Ten.Two Thousand, Five Hundred & Sixteen

1. I try to ignore the turkey but he/she is so loud. Incessant. Aggressive. I am clearly supposed to get up and out of bed this morning.

2. Bag on my left elbow, coffee cup in my left hand, right hand with a phone up to my ear. I miss a step or make a misstep or something, and fall on my hands and knees on the stone. The housekeeper rushes over to ask me if I’m okay. The liquid I feel dripping down my finger is not blood, but coffee. I am amazed that I’m not more hurt than I am. Hikes + weight lifting = not breaking a bone today.

3. AG1.

4. I tell her it’s not my fault. I always have my hands full. Really, should always have a hand on the railing.

5. So many questions.

6. Already so warm.

7. I thought I’d feel it tomorrow, but I’m feeling it today.

8. I hear a voice over a loudspeaker and remember that it’s the day of the Forbes celebration. I consider walking down onto the greens and sneaking in, but talk myself out of it.

9. It’s already started.

10. Too hot to sleep.
