but writing is a
time to have my own thoughts.
I'm being interrupted by the child asking what I'm writing.
He heard the timer.
I was thinking of a new owner of a restaurant
What are owners. I mean, really, is there any sense to having such a strong sense of ownership... Is

I think it makes sense to be like, oh yeah, here's this thing that I use all the time.
This kid.
He's got questions. I want to give him all my attention, but he only starts asking when I'm doing something else, lol. Like this. I satisfied his curiosity about dingoes. I wonder what prompted it.
I'm back, but the flow...well, it never flew. I need to go through the many many emails that have built up. I should go do that now. It's overwhelming my mind.
Ugh, I wanted to talk philosophically about ownership and what it might mean outside of the the legal question. Like, there's reasons to want something to "belong" to you, in that you want to know you can use it when you need it. But libraries are like that, and we don't "own" them. Dogs seem to have some sense of ownership over toys...how do they understand it?
