Ten.One Thousand, One Hundred & Thirty-Four

1. 3:30am on the dot. I knew it would happen. I’m turning into my mother.

2. What are those noises? Probably acorns hitting the roof and the deck.

3. Rolled up yoga mat on the floor. I miss my practice.

4. 5:45am and still so dark; autumn is coming.

5. I draft all of the emails, look at everything again. Today will be a busy day.

6. Phone keeps buzzing. Should turn notifications off.

7. There are many lists and the lists are very long.

8. I take a break and walk down the deck stairs and stand under a tree. Tiny lizard scurries by my toe. Maybe that can be the pet they keep asking for. No. Last thing I need is someone telling me they lost the lizard somewhere in the house.

9. I walk around to the front of the house to catch some sun and lay down on the front the deck with my eyes closed. This will be a good spot on sunny winter days.

10. I do miss the people though. I really do miss my people.
