes for You, Valentine...

This is how these things get started...

While Valentine's Day was spent working, for the early part of the day, I came home feeling really sick. By the time I reached the house I was shaking, shivering and dizzy. Chris had come down with the same symptoms on Sunday, but it didn't seem to be as bad as this (of course, it's always worse when you've got it.

Needless to say, I didn't get to go out and get him anything, or take him to a nice restaurant or even cuddle up on the sofa. My evening was spent trying to stop shaking, and for the one time I did get out of bed, try not to fall down on the floor in a heap. All in all, a wonderful way to spend the evening.

Still, I appreciate Chris cooking some noodles for me, and making me tea and some Alka Seltzer cold medication. What more can you ask for from a partner, really?

It's not the Valentine's Day I was expecting, nor wanted, but i think it showed the truth in our relationship more than a card or box of chocolates ever would.
