friday

my favorite day of the week, a day of summing up, shoring up, letting go, contemplating. a day for laying the bad and the good to rest. 

on friday, i clean the house and listen to african music really loud. dan comes home and takes a nap, because it’s over. i make dinner. i do lots of laundry and fold it while we watch the rangers. i think about the past week. i think about all the ways i’ll try to be better next week. we make a pot of tea, or drink beer, or both. we stay up late reading. we make plans. we sleep on clean sheets. we remember and forget, we praise and forgive. we slow down our minds and hearts and create some clean space.
