That trip-and-fall exercise actually made our dialogue worse.

Right, the dead grinder situation is so real. My espresso machine broke last month and instant was the only thing between me and being a zombie. Saved my butt, and my snobby roommate didn't even notice.

For me, it was getting totally lost on a hiking trail last fall. The main path was washed out and my phone had no signal. Instead of fighting it, I just sat on a rock for a minute and watched the squirrels. They kept darting through this one thicket, and it turned out to be a perfect little game trail that hooked right back to the parking lot. Sometimes you just have to stop pushing and watch what's already working.
