Sunday night, the sky so stunning we pull off the road to snap a picture. On my final day off we take dance lessons — quick quick slow slow spank the baby turn turn. We video the teacher demonstrating pivots. I do Lizzie’s yoga class, pressure cook lamb, watch Downton Abbey with dark chocolate. Leslie and I talk intentions and goals. Annabella cleans the kitchen. I set the alarm. I say thank you.
