Ten.One Thousand, Six Hundred & Ninety-Three

1. The bite of the chill.

2. The floorboard heater is burning the tops of my toes.

3. Always just a few more things I need to do that can’t get done.

4. I can’t help myself and get two OG donuts.

5. I tell her that I’ve already made peace with the fact that I have to leave. That I’m not even cleaning, just thinking about what needs to go in the trash so I can prepare to pack.

6. I tell her that there were moments I didn’t know if it was the right thing to do. But I’m still glad we did it.

7. I just need space to visualize what could be next.

8. We figured it out. We figured it out. I send him an email with a lot of exclamation marks.

9. Perception.

10. Very tired.
