    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. + +

    "Can I get, uh, a medium frozen chocolate. With vanilla added, too."

    + +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. + +

    "and two sausage, egg, and cheese on a croissant"

    + +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. + +

    "and can i get hashbrowns and a glazed donut as well?"

    + +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 (in a sense of "too big to be overcome"). 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. + +
