Ten.Eight Hundred & Sixty-Four

  1. In the dream, my father tells me that they got a loan to relocate. I’m not sure how it works, just that it means they are willing to move to us.

  2. I should just get up.

  3. I print out a piece of paper with two instructions. Then I make a sticky note. Then I help him bundle together the completed papers that need to be turned in. I print out an article and then underline all the bits that fit what we’re experiencing. Then I send an email through the school site.

  4. I make sure he leaves with the post-it note that has his two instructions for the day. We’ll see how this goes.

  5. She’s not like most other guests they have on the podcast. Everything is figureoutable.

  6. We decide to split two donuts: one apple fritter and one old fashioned. I realize that if you’re a woman who wants permission to eat, I am your person. I will always eat with you. I will eat all the things with you.

  7. I take notes. Notes about them but also notes about what I can apply to myself.

  8. Notes from a meeting: What is my own true north? How do I optimize my own assets? Find momentum and us it to propel growth. Know/Trust/Respect. Measure what matters and prioritize accordingly. Be patient, active, committed. What drives loyalty, connection? Lead with strength.

  9. Black plastic bag stuck to the barbed wire blowing in the wind.

  10. It’s not that hard to talk me into buying fried chicken instead of going home to make homemade pizza dough.
