Sickness becomes her
Great news! I may only have to live through another year of being sick with everything under the sun and then I'll be hunky dory. I was just talking to a woman this morning who said that when she and her husband first moved to this mid-sized Canadian city 10 years ago they were sick on and off, almost every day, for two years. This was partially due to the slightly higher altitude and dry weather, and resulted in any number of health-related problems that could not be explained by conventional doctors. But, after those two miserable years they were fine and haven't been sick since. Doesn't that story just warm your heart? If the theory can be applied to me, it means that my body is in fact allergic to this city, but will only be for another year, and then I can continue to live the rest of my long, boring life in complete happiness (if such a thing is possible here). So only another year of stomach pains, headaches, unexplainable allergies, nosebleeds, and then I'll be fine? Fantastic. Should I just kill myself now, or would someone else like to do it?

Why don't we just run away and live somewhere hot and sunny?

You should write a book with a character based on all your experiences in this town.
The sickness, the religious conservatism, the conservatism in general...the insane security guards.

Oh I will write a book about it, don't you worry about that! All I need to do is find a publisher who likes stories of walking medical anomalies living in dry, Christian mid-sized Canadian cities ... I'm sure there is a market for that, right?
