*waves all around*

*waves back*

How are things?

Good! And how about you?

Things are going well over here. It's kind of quiet, even.

I like days like that. Unfortunately mine seems to be starting out sort of busy. I don't like working hard on Fridays!

Chase them out and lock the door.

Good idea, but my work comes in the form of paper. Hundreds and hundreds of pieces of paper. Mounds of paper. Skyscrapers of paper. Rivers of paper. Ok, I'm feeling a little dramatic today.

Would you like a and match, or a and a flamethrower?

Oh, I think one of each ought to do the job.

*slides a match, flamethrower and across the desk*

Happy Monday!

*serves a round of caffeine...*

Yay! Monday!! *takes all three offered shots of caffiene*

How are you today?

I'm fine. Just wading through endless paper work.

How are you?

Would you like a blow torch?

I'm pretty good today. The weekend weather was absolutely gorgeous!

A flamethrower? Please, if you have a spare.

The current weather isn't too shabby, either.

*hands over one slightly used flamethrower*

I wish we could have a whole summer of these sort of mild days with lower humidity. I planted a few tomato and cucumber plants a couple of weeks ago, and was outside yesterday for about half an hour tending to them and got a little bit of a sunburn. It felt so nice out, I didn't realize I was burning until I came inside.

Thank you. The blowtorch will do nicely.

We could have more of this sort of weather... if we re locate.

I hear Hawaii is quite nice.

I've heard that too.

I wonder what it would cost to move there.
