I just think Lois McMaster Bujold needs to lie down for a while or fall out of a moving car or have a fairly bad acid trip. Some combination of these experiences may serve to solve the problem.
I mean, if you put her on a fairly bad acid trip and then start driving her around, odds are nonzero she'll fall out of a moving car, and if that happens in that state she'll probably lie down for a good while.
