Home, after leaving work early. I pick the mail up from the box and flip through it. Bills, mostly. I should have paid them weeks ago, but the bank won't let me write checks until the dollar amount in my account is above zero. Inside the house, I drop the envelopes on the stack of overdue library books sitting on the counter.

So much I'm needing to take care of—tomorrow.
