Ten.One Thousand, One Hundred & Nineteen

1. Thank goodness. I forgot to set the alarm.

2. Coffee. Snails. Cool morning. I can taste autumn. I can’t wait for autumn.

3. It’s not possible for so much sunshine to get old, is it?

4. Who’s doing to see what’s behind me?

5. Back into the swing of things.

6. That is not at all what I was expecting to hear. But I am also not surprised.

7. I scroll to find the Black Food Folks to see what’s on deck for the day. Yes! Therese. Yes MJ and Sicily.

8. Our chats are my favorite parts of the day.

9. He’s right. I am upset about the car not because I will have to replace it, but because of the nostalgia it holds for me. The car in which we brought him home from the hospital. The car that we drove back and forth from Chicago to Kansas City and to New Orleans. The car that holds way more than you think it can. I mean, I don’t want to buy another car. But also, I’m going to miss this car. But also, can you be that upset about getting 178,000 miles out of a car? She treated us well.

10. I remind myself that his feelings and my feelings are really the feelings but the stress. This is just stress.
