1. Up late again. Maybe I could get used to this? Maybe, I shouldn’t.

2. I tell him about the bad dream that woke me up. “It was going downhill real fast and I needed to get out of it.”

3. Leftover cobbler and coffee. I use restraint and forego the ice cream.

4. Hammock plus coffee plus journal.

5. The helicopters are back.

6. An opportunity for the right person. I am not the right person.

7. Forgot the tortillas.

8. A four-bottle night, she says.

9. ”Don’t start any lives, don’t take any lives.”

10. I’m sad. Usually I am the one doing the leaving.
