This is all gonna come crashing down around my ears, and I'm gonna be sobbing at some point.
Be crying into the microphone going, "Remember when I said I was a winner? I should never have said that." Just like, just, just a side story here in the wins and sins-
You know, obviously we have our little write-along sessions that we talk about all the time-

And in fact, the whole winter has gone by and neither David nor myself have got sick, and we've just been, you know, we've been so healthy and so fabulous, and blah, blah, blah.
So the universe is listening, and it's gonna come back and bite me on the ass for being so smug about not getting sick, and smug about being a winner.
