The Valentine's Bug

Almost every year, for the last at least 12 years, it's the same Valentine's Day tradition for me. . . physical illness. Maybe it's all the mushiness and my system can't handle it. Maybe it's fate's way of letting me know that just because I don't have a special someone does not mean I have been forgotten. Oh no, not forgotten at all. Whether it's bronchitis, strep throat, the common cold, killer allergies, or, as it is this year, the flu I always know that somewhere, somehow fate has not forgotten me.
