It's May Gray outside.6:16am | Sitting back in bed to type this and journal. Carter waits patiently in his crate. H sits on the bed to put his shoes on, then goes into the hallway bathroom to finish his routine.
6:22am | I've written in my 5yr Journal (still going strong) and started my morning pages. H brushes his teeth, puts Chapstick on, and comes over to my side of the bed to kiss me goodbye. He says he'll be home by 5:30pm (it's Tuesday, so he tutors in the library after school). "Love you. Your lunch is on the top shelf," I say. "Oh, thanks!" He says. He goes downstairs to heat up something caffeinated. He's gone by 6:30am.6:45am | Post on IG. Check Ali's feed.6:58am | Finish MPs. Refuse to check email though I consider it. Finish water which is now cold. Get DITL reminder from calendar. Get up to get dressed for running Carter. Stomach feels off.

Sooooooo dumb.7:30am | Run 2m with Carter. Listen to Rebel Creative podcast.8:00 | Routine with Carter. He does "tricks for treats" then follows me upstairs to watch me make the bed before he's allowed up on it. While I start the shower, he barks and does a pig run all over made bed. I shower.
8:15am | Get ready routine. Carter is passed out on the bed. My phone hits memory capacity - need to dump photos.8:37am | Confirming 10:30am mtg. Struggling to decide if I should swing by office first. Prob not worth it. Decide to make breakfast instead. Decide to cook all the veggies so I have leftovers for the next 2 mornings.
