1:53 am.

I try to tell myself not to panic because if I panic, then I won’t be able to sleep. I try to slow my breathing and listen to the sounds of the waves.

3:26 am. I’m toast.

Well, that was a surprise.

Full day.

I stuff the coffee cake into my mouth before heading out the door. Wishing I had coffee. I’ll drink tea at the office instead.

The dressing is surprisingly good.

“It’s okay,” I say. “People always tell me things.”

Perfect weather. California weather. Gratitudes.

I don’t think anything got done today.
