Ten.One Thousand, Five Hundred & Seventy-Six

1. So cold.

2. Out of coffee.

3. Empty streets. Catching the colors of sunrise.

4. No one is here yet.

5. Part of the frustration is my own fault. Did I communicate effectively? Did I make assumptions? How do we not have it happen again? Was the buy-in is not as strong as I thought?

6. More coffee.

7. Everywhere I go, I am cold.

8. Inside my head, there exists a list of things that must be done but I cannot see the words. Too tired to think, I think.

9. I make a pot of tea and find a collection of stories by Alice Munro to read. This one is dog-eared. I will start with this one.

10. Lights on. Voices. He’s rummaging through baskets of clothes. I yell at him to move faster, he’s taking too long, his friends are waiting.
