Ten.One Thousand, Seven Hundred & Twenty-Five

1. Really need coffee.

2. She tells me about how she only has two more days until her vacation begins and that this Friday is her birthday and I am trying to find her name tag because even though we talk all the time, I can’t remember her name. I can’t remember many things these days.

3. I drop the container and a waterfall of orange juice pours onto the floor.

4. He tells me I am having trouble holding things these days. “My hands,” I say. Some mornings, I can barely hold on to anything.

5. Two calls, one lasagna, then to the gym for inventory and work while they play.

6. I try not to be frustrated.

7. He tells me about an article he read about foxes giving birth under decks. I’d rather it be foxes than the rattlesnakes they talked about at work.

8. Time for a change.

9. Paloma Hermosa. Fried olives and pistachios. Burger, no bun. Maggy Hawk Pinot Noir. Key Lime pie and a french press of decaf.

10. I’d like the convenience but I would miss the beauty.
