The girl behind the counter carried on a full conversation with what appeared to be her friend and carried out her quarter-hearted transaction with me. Doughnuts remain an occasional indulgence. Breakfast to pacify any trace of grumbling.
Incredibly bright sunlight spikes in as I write this. Pretty amazing how it works like that, as if a hand flipped the switch. I cannot think to get up and turn the blinds on it – seems somehow rude.

Felt my tooth loose in a dream and pulled it out fairly easily to the delight of the classroom. Does this look bad, I asked them, pulling down my bottom lip? There was a gap open in the middle. Damn! We were all laughing. It looks bad, doesn’t it? Everyone was glad not to be me. You’re gonna have to get that replaced, said a friend. It doesn’t cost much. I caught a reflection, but there wasn’t a gap. More closely I looked and pushed my finger back on that tooth and it flopped through, revealing all that was left was the skin of the tooth, a paperish flap that stood back up straight with the other teeth if I didn’t interfere. For a second I thought, well this is good enough, but realized I needed something more substantial.
