Green tea

There's a street cleaner truck moseying by. The kids and I were fed by 9am. (Leftover latkes for them, potato salad on toast for me :-)

When I woke, I hadn't gotten enough sleep, but I eluded insomnia and I could see the sunny silhouettes of the leafy branches swaying with vigor and felt energized.

I threw open windows (our bedroom feels so much like a treehouse this time of year) and read a few chapters of Plague of Doves.

Gem tripped on the laptop cord and it tumbled to the floor. Nothing was lost except the laptop's mechanism to keep itself physically locked. And a few hours off Cap's life as he tried to figure out whether his book chapter remained intact (it did).

I've got my decaf green tea with a spoonful of honey from New Zealand. Off to my desk to declutter and face some music.

Computer off.
