This is my go-to resource for explaining what it’s like to live with chronic illness to healthy loved ones. Christine is far more eloquent than I could ever be.

Awesome explanation. I also like that she ends up stealing a spoon from the diner.

I hate it. It goes entirely against the style of my thinking. It's also very coarse-grained; under this theory, I routinely engage in fractional reserve spoon-banking. It's my go-to explanation anyway, because it hits the sweet spot of being close enough and easy to explain to just about anyone.
