Ten.One Thousand, Five Hundred & Fifty-Five

1. I wake up and think it’s Saturday. But then quickly remember that it is only Friday.

2. All black.

3. We run through the plan for the day. Who’s taking who where. At what times? We both have open gyms and she has practice. He gets out early. He has a meeting in the city. It would be easier if they could walk home.

4. I sit in the chair and stare out into the trees. He’s right. It will be hard for me to give this up. And the season is changing and what I want most is to root down and get cozy, not think about the next place. How much longer can we make this work?

5. Fruit day.

6. I see it on his face. He wants to know who changed the playlist.

7. Even more show up. There is talent here. There is potential. We care enough to make a difference.

8. Some things you can’t force.

9. He offers to clean the table for me so that I can wash my face and lay down.

10. Tomorrow really is Saturday.
