Valentines Day for the infertile

The northeast got quite a snowstorm yesterday. I can barely drive in the rain much less the snow. I decided not to even leave the hotel yesterday which resulted in a little bit of stir craziness for me. I'm hoping to venture out today.

Since dealing with IF Christmas has felt like the worst holiday ever invented. I despise the commercialism of the holiday and I generally feel horrible for the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I can only imagine that is how single people who want to be in a relationship feel between New Year's and Valentines Day. Paul spent a few Valentines Day's with those exact sentiments. So I was really pleased yesterday when, because of snow, we hung out with Paul's coworkers, ordered Chinese, and played some cards. Paul has two coworkers who are married and are traveling without their spouses. It is during moments like these that I am grateful for IF. It becomes easier to set my feelings aside and be empathetic to my single friends, acquaintances who are without loved ones on this holiday.
