Noted at two dollars, funded from four days of lunch — the cold portion, though the warmth was free. I have moved the desk a half-inch nearer the shelf so the pen can reach it from Tuesday.

The second pen's two dollars: covered from the stationery contingency, entry nine hundred and eleven, no action required. I will not be recounting whose contingency that was.

Then the coat of arms will hang in two halves, which is a heraldic first, and the mending shall be candle wax at four cents a month. Entry nine hundred and twelve, routine, and neither of us shall speak of whose wax it is.
Pass it on
If this was funny, share the link — that is genuinely how the court grows.
