JZ, that would be swell.
I sent over a bunch of paperwork to Charlie's niece today (she's a mortgage broker) and I am on pins and needles to see if she thinks I have a chance at pre-approval. That's the first step.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

I need to start getting my paperwork in order, too: if (as I am told) they're announcing my job next week, that means I might actually be re-employed permanently by the end of July. (Maybe. This place puts the "deliberate" in "all deliberate speed".)
Which means I also need to get cracking on getting my house in order. I should probably stop buying frozen food at TJ's, for one thing. And schedule a bulk pickup.

Yeah. I have NOT been acting like someone trying to buy a house. Um. 'cause up until Sunday I wasn't. Now I am like "I can afford to meet you downtown if you bring da water and I bring the Crystal Light Mix!!"

About the only spinach-like things you can grow indoors are microgreens and sprouts. Outside, spinach is one of those things that takes up a lot of growing space relative to yield. Think about how a bag of spinach cooks down.
Good luck with the house, java.

Okay, so I am really hating the way my spelling is tanking these days.
I just typed "plays" instead of "place". Which I don't get: why did my brain do that? They don't even sound alike to me, unlike the various forms of "their/there/they're". BAH. Stupid brain!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's nothing like intending to ignore someone's email and then bumping into them in the washroom. Well, I'm still going to not answer.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Ai Weiwei is a lovely name.
It is rather. A bit of trivia: his family name, Aì, literally means mugwort or wormwood. It's often used as a phonetic element when transliterating foreign words into Chinese, being the first character in the transliterations of AIDS, Eiffel and Isengard.

Re: spinach. But I could put them on the mostly shaded back deck, do you think?

Spinach will not grow outdoors if your temps are in the 80s, shade or no shade. I've never tried to grow it indoors. For reference, I grow spinach over the winter in GA - it takes snow far better than it takes heat.
