1. When will I sleep again?

2. Yes, I know it takes me longer to get ready these days.

3. She asks me if I have my Juneteenth ties and wares. I think she’s confused me for someone else. But now I have a Juneteenth tie.

4. Black cod and vegetables at a BBQ joint

5. Oh captain, my captain.

6. All I can think about is the stack of statistics homework waiting for me on Sunday.

7. I wonder what it must feel like to be a normal person who doesn’t think about their car flipping into the water every time they go over a bridge.

8. The water of the bay is choppy. Murky waters cresting and crashing. Dangerous waters.

9. I just need a morning off.

10. Whatever is happening in the backseat is making me laugh so hard my stomach hurts.

11. Still can’t sleep.
