Ten.One Thousand, Four Hundred & Two

1. Now, the birds are louder than the frogs.

2. No one wants to eat the cereal that is for breakfast. Maybe we’ll get back to me baking something every morning. Maybe we won’t.

3. I should have grabbed a scarf for my legs.

4. Yes, we should be sending in more pitches, but there is still work the industry needs to do. If they want diverse voices, they will have to continue to look for them.

5. I’m not convinced that we don’t still need to build our own tables.

6. I have way less patience. Maybe I need to go back to decaf.

7. I tell him that I miss working with her. I’d work with her again.

8. I could list all the disappointments, but it wouldn’t shift anything.

9. I sit in the hammock and look out at the trees. I hear only the distant chatter of birds. The early evening light is leaking through the canopy. A kiss of a breeze.

10. Raft Antonella. Leftover roasted chicken. I am too tired/frustrated/hot to eat much.
