Yeah, I'd always prefer to keep my personal life trauma on personal time....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because books.
I did bring her kleenex eventually.
At work, I think most people don't want any more than a closed door, someone to hand them the tissue, and a minute to compose themselves. You did good.

Crying makes you dehydrated, so water. It's also calming and helps you get your breath regulated again.
I prefer to do my crying silently in the last stall in the bathroom like a normal person.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have absolutely never purposely rehydrated after a crying jag. The things you learn.

If I can't get to my car, this or the emergency stairwell will be my choice. Other people==emotional anathema, especially work people.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Glasses of water help? Noted.
They actually do. Rehydration and the repetitive motion of sipping give you (them) a pause.

30 minutes of sanding by hand a night is enough, right? I'm not sure my hands can take much more.

Call me crazy, but can you buy or borrow an electric sander?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Electric sanders are for wussies! Real DIYers scratch the paint off with their fingernails!
Have we heard this, Shakespeare's plays done in the original accent? I'm enchanted.

I have an electric sander, but pretty much have to do these bits by hand. It's the curved bits of the rail.

Concave curved, I should mention. The convex, I can go over with the sander in all but a few places.
