Single Person Awareness Day

This is my first Valentine's Day in a long long while without
monshu and I'm trying to figure out if I give a shit.
I mean, of course I miss not having him here. But we were sort of deliberately unromantic about Valentine's Day. Early on, we probably got each other chocolates and what-not, but those were the days when we'd do that kind of thing spontaneously anyhow. After a while, we figured out all we really wanted was to go out to a nice restaurant that wasn't too crowded. Last year it was La Reina del Sur. Two years before that[*], it was Massouleh.
So I'm kinda on the fence about what to do today. Staying home alone I might become maudlin, but going out alone would be worse and going out with a friend would feel odd. A friend from the gaming group said he'd host something, but he's busy until 8 and I don't know that anyone else is planning on coming, making it odd again. So right now I'm leaning toward staying home, eating leftovers, and watching a movie.
If I end up miserable, then I guess I've learned what not to do next year.
[*] The less said about Valentine's the intervening year, the better.
