Mangled novels and game little seedlings.

whathoWord has seen fit to convert my novel into squares and symbols and to spread the teeming great nonsense of it over 257 pages. I have been happier. I don't entirely know what to do. It's not particularly dire because a pre-May 25th draft is saved on two different harddrives, but it looks as though I'm going to lose yesterday's very useful revisions unless I can somehow scrape them out of the strange hieroglyphic mess.
I had my hair cut very slightly this morning. Really what I wanted them to do was suspend its growth at the point it had reached, but they weren't up for that, so I let them lop an inch off instead. I still dream of the hairdresser who, when I start to make small talk about the weather, says 'Shhhhh. I am paid to cut your hair, not to chat'. It will never happen.
What else. Sunflowers. They've all stalled a bit because we don't have much in the way of sun, but there have been no casualties. Runtface continues to turn into the light and his little stem is impressively tough, though he still has a big brown stain and is absurdly small. But so game. Number 6 is currently giving cause for minor concern. It isn't bothering with second leaves, which is awkward because the first set are due to drop off pretty soon. And it has a pale and floppy stem.
If any of the sunflowers die, by the way, do you want me to post you their laminated corpses?
