Ten.One Thousand, Six Hundred

1. Slow to rise.

2. The last bits of apple pie with my coffee. I sprinkle a few walnuts on the top for texture and protein.

3. One day, they will look back on the fact that both of their parents dropped them off at school every morning, and be grateful for it. These little things count, I think.

4. I realize that for the first day in quite a few days, I am actually quite calm about the situation.

5. This is what I miss about wine - the education.

6. This 2018 Mt. Brave Merlot, though.

7. I gather my things and set them by the door. He asks me if I have everything ready. Of course, I do.

8. She complains that her shorts won’t stay up. Coach grabs the extra pair we packed and tossed them to her. “They came in handy,” we say at the same time. “Always be prepared.”

9. 58-18. A win.

10. And to think that this is one of our closer games.
