I ended up telling the story of the stupid vendor to a co-worker who was working from home, and laughed myself into tears again. I'm still agog.
I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it. Don't hide behind Mal 'cause you know he'll shoot it down for you. Tell me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You can cut out something hard and no one complains.
Well, we agreed to a big demolition project, but part of it is just physically tricky--hard to access, with a lot of environmental problems associated with it. And I realized that if we don't do that piece, we still accomplish the needs of the project, but we lose the trickiest planning problems and save money as well.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Damnit. I think I might have to go to the doctor tomorrow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, Dana! If you're still sick, at least call a nurse line?

I did. The result was a lot of "this is not official medical advice" but if your symptoms aren't better by tomorrow, you might want to call the doctor.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ugh, Dana. Feel better, either way.
Things maybe I didn't need to know: I stopped at the Mexican grocery store that is directly on my way home, just to buy milk, and they have a taqueria in the store that smelled so awesome that I walked out with a burrito that was bigger than my head and tasted better than it smelled.
Also, they sell goat

Oh, I hate that. Yeah, call the doctor.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
has brenda checked in? I am worried about her day.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, Dana, ugh. But hopefully the doctor will be able to actually make it better.
And, holy crap. There was a rage-filled rager on National Catholic Reporter ranting about the lies of feminism and getting snarled at by lots of people and just getting rantier, but she just answered my one single post with thanks for my thoughtful and reasonable response, and asking if I could expand on any of the points I had raised.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I finished The Hunger Games. B&N had a well timed coupon, so I bought the other two books today.
