In reply to Christine Brown. Hello! Mark actually very innocently repeats back what he hears. That is in part what is so entertaining to me; he doesn't apply a logic filter and realize that I could not possibly have said what he thinks he heard.:)

I agree with what Sara said and I’m infinitely glad that Mark knows you’re not going to fry the pets.
It seems Mark might be very amused at repeating what he actually hears you say as he is often successful in making you laugh.
Kinda sweet.

My favorite lines: Dr. Z added that a benefit of the surgery is that the surgeons can “interrogate the tissue” while they are in there. I imagined this as a surgical courtroom drama. Surgeon to sinus tissue: “Do you or do you not have a history of dividing uncontrollably?” “Had you or had you not been given express permission to occupy space in said person’s head?”
Like, so the best lines. I love them with all my word-loving heart.
Line Most Likely To Piss Me Off Because, You Know, It’s The One I Needed to Hear: You can be in reasonable control of what it is reasonable to be in control of.
Your addendum to that — I got a little distracted by the thought that I could be in control of that dangling preposition — made me feel heard.
August 3. Got it. You’re held by hearts here.
