Ten.Eight Hundred & Fifty-One

1. I should just get up.

2. Clothes into the dryer. I hate clothes shopping but it’s now a necessity.

3. Two of them are up. He reminds me that I need to switch out the candies that have nuts in them. I remind him to ask his sister when she wakes up or to trade them in for the leftover candy that we bought.

4. Today is her last day in the office. You know you have a pretty decent job when you’re going to miss your supervisor.

5. I gladly accept the ride.

6. I grab caramel sauce and maraschino cherries just in case only to see her text a few minutes later saying she grabbed caramel sauce and cherries.

7. I cut some light pink roses from the garden, and a few zinnias and a stem of fennel too just in case. I get a small glass from the bar and take them out to the wine barrel set in between the vines. This is the first proposal I’ve ever helped with.

8. Basically permission to do as one pleases.

9. We decide that a charcuterie board will be a sufficient dinner. They are all still stuffed from yesterday’s tricks and treats.

10. “Everyone should cultivate a secret garden.” - Mating in Captivity
