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

[eggwards]

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.

You can still get the chocolates. And they're on sale now, too!

hugging leads to kissing and kissing leads to...

SO much better than the traditional schmaltz!

I'm so sorry you guys are sick! Do you need anything? I of course would have to come over dressed like an astronaut, hehehe. :)

Brendan and I are going shopping today and buying sale candies for ourselves. I think it will be really fun, so much cheaper, and we can get more yum-yums.

Nice picture...

You two certainly make a cute couple!

Sorry to hear you've been under the weather.

The true meaning of Valentine's day... someone to take care of you when you're sick.

Such an adorable pic! :-)

Chris did mention you guys are sick. Sorry to hear that. :-(

*hugs to you both*

You said it. There's nothing like having somebody to love
and having that somebody come to your rescue when you're sick.
Hope y'all get to feeling better!

Love the picture, too!

(And congrats on finally hitting the floor with your new company.
Took me a full FIVE weeks before I was able to really drive a
big rig last February, too.)

I've spent the majority of my b'days and V'days sick and miserable. Nothing says love like a tissue box, hot tea, and a fave DVD.

Love is sickness, this proves.

Feel better soon, please.

Would you say you and your man are a bear couple or a bear-nonbear couple?
