It's Valentine's Day and I'm having a hard time with it as it is the first one I've been single for in a very long time. I wanted to go on a bakery crawl with the girls I live with here in Italy but they weren't up for it and so I feel sort of shitty today. It's not really about the whole love thing or not having a boy (though that does add a lovely shade of heartache) but the fact that today is going to be like every other day. I like holidays and the specialness they bring to an otherwise routine daily operation. I seek out the variety they bring and the excuse they give me to make the day particularly special. I just want someone to do it with me. I will probably go do a small bakery run by myself but it really won't seem like anything except me kidding myself unless someone else joins in. Oh well--there's always next year.
