You tell your brain that this is something you don't need or want to remember.
Wow, really? I think my brain would decide to remember extra-hard out of spite.
Not necessarily spite, but I think my brain would go, "What's this? Oh, there's a special note on this one! Better keep it right near the top!"
For those of you playing along at home, my mom was moved to rehab on Friday. She's still officially in isolation because of the c.dif, so for at least the next week or so, it sucks extra hard because she's confined to her room until she's officially cleared of the infection (and her roommate is less than charming). This one is in La Jolla, which I'd hoped would be an indicator of a higher level of care, but nope, even in a rich neighborhood, nursing facilities kinda suck. So, work all day, go hang with her for an hour or two in the evening, get home in time to go through the mail, grab a bite of dinner, watch a little TV, sleep. I'm pretty stressed, tired, feeling sorry for myself by the end of the day, but still plugging along.
Epic's brain is also my brain.
Epic, that sounds incredibly difficult. I'm so sorry.
Oh, Epic, that's a lot. The fact that you ARE plugging along is a testament to your strength.
I'm too used to dealing with people who say "I've got 16 gigawhatizts of RAM, that's what Best Buy told me to get, how can my hard drive not have enough room to install the program?"
Yeah, that's the better description in most cases. I'm terrible at explaining things because I try to be very accurate and end up just confusing people more than actually helping them understand.

Well, *I* went "Huh, that's cool" at your explanation.
I really love the spiral metaphor -- never thought of it that way, and it's comforting. Also puts a better spin on "spiral" for me, which is usually downward, panic spiralling.
Epic, that's rough. Wishing you strength, and health for your mom.
Hi Amy!
::sticks out tongue::
Love to you, Epic.
Well, we all just got an extension for our business plans until Friday, but I'm still going to try and finish mine tonight. Too much other stuff to do.
Relatedly, what's a better gender-neutral term than craftsmanship?
::bats eyelashes at smonster::
Artistry? Artisanalty?
Artisan craft? Artisan would work, but I can't find the right form.
