Ten.One Thousand, Five Hundred & Forty-Six

1. 4:14 am. Oh boy.

2. But there are things to do and I can do them now if I get up.

3. Two eggs, scrambled. Three pieces of bacon. One liter of water. Patiently waiting for the sun to rise.

4. “I got my contacts on in one try!”

5. “Alisha! Are you feeling strong today?” “Barrels?” “Barrels.”

6. “I said I wanted to be as good as him by the end of harvest, but now I’m beginning to wonder if that’s really a goal I want to achieve.” She laughs.

7. PB & J.

8. We head down the hill. Left, or right? Wait. They are very particular. I need to slow down and think this through. I glance over and look down at the dry river bed below.

9. Good attitudes.

10. Probably shouldn’t have finished that cold coffee at 5:00pm.
