This is what afternoons off are for.

I just picked up the phone and appealed
For a package to come to me, sealed.
It's a presenty piece
For my bot's age increase,
But its nature will not be revealed!

Today has thus far included vegan chocolate cake at work, being gratuitously old-fashioned by wandering around the office in my delicate and lovely shawl which is actually an unfinished crocheting project, going home early, a pleasantly productive call to my doctor's office, a pleasantly productive call to somewhere else as per the above limerick, and burning my tongue pretty badly on the molten lotus paste in the middle of a rather freezer-burned steamed bun. All told, I think I'm doing pretty well.

Now: Chinatown, or no Chinatown?

Arrrrgh! The suspense!
If it arrives at the house, you'd better hide it right away. Otherwise it won't be a secret for long...

Yes, of course he's a robot. He's a robot made of cookies!

If I ask whether going to Chinatown is better than staying at home and finishing my crocheting, will I be relentlessly mocked?

Hey, I get home earlier than you, remember? It'll be hidden before you even know it's arrived.

are you having a party, robot?

But our house isn't that large. My hunting skills are sharp.

Hmmmm... A party. I suppose it could be a combo belated housewarming/birthday party. Or it could be an elsewhere (St. Elsewhere) party, so that there's no need to clean. I'll get back to you on that.
