I appreciate this take. I am thinking of people who don’t tell you when you have kale between your teeth, and how you realize later that the whole time you were talking you had kale between your teeth. A bloody nose seems worse, but also a little insane. I’m wondering what the woman at the dry cleaners is seeing all day that she just carried on. But I like the good intentions take. Maybe she thought it was none of her damn business.
I love this. I feel you were robbed of the opportunity to say “you should see the other guy,” but of course you had no idea your nose was bloody so I guess that wasn’t in the offing regardless. I’m glad your nose is okay, and I thank you for this. I’m sitting here laughing.
“…fog on top of the water like a dropped crinoline.” Just lovely.
“being hit in the flank and responding like a ketchup bottle?” Perfect.
I am fascinated by people who have the good intention to say nothing or don’t stare oddly when something seems off.

Dry cleaner note to self, “Don’t mess with that customer.”
Clearly, they needed a comma after the "Well."
beautiful.
I love this post. There is so much I get to think about in it. ❤️
The scene at the dry cleaner’s is just perfect!
