SO? SO-SO!

I should protest,  but I would be insensitive.   You have enough on your plate (literally) to deal with, so I show mercy. I was happy to lounge here dans le palace de self pity, but you came knocking and I opened up once more.   You keep taking kindness for weakness,  you will one day be unpleasantly surprised!  Have fun there, and I'll have fun here.  I won't come, and I won't complain.  The trip there is not much different for me than a trip to Coral Springs.  I just have to make my mind up and do it, and that's just what I did.  Now you would punish me for my rudeness - you punish yourself, and go too far.

Our Final Words?

When I count the costs, and balance our efforts, I get a little confused. Have you though this through. ?

Alone again, naturally...
