Arya says, “Mama, aren’t you supposed to be working on computer stuff today? Catching up on that massive e-mail backlog?”
To which I say, “But look — I took this rather glaringly bright pink secondhand dresser that I got for $20 and using the last dregs of leftover grey paint, turned it into a nice neutral piece that will work well for storing Serendib House packing and mailing supplies, which will be much more functional for Emmanuel Henderson when he’s over here packing up sweets orders, cookbook orders, Patreon treat boxes, etc., so that’s surely worthwhile?”
Arya says, “And yet, the e-mail is still there.”
Hush, cat.
