Ten.One Thousand, One Hundred & Sixty-Seven

1. Late.

2. I forgot that at this time of the day no one is really out. Two cars on the road.

3. Birthday morning pastries. 11 today. 11. Almost a teenager. I almost have a house with teenagers in it.

4. Oh yeah, that.

5. I take the call outside just so that I can take a break from being indoors. Slightly clearer skies.

6. Call. Another call. Another call. And more calls tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that.

7. I did not make room for rest in the schedule today and now I feel it.

8. I finally read her text. There is a picture of the tag from her tea bag: “walk beautifully, talk beautifully, live beautifully.” Amen.

9. Take a moment to breathe.

10. Birthday sushi.

11. Wall hit.
