olive woke me before dawn. maybe the wind. she jumped on top of the dresser and threw my elephant on skateboard down. i yell get down and she sidles up by my side. after breakfast and birdwatch she's back in her blue chair snoozing. i get like six hours sleep, maybe it's enough, but i feel groggy. r. says when have you ever not felt groggy. you're right. maybe since i was an actual kid?
