Ten.One Thousand, Six Hundred & Seventy-Three

1. Don’t want to get up.

2. I hear him loading logs into the fireplace. It is a good morning for a fire.

3. I accidentally fall asleep during savasana. I wake up right before she says namaste.

4. Chardonnay musque clone?

5. Might already be too hot for this thin vest.

6. I talk to him at half time, tell him that we’ve from Naperville, tell him that we live here in town in case he needs anything. “Saint Helena?” “Yes, Saint Helena.” “I like the slower pace.” “Me too.” We exchange numbers. Selfishly, I am already brainstorming ways in which I can entice him to stay here. Maybe we need someone like him, just like I need the others.

7. I realize I need to do something to ease his fear.

8. No one here but me and I’m cleaning. I should be reading.

9. Can’t stop thinking about basketball.

10. So glad the frogs are back.
