Yeah, I can see where the shine would wear off for you, especially since, according to some info I'm looking at, it's a 'special' day for another reason, too. ;)
When I worked retail, I was the same way. All the Valentines commercialism, combined with half-crazy consumers made me go 'eh' for a very long time.
My problem right now, I think, is just that my eyes are acting up (although they've gotten better overnight), and I've been going 'this is not where I saw myself being at this age when I was younger in regards to this'. And, of course, regret, because I can honestly say the first relationship that I voluntarily walked away from was the one I should have stuck with. And there is no hope whatsoever for it. Not unless the guy rises from the grave.
...Which would probably be a bad thing, no matter how you sliced it, you know?
Anyhow, I will be all right. I suspect I'm just going through all the normal 'OH MY GOD I HAVEN'T BEEN ALONE FOR 'X' HOLIDAY FOR THIS MANY YEARS! I'M BY MYSELF! WHAT DO I DO????' thing, you know? And the whole 'can't see shit' just added to it. :/
