This morning:

1. I woke up before J.
2. I made a pot of gunpowder green tea, according to the directions.
3. I read other people’s blogs.
4. I watched my Ukrainian metal detecting guys on YouTube, CrazySeeker.
5. I wished I was back in bed, but J has to leave for work when it is dark outside.
6. I wish I had known my cousin who was a lesbian and died at age 46 better.
7. I want to visit New York, see a Yankees game, cross The Brooklyn Bridge, and go to the top of the Empire State Building.
8. Swim later today.
9. Sleep in a roomette on a train, and eat in the dining car again.
10. Stop apologizing to myself for who and what I am.
