Of cold medicine, piggy power, and the tension of the night before the big race.

  1. Woodsmoke and ozone.
  2. There’s a disgusting sort of pride that comes from blowing out a sinkful of snot.

  4. I used to nap for an hour and a half at least twice a week just because. Now I’m lucky if I get more than 10 minutes even when I’m deathly ill.
  5. The Rosita/Gunter number always chokes me up.
  6. Does this bring me joy?
  7. Maybe it makes me a buzzkill, but I hope there’s a thunderstorm in the next 10 minutes.
  8. No, YOUR food intake was 75% cake, cookies, and donuts today.
  9. Whose needs go first when everyone needs so much?
  10. He mentioned it last night, but I didn’t feel it myself until this morning. A stirring urgency to get. things. done. These are our last moments of rest before the race begins in earnest tomorrow.
