If inspiration is required, I may be able to assist you in the remaining items.
I’ll let you have berries of my belly. Then maybe you’ll stay a week with me in bed. So no internet;;) Forced to write in a notebook? Perhaps. But after a week in bed we could see an ice museum. There is one every year in the mountains 
how cool is that?! And I could show you my creations. Tiny art gallery, exclusive access. But still boring.. just a tad.. Right?.. So you could come to my ‘playground’. And play;;). Fine, I will light the incense.. and I know some tricks to inspire you to meditate, also. Too much playing? Never! (if you ask me:) ). But I could understand exhaustion, so you can take me up for coffee (yes, dear, I am an artist. I write and paint and love with passion). What a full season.. Yes, good coffee. And unbelievably, I am also a suit. Black suit and high heels. So I can go for a ‘white russian’. Upon invite, of course. If you’d agree to work for me for one day/night, I’m sure I could get you to wear tie if I will wear one too. It’s a statement. I’ll wear just that and nothing else ;;). Sympathy fashion? By the way, there is no specification on this pool. So u’ve already done that, haven’t you? Just that your diving board is really, really low 
. Item 34. seems to be a ‘just do it’, really. I have nothing on that:). The FHM can be a gift from me. You’d deserve a gift, as a faithful employee that you’d have been. Toys? Sure! Bring it on. I love Lego. I used to build the most unusual stuff. Join me, won’t u? And anytime you wanna visit, at home, or at work, in one city or another, I will always be able to offer you a walk on the roof of a tall building. And the city is pretty and full of lights. But perhaps now you feel like talking to an 80 year old. Kinda long talk. Going nowhere, so u’d have to go. And I would understand:). I have to go too.
I am currently ‘building’ a special gift, a table containing a collage of photos and a bit of my painting. You can help, it’s fun to create. Also around 3 o’clock every day I virtually become 8, ‘cause I invariably require chocolate to further function, so please come talk to me around that time of day. After all the chocolate, I would probably love a dance. Waltzing barefoot on the grass, perhaps. If you don’t wanna come over to dance, it’s ok. You can call me and ask me to lunch
