1. How do you hold on to this energy?

2. Wants: coffee, creativity, sunshine, yoga with Jayne, a clean house, ocean views.

3. Why do I hear the beeping of a truck backing up at 5:55 am. They are most certainly violating some kind of noise ordinance.

4. Let’s just get it done and over with.

5. My arms feel week. Fridays are the only days I seem to look up.

6. “It’s nice up here,” he says as he starts to toss wood from the back of the truck. “It is. I needed the quiet. It’s just very peaceful.”

7. We carry the wood down the stairs and stack it. I imagine us at some point in the future doing the same thing but on another piece of land north of here, maybe closer to the coast.

8. Why isn’t anyone doing their homework?

9. Wine plus fire plus Christmas lights.

10. So much. Too much. Just enough?
