Dream 1: I wake up and a tooth falls out of my mouth. I know it’s because I was clenching too tightly and forgot to use the guard. I let out a little whimper as I pull tiny bits of bone out of my mouth.

Dream 2: Julie is there but she is the only person from my current life. The rest of the people are from high school. It’s like some weird kind of high school reunion, Halloween edition. As I’m walking under a stone bridge on the campus, I hear a voice saying my name over and over again. I tell Kara that the building is haunting me. I quicken my steps.

Monday that is also a Sunday. Gratitude.

The sound of rain drops on the roof.

I break down and buy a canister of decaf beans and some oat milk because I just really want a cup of coffee.

I put a cloth on the table and place a bowl of oranges on top. He asks me if I am taking a picture. No. I just wanted a little bit of beauty.

Industry sessions. Every time I do one of these I remember how much I actually enjoy studying wine. Work takes me away from the bits that I enjoy. How do I bring more of that back?

Turns out I really like Madeira.

I worry, even though I know I’m not supposed to worry.

No water tomorrow. Do all the water things today.
