Ten.One Thousand, Four Hundred & Ninety-Six

1. In this dream, someone has stolen my shoes from outside the front door. They are my only shoes. The only way for me to retrieve them is to play a weird game where I must chase after people in New York City. I am incredibly angry that someone has stolen my only pair of shoes.

2. In this dream, he and I and a few other wine people are visiting with the winemaker. We are gathered around him as he tells story after story. He gets tired and he goes to rest. We leave.

3. Heading down the valley to do our grocery shopping and seeing the hot air balloons dotting the skyline never gets old.

4. We wander slowly.

5. “Another feather,” I say. “Good signs,” I say. I find three in total.

6. I tell him I don’t want help because I am using this time to work out the problem in my head.

7. Sweat dripping down my face.

8. She’s calling to cancel her tasting because the friend she saw last week, the friend that is vaccinated, tested positive for COVID.

9. Satisfied.

10. Easy dinner on the grill. Bartholomew Estates Marsanne Roussanne blend.
