One of the advantages of getting up early is I get to slack off before work. Do what I wanna do before doing what the boss wants.

Back on the blackbook (linux laptop, only for writing) in the early morning. Maybe I should start here each morning, away from the howling of the internet, start with a shower and words. Maybe that is the way. I always feel better when I get there.

Good morning. Feed Gus a tube because we are out of soft food (More is coming tonight, my dear one, don’t cry). Coffee and a pbj. Read an essay about Terrence Malick, finding the story in the edit. I found myself in the edit.
