One month by the numbers

So many varieties of not like yourself

So you’re staying away
A month or more

One month with lots of time
Reading about the Lebanese civil war,
Making bread that takes
Three rises, all different temperatures
Maybe meditating
Maybe working just too hard

One month by the numbers

Two episodes of frozen pipes
2 million people on the Mall
2 chinese food visits
5 fire trucks out last night
1 package of hashbrowns eaten
1 fall from a bike
1 cycle past a presidential limo (confirmed)
1 L of beer consumed at Saloon. Classy
17 min average a day spent in procrastination, v 13 min a day for news
2 grapefruit eaten. I forgot how good grapefruits are
4 hours in skype video. All at once
$11 owed to friends. Probably more.

Oliver Schroer is lovely
I get things ready to mail, and then I forget
Not all jumbo slices are created equal
I am finally bored of beans
