Ten.One Thousand, Eight Hundred & Eighty-Six

1. Almost time.

2. I remove the dried flowers from my desk, stick them into the compost bin. Cool yet humid air. Quiet.

3. Too much.

4. All of a sudden I am questioning everything.

5. What I want to do is not equal to what I should do.

6. In the shade, it is incredibly comfortable. I sip slowly from the cup while we chat. I am overdressed for the current moment. I watch him catch a touchdown. I laugh a little. I am sad I have to go.

7. Beautiful breeze.

8. I hold the waxy candles against my sweater and then realize that’s a mistake.

9. “What’s with the water today?”

10. “Murder on the Orient Express” I wish I had these kind of sets when I was in high school.

11. I needed this today.
