Ten.One Thousand, Six Hundred & Fifty-Nine

1. Another sweaty night.

2. I lay in the dark a little longer and then I remember that she will be here soon.

3. I keep my eyes closed until I remember that I actually need to wake up.

4. Dried strawberries.

5. But not too much.

6. It’s bright and clean and quiet. I am silently grateful that she isn’t talking very much. Though she keeps telling me I look too young to have children.

7. These one-hour meetings are always so productive.

8. Shrimp scampi in orzo.

9. Selfishly, maybe more girls from basketball will come. And if they do, then they will be in even better shape next season. And also, I do miss running.

10. Ice cream.
