Ten.One Thousand, Seven Hundred & Eighty-Seven

1. Birds, birds, birds.

2. I remember that she needs things in order to bake the treats for her class.

3. I get back home and unload the milk, the boxes of brownie mix, the orange juice. No eggs.

4. I make my way down the stairs and see a carton on the ground. We talk through the window. He is in quarantine like almost everyone I know.

5. Stress sweat from pivoting on the fly. Frustrated because maybe it shouldn’t have been this hard but all of this is just a learning moment. What will I do differently next time?

6. Shoot snacks down to the gate house.

7. Thankfully, we are in the shade. The ceremony is quick - the benefit of being in such a small school They call the names in his class first. No blazer because they were supposed to be in their tye-dye. No more elementary school.

8. I can barely keep my eyes open.

9. No air in the office.

10. The first time in a long time that all five of us are sitting down together for dinner - and talking. So ready for summer.
