- The landlord came by to say the house sold to a nice young couple who want to keep us as tenants and move in upstairs. We’re very happy about this, especially since it means we don’t need to worry about moving and can avoid further nosy strangers traipsing through our home.
- The thing that fell off the car while we were driving was really, really unimportant and can be quite easily/cheaply replaced.
- Escaping to White Rock for the night. Sharing a couple of beers with freshly sliced lemon while watching old black & white movies on a bigass tv. Escape from The Crazy. Decompression. Silence. Even Isak slept through the night.

- Continuing the home cleaning frenzy, necessity being the mother of gumption in this case. The place is looking good.
- Reminiscences. Brittle letters, old mix tapes, high school notes.
- We had to leave our house for the evening showing, so we drove out to New West and found a fun new playground (with a painted tire monster to climb on), went through the cemetery, followed random bridges, and continued the for sale sign treasure hunt. We grabbed some take out on the way home and tried to ignore the signs of complete strangers having poked through all our cupboards and closets.

- An evening wander with the family – we went West this time, coming across vintage cars, lazy cats, community gardens, art projects, gargoyles, a gang of cpr dummies, ripening cherries, and a chipper young dog that frolicked after us for several blocks. To top it off we stopped in the park for Klondike bars and a creamsicle.
- I also discovered another one of those little pink soldiers glued to a telephone pole. I found the last one 2 years ago and am ferociously curious about who hides them. It must be a kindred spirit.
