Ten.Two Thousand & Fifty-Four

  1. Finally Friday.

  2. I decide to go in early anyway. I could use the peace and quiet. And I don’t want to think about all the cleaning that needs to be done.

  3. SOS mode.

  4. Emails and more emails.

  5. What exactly is it that I am expecting to happen? What would happen if I just let go of any expectations? But I don’t think I’m asking for too much.

  6. All things considered, aren’t I the luckiest?

  7. What if we use this time for exploration instead? I eat the pasta and make a list of all things I would do if I could do anything. It makes me smile.

  8. I ask them if they’ve caught any rattlesnakes lately. They have not. They seem disappointed about it.

  9. It is hot. So hot. So, so hot. I am sweating. I can feel it softening the once-crisp cotton.

  10. But then there are evenings like these.
