controlling my negativity, anger, frustration. I was barking orders at both of my sig others, who were, bless their hearts, trying their best. I've got an amends or two racked up for this last week. And being so sick, I often slept right through the online meetings. No, not often, every damned day. And I really, really could have used meetings, lots of meetings. Lots of meetings and less pity party. Nobody, myself included, has fun at my pity parties.

*Non-flu means that a very diligent nurse shoved cotton swabs way up in my nose (I'm a nurse and I didn't know cotton swabs could reach that far) and the test came up negative for the flu - I've still gotten to experience all of the flu symptoms. I highly recommend the diagnostic procedure to anyone who enjoys intense pain.
