I think I got a splinter in my tongue from the ice cream bar stick.

Some days are worse than others, but I think it will always haunt me. I want your help, but there's nothing you can do. Part of me hopes it haunts them too, but I know it doesn't.

You did say to let you know if I need anything and I'm starting to think you might really mean it, but I've been burned with this before and I'm not sure this qualifies, or if I want to use a favor on it; even if you are the only one I can think of who might be able to do anything. When I pull someone else into these situations it puts them in very awkward positions. My family members are one thing, but you're different. If I do nothing, it just continues to torture me, no problem.

My head is killing me, 3 doses of medication over the last 5 hours have done almost nothing and I'm sick too.
