Gee, I didn't even get a shot. They cancelled them twice here.
(To be fair, I've never had a flu shot before, though I was planning to take advantage this year.)

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Kathy, I made a point of warning the nurse that I had a needle phobia and I was trying hard not to wig out, but it might not be easy, so I think I scored the Ninja Storm as a reward for courage under fire.
The sensation of it barely even qualified as "hurt," really. Hey, needle phobia? Fuck you!

Fine. See if I bring you juice when you've got a half-assed flu this weekend.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
See if I bring you juice when you've got a half-assed flu this weekend.
Well, I think one half of this couple needs to start ailing this weekend and fail to garner sympathy for it...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I want to go home now.
Mebbe I can get the flu in the next 5 minutes.

That's okay, because I will trundle you up to the emergency room later on when I'm all robust and you're oozing with full-assed flu.
(Actually, no, I just fret, because I think of poor marvelous Jim Henson, who died suddenly and stupidly of the flu the year I graduated from college, and how when my friends and I heard that news on NPR as we were all driving up to see the Spike & Mike animation festival in Rhinebeck, we all got hushed and sniffly, and I love you EVEN MORE THAN I LOVE JIM HENSON.)

Look at that, a literal case of ill-wishing.

and I love you EVEN MORE THAN I LOVE JIM HENSON.
That's a big love.
