Ten.One Thousand, Three Hundred & Five

1. In the dream, Beyonce has asked me to take her portrait in her home. I have driven all the way to Los Angeles to do this. I have all of the props, but as I walk up the stairs, I realize that I do not have my camera. She tells me that she asked me to come a day early just to make sure everything is set correctly. I am relieved. I can go back home and get my camera. I am not ruined.

2. We should normalize changing one’s mind. Isn’t there a meme about that? Normalize changing one’s mind upon learning new information? Yes.

3. Out of ginger and cinnamon sticks. Why didn’t I buy any tea last week?

4. His eyes look gray, like a wolf. Could be the screen. I don’t know. I am mesmerized and terrified.

5. Sometimes you just have no control over the disruptions of your day.

6. It must be the same robin. Every day it thrusts its body against the window trying to break in. Bird brain.

7. I break the mailbox key. I laugh.

8. Of course she watched it. We text about the characters and the criticism.

9. Familiar faces. Writing in community. I love this. I love, love, love it. This makes me happy. This is worth being late to dinner.

10. The frogs are so, so loud. They make me smile.
