Dear Wigleaf,

I'm writing to you from 4:30 AM, Pacific Time. No, I'm not cool enough to have stayed up until this hour. I've just woken up. Though I'm a morning person, eyes open moments before the alarm on my phone warbles at 5:30 AM, today I am disoriented.

Maybe because 4:30 AM isn't really morning? It's the in-between, the grout that separates and cements night and day. Can one even be awake this early? Or this late?

Anyway, I hope wherever you are, you are sleeping soundly.

Sincerely,
Veronica K.
