“She needs a new journal. The one she has is problematic. To get to the present, she needs to page through the past, and when she does, she remembers things, and her new journal entries become, for the most part, reactions to the days she regrets, wants to correct, rewrite.”
Dave Eggers, How the Water Feels to the Fishes

Steven Magee
“Pooping became problematic during the hurricane Ian disaster.”
