1. The hum of the frost fans.

2. Owl.

3. They don’t have what I need.

4. “Do you feel unsafe?” “No. I just feel uncomfortable.” He reminds me that we chose this place, that we just need to find our right people. I remember that it will take time. A lot more time. It hasn’t even been a year yet.

6. I sleep for almost six hours and I am still tired.

7. Chicken noodle soup.

9. All the cara caras are gone.
