Yesterday's long-winded Plucky Girl In The Face Of Adversity post could really have been summed up in a heck of a lot fewer words.

Background:

1) My feet are @#$!d up
2) #1 will never go away
3) I seriously hate both #1 and #2

The Main Point:

4) #3 will never go away
5) #4 is kind of sane, really.

There. Simple!
