WHAT what you want
WHERE where you want
WHEN Day ""135""

[The rain has cleared, but it appears to have left some people with a case of the sniffles! The magic sniffles. Even if you've never been sick a day in your life, you might not find yourself immune. Then again, maybe you have a terrible immune system and you're fine. I'm not the magic sniffles police.

Symptoms May Include:

- runny nose
- sore throat
- fever
- thinking you're going to cough or sneeze but actually what comes out is A BURST OF THE TRUTH
- waking up in someone else's bed
- joint aches

At least the sketchy pop-up pharmacy at the mall has a special on tissues and nyquil?]

At giving people space?

If I'm going to be entirely honest, I don't think I was ever quite good at that to begin with.

Self-awareness is always a good look on you.

You make it sound like I'm usually lacking.

I wouldn't say usually.

When have I not been entirely honest with myself?

It's not that you lie to yourself, it's that you get too caught up in your own approach.

You're beginning to sound like Erik.

Well, it's not that he's usually wrong about identifying problems, he's just not great with solutions.

That's because he really only has one solution, and it doesn't benefit anyone.

True, but a little off topic.

How is it off topic? I was responding to what you said.

But now we're talking about his problems instead of yours.

...

He is my problem. His problems are my problems.

Ah. I see what you mean. I understand now.

What can I say to that except... YIKES.

[scrubbing a hand over his face and groaning

he freezes up a little, like he's holding back a cough, but then:]

This is why Nakia left.

...that's one hell of a cold symptom.

[what if he just covers his face with a pillow and gets all his truth-cold germs on it]

[then she will give him gentle scritches because he's sick and she's being nice to him. relatively.]

[RrRRrrr he is aware of his own flaws and he is working on them ok]
