I texted her that while that brought me great joy and comic relief, it didn't really capture how Chinese Take out also makes me quite Happy AND Sad at the same time.

Are we talking in 'chart' now?

Today was a beautiful day...from 5am til 5:59pm. Then, at 6:00pm, we had exactly 30 minutes of rain. In that tiny window of time, our game was canceled.

Below is a chart that I came up with to best summarize today's weather. It sounds crazy, but I even verbalized this chart while sitting in my car, admitting that when major events occur, the first thought that crosses my mind is 'What chart would best depict that?'.
