Sounds like a fine day! Glad you enjoyed it and could resist the social pressure of the event.

As for me, as it happened I had a very full schedule and really didn't have time to stop doing things all day. I was barely conscious that it was Valentine's Day, but I was conscious that it was Ash Wednesday as the Catholic church across the street from my house had a jam-packed parking lot all day long, which caused me some inconvenience while running my errands.

That's awesome! Have a good time by yourself! I'm mug mothers caregiver, and we had a very nice day!

I don't think you should ever feel obligated to act a certain way or do certain things on holidays or "special days". It's just an arbitrary date someone thought it was a good idea to pick.

Just be happy, do what you enjoy.
