Meanwhile, I have accomplished a different weeks-old goal by not even focusing on it. Moments ago I passed a kidney stone, my first ever. I suppose it's like that Douglas Adams bit, where the way to learn to fly is to throw yourself at the ground and miss, which you can only accomplish by not thinking about it.
This means my distracted, irritable, insensitive, curmudgeonly days are even closer to being past than expected. Good news, some of you will no doubt think to yourselves.
That unexpected clink! will be forever engraved upon my memory.
