I could have got out five minutes ago, and I still didn’t want to. (You know those mornings.) My brain was busy replaying every conversation I’ve had lately. Friends who are flat out. Business owners with teams that are stressed, or just plodding. A husband with a lot on. And me, trying to work out how I actual
