+
+I described to my sister once, a few weeks ago, about how I order at Dunkin' when she gets something,
+too, and she told me I needed therapy.
+
+i usually get an iced coffee and bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel but. <br> when she gets things too
+it's too much. the food is the most important thing to get; coffee i can make but food is hard. so.
+
+she was concerned that they didn't get the vanilla right in "medium frozen chocolate, add vanilla". So i
+ordered the drink first.
+
+<p class="order">"Can I get, uh, a medium frozen chocolate. With vanilla added, too."</p>
+
+You have to separate the vanilla, see, so it stands out. Give it weight, significance, make it a
+palpable, physical object.
+
+And then she got a sausage egg and cheese on a croissant. but ordering two separate sandwiches is too
+much, god is it. and it sounded good, anyway. if i didn't order two i wouldn't have gotten anything, her
+order
+is more important.
+
+<p class="order">"and two sausage, egg, and cheese on a croissant"</p>
+
+the significant things are first and can stand alone as their own things. but she wanted hashbrowns and
+a donut. how do you overcome ordering FOUR things (remember, the sandwich is one thing just twice). you
+group them.
+
+<p class="order">"and can i get hashbrowns and a glazed donut as well?"</p>
+
+when i told her this she interpreted it as "so you didn't get anything you wanted, then". But i did. I
+wanted to get you what you wanted. And i just needed something to eat so the spiro didn't cause me
+distress. And I can make coffee at home, it's no problem.
+
+But it's important how you order it. A coffee and a coffee and a sandwich and a sandwich and hashbrowns
+and a donut is insurmountable. God, it's monolithic <i>(in a sense of "too big to be overcome")</i>. But
+a coffee and a sandwich (but twice) and a group of two small things? That's only three things, not six.
+
+It's achievable, I swear. Six is too many. Five is too many. Four might be too many. Three is alright.
+Two is perfect. One thing is okay if it's a drink. If it's food it's weird; they sell coffee and
+sometimes food.
+
+welcome to this head. it's nice, sometimes, and we overcome dumb problems that don't really exist in
+weird, silly ways that make sense to us.
