Ten.One Thousand, One Hundred & Thirty-Two

1. Brisk. Dress plus sweater.

2. Naysayer coffee with the neighbor’s bread. Perfect match.

3. I tell him we need a new picture for the press release. I make him get dressed and we head down the street. I give him a glass and some dummy wine. I can hear the feet of locals on their walks, getting in some fresh air before the heat and tourists are out again.

4. That was simple enough.

5. Nothing available for at least two months. I get the beds but they will be on the floor for a little while longer.

6. Load after load after load.

7. To braid, or not to braid?

8. Nap.

9. I take her gift of shishitos and blister them in the leftover bacon fat. The kids love them. They say they would be even better fried. I agree. The little one insists that we need to get a deep fryer for shishitos, but also beignets, donuts, fried chicken, and french fries. He’s not wrong.

10. Still so much to do.
