Ten. One Thousand, Eight Hundred & Thirty-Two

1. Already Monday again.

2. It will be easy, just time-consuming.

3. I limit myself to one cup. Just one cup on the white stoneware mug.

4. The office is dark. I hope that doesn’t mean she’s caught COVID.

5. I’ve never been one who enjoyed surprises.

6. “I am the source of time.”

7. I could freak out about it, or I could just sit down and do it.

8. I am almost too tired, too not in the mood. But that changes when I see them sitting out there.

9. But there is something about this time disconnected from responsibility yet present in this real-time with these young women. I am looking forward to the work of the season.

10. The thing is, I can almost always figure it out.
