She loved making lists. Sometimes she made lists for herself. They kept her feeling busy, even if she didn’t finish them. Sometimes she made lists for her husband, then nagged him until it was done. Once, she made a list for some guy at the grocery store. It began: clean bathroom / mail thank you notes / call Alfred / go swimming / finish novel. She slipped it into his shopping cart while he wasn’t looking.
