some robots came by excitedly, leaving five hamsters quietly jumping

my first night of jotting down my dreams was very interesting. i had at least 4 different dreams – all still quite clear in my mind when i woke up to go to pee at 5 am, but they began to vanish within seconds so i had to quickly write them down.

i was informed today that i get to go on a business trip to montreal in may. i'm very excited because i've been wanting to go to there, and i was determined this was the year to do it. i leave on a tuesday, and my business there concludes on the friday, but i've decided to stay in a hostel that night and come home late saturday night. how exciting, a 4 day trip to montreal AND my first time staying in a hostel. i'm loving this year of doing things i've never done before. what a fantastic idea that was!

i've reopened my balcony for business. i got my green camper chair set up out there, my little rug, and my pots in place. this was also the day i decided to let the cats out there for the first time. it's such an awesome space, it's seriously my favourite place to be. standing out on my huge balcony was a bizarre sensation because it feels like i'm some place i've been absent from for a long time, and yet it's my house! where i've been pretty much every day for the last two years!

i have this problem where i can't open my tea-ball. it's stuck or too tight or too damp, and i can't twist it open. it's very frustrating because i badly needed a cup of monks blend this evening, and was forced to make it in a small teapot and use a strainer. i guess it worked ok, but it's just annoying not being about to open it with my little weak hands.

i stole some tea from your house.

sometimes you know more is less.
