	[When the package arrives, there's confusion, initially, but the laughter that comes at the pop up blocks echoes down the hallway from his office. Moments later, a message through the journals from October] There was no need to thank me, but you are welcome, nonetheless. Things have been better, I presume? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[Not loopy at all.] We're making progress. Thanks. Did you like them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Considering my laughter had four nurses ducking in to make sure that I was all right, yes, I liked them. And I'm glad to know that there's been progress. I was just thinking of contacting you when the package came. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He's very smug. He likes making people laugh. It makes-- never mind, we don't have a word for that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This Doctor sounds like an... interesting person. Truly interesting, which cannot be said for many people here, I've found. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Sunny & The Doctor/October number11 2012-12-08 07:03 am UTC (link)
	I can't say. He's too big for one thing. He's not even a concept. He's a force. It's not... nice. But he is nice, sometimes. And sometimes he's not. We blend up. He made the puzzle, but it was my idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Sunny & The Doctor/October breadcrumb 2012-12-08 09:13 pm UTC (link)
	But you're managing with him, now? That is the important thing, I've found. [...] Thank you. For the puzzle, and the smile. The nurses here say I don't smile enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We go back and forth and up and down and all the other ways, too. It's like being off balance all the time, don't really like it much. Why do you not smile enough? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Sunny & The Doctor/October breadcrumb 2012-12-09 10:44 pm UTC (link)
	I would say that I can only imagine, but I'm not entirely sure I can do that given what you have told me of him. Too serious, I'm told. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe it's not worth your head. He doesn't like me saying it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wish it was that easy. Enough people get lost in the system without me taking a vacation from it all, unfortunately. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You make it sound so simple. The world may go on, but I'm not sure that I know how to do without my work. Therein lies the real problem. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Sunny & The Doctor/October breadcrumb 2012-12-10 04:25 am UTC (link)
	Play hooky. Where I'll spend the afternoon thinking of the patients I could be seeing and the work that I could be getting done. I don't relax, Sunny. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Sunny & The Doctor/October number11 2012-12-10 04:28 am UTC (link)

	Re: Sunny & The Doctor/October breadcrumb 2012-12-10 04:45 am UTC (link)
	I would tell you to make yourself take a day off and not think about work. To get out of town, if that was what it took. And I am not a big baby. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Sunny & The Doctor/October number11 2012-12-10 04:49 am UTC (link)
	There you go. So get on with it. You don't want the Doctor to take steps. He'd kidnap you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Sunny & The Doctor/October breadcrumb 2012-12-10 04:52 am UTC (link)
	And I've already told you that I can't take a day off. Or an afternoon. The moment I did, something would happen and I would regret it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not laughing or smiling often does not equate to falling apart, Sunny. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe for some. Not for me. I know the signs of being overworked, the signs of stress, and I've none of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Sunny & The Doctor/October number11 2012-12-10 05:27 am UTC (link)

	Re: Sunny & The Doctor/October breadcrumb 2012-12-10 05:31 am UTC (link)
	People need someone they can rely on to be there when they need it. I can't be that person if I'm more concerned with myself. I have to put that aside in favor of them. I chose this career, and I knew quite well what I was getting into. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know you're trying to help, but you don't owe me anything. I mean that. [...] I've a night off this week. Maybe we could meet for dinner? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Sunny & The Doctor/October number11 2012-12-10 11:49 pm UTC (link)
