sentence that follows me to the grocery store and haunts my shopping
experience.

I know exactly what you mean. I often stick them in square brackets — [she walked] — so I can come back to it later. Then, when I finish the story and get all excited about finishing, I come back to it and think “Oh, bugger, this still isn’t done.”
