Valentine's received 1, times griped about it 0 (v.v.g.), further Valentine's expected 0


Am quite aware it's Valentine's Day.
Am choosing to ignore it.

Hours of painful groaning 24, tissues used 600 (estimate), negative thoughts about the flu 67, minutes comtemplating sudden death 12 (not v.g.)


Sudden bout of flu has ruined last Winter Formal. Left dance earlier than expected. V. upset and irritated by body's disease fighting ability.
Felt like invalid limping around the dance floor. Tried to make the best of the situation by doing funny dance moves which merely resulted in v. horrible sick feeling. Am quite surprised by caring friends as they walked me to the door missing about 6 minutes of sufficient dance time. Am v. glad I did not have a date this year, am v. glad I have good friends.

Though sick (and quite possibly dying), have attained first level of self-sufficient being who does not need boyfriend to have good time.
