Coworker: "There's no wind out there! There aren't any trees!"
Me: "…beg your pardon? What do trees have to do with wind?"

We’re in the middle of a remodel, so there’s a big sign at the entrance: "Please Excuse Our Appearance." I’m standing right next to it as an elderly couple comes in.

- Attempt #2 at pineapple-from-trimmed-top has NEW LEAVES.
- I am also fairly sure that attempt #2 at lemongrass is taller than it was when we set off on our terrible adventures about ten days ago.
- Actual bed. Favourite mattress.
- I got to make someone's entire day by sending an "... I think I have your object" e-mail.
- Leftovers for dinner: curry from the crew party on Sunday night. Didn't have to think about food. Extremely grateful for this fact.
