For the second year in a row we had to reschedule Valentine's Day due to sickness. This year it was only me, thankfully, and hopefully it stays that way.The flu totally got me last week. I tried to teach one of my first night time Introduction to Sociology classes with 102 fever. You can only imagine how well that went.
I came back to life on Saturday, so by Sunday evening we had our traditional fondue dinner. I have been using this cheese fondue recipe for years. We tossed everything onto the table and dug in (my mom joined us too) then we laughed over our handmade Valentine gifts for each other. Unlike past years the gifts weren't wrapped (we just closed our eyes), the mantle wasn't decorated, nothing was cute.
We still got to celebrate though...and sometimes it's good to remember that's what is really important.
