I don't even know what's happening. Everyone from LA and New York is moving here. And for me to take her somewhere 15 minutes away would have been like an hour of something and driving. And I really didn't have any good reason not to drive her. And I had this immediate thought that if I had a migraine...

or a cold or really bad, really super bad menstrual cramps or something that I could just be like, oh, I can't, I'm sick or whatever. Right. And then what would I get? I would get, first of all, off the hook. I wouldn't have to do this thing. I inexplicably didn't feel like doing or explicably didn't feel like doing. And then I would get, you know, her understanding.

and I might even get like a kind of softness and gentleness, and maybe she would be like extra nice to me or whatever. I'd get all that stuff. So I'd get the not doing the thing that I didn't want to do, and then I'd get extra bonuses, right?

So when you think about like anybody who has a chronic diagnosis, or it's not even just chronic, because I could tell you lots of stories about like, you know, things I, weird things I manifested right before I would like, start traveling with my daughters as a single woman, which I had like a lot of blocks and resistance to doing.

And so I would like develop a weird like dental pain or something like right before we're about to like take off to Paris or whatever. And so it was almost a way for me to construct subconsciously, of course, a way for them to be like, to lower their expectations a bit.

So when I look at it through that lens, I'm asking these questions, right? I'm asking, what do I get to say, do, and be because of this, right? What do I receive because of this?
