Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay Betsy!

I just got all excited, thinking about going to the Shake Shack for a burger tomorrow when I drop my boots off to be re-soled, but then I remembered I need to lose a couple of pounds in the next couple of weeks, dammit.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Congratulations, Betsy!

I'm having a burger right now AIFG. Though probably not the least bit organic.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Congratulations, Betsy!

I felt all kindsa virtuous when I ate my leftovers-based lunch instead of running out for a burger. I suspect that alleged virtue will not last through dinner time.

Congratulations, Betsy!

Now I'm hungry, too. I'm also bummed because Ozzie's, the 1940's lunch counter where I get my egg and olive sandwhiches, is closing at the end of the month.

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

Dear lord. I may never eat again.

Except for the part where I'm having In'N'Out for lunch.

Now I want a burger.

Best burgers I've ever had are at the zoo bar across the street from the National Zoo in DC. (It has an actual name, but I've never heard anyone call it anything other than zoo bar. ) I have yet to find the best burger in Chicago, though generally the quality is way above average for other places I've lived.

More for me! Yippee!

I feel bad for your loss while being completely disgusted...

OK, fuck it. I'm going to the Shake Shack. Maybe I'll just walk home.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Today was no-such-thing-as-a-free-lunch day (aka, staff appreciation day lunch, free if you sell them your labor and spend your entire lunch hour standing in line for greasy stuff day). No burger, but good barbecue. OTOH, the potato salad terrified me.
