135 DIAGNOSIS

[vicodincrutch]

So it's been about a month since we were trapped in a sand pit or a glass house. And everyone is just as well adjusted as ever. It's like it never happened, right? May as well be a bad movie and a solid tan. Mine's sticking through, thanks for asking.

Now. This could be good news...for people who can't take other kinds of news. I find it more mind numbing and disturbing. We could all be very well cursed with complacency that keeps turbo charged, Energizer style. That would take out the element of our fleeting power of choice. Again.

In other news... in a world without a federal government, no one has to file taxes.

What makes you so certain everyone's gotten over it?

People didn't want a beach party. [This is a meaningful comment.] So, I think it is still felt. But we must move on. It makes it even more important to enjoy the uncursed time we do have.

I think not having to file taxes is a huge plus.

And the desert thing... you've got to let things go, you know? If we freaked out about everything that happened, the City would be awful. Plus, I got to spend time with you in the desert. That wasn't bad.

[She thinks you're kind of adorable, House. Sorry.]

[as_damaged]

What an optimistic way to look at it.

[bedsidemanners]

I don't think adjusted is quite the right term for it.

[intheblanks]

People are carrying on. There's a difference.

[Between that and getting over it. He should know.]
