Hi, Nevanna!
Glad to hear you're having a good time in Chicago.
Some things work for certain times in the sitch and then they stop working. It shows that Rs are indeed dynamic and complex, eh? I think you have a good handle of what's working / not working and are adjusting accordingly.
Nothing for Valentine's day here either. TTYL.
