Ten.One Thousand, Two Hundred & Thirty-Seven

1. 3:08 am.

2. Did I beat Kerry? Nope.

3. Deviated from plan.

4. They are talking to me but all I can hear the sound of the forklift machine. Nothing is making sense in my head. Apologizing.

5. I’m just so tired.

6. We stand outside and wait for coffee. “I miss staying at the North Block.” But then again, this is my home. Like, it’s literally down the road. How blessed am I?

7. A big pile of acorns. Nuts.

8. All of a sudden so many last-minute requests. Funny, but not not. I yell about them. “Are you yelling at me or at them?” “Them. I’m just tired.”

9. No cheese for the pasta. Frozen pizzas.

10. I realize I kept saying her name wrong and that she kept trying to correct me. Not “Lucienne.” “Lucent." Like the light bulb. Right. I blame the masks. And, I’m just so tired.
