Ten.Nine Hundred & Ninety-Seven

1. Thirsty.

2. Linen for today. I think of the meme that says something about wearing jeans in quarantine. I am that person. I get fully dressed every day. But today, I need linen.

3. I tell him to go back to bed, that it’s too early. He coughs a dry cough but returns to his room.

4. Coffee. Camera. I have to make something. I need to get back into the rhythm of making.

5. Three snails. So slow. Thank you.

6. I had a feeling. This opens up another hour in my day and so I will just enjoy that. I take a mug of tea out to the patio and sit in the sun. The sun feels so good.

7. Her questions make me think about things I hadn’t thought about in so long. Reminder: call them this weekend.

8. Watch party for Uncorked. Almost 200 black folks drinking wine and talking. Prentice Penny and DLynn Proctor hop on and talk with us. Prentice reminds us that it’s a not about winning the battle, it’s about winning the war. You need to figure out which hills are worth dying on.

9. He put together my compost bin. The kids are excited about this which I think is funny. Looks like we’ll need to add horticulture into our homeschooling lessons.

10. Hold the vision, Alisha. Hold the vision. And ask for help.
