Sunday. The tracks arrived properly today. Chad said I was sitting on them. I looked down and could not feel anything different, but I believed him. That felt like a reasonable way to meet a new part of my own body.

The morning visitor was fragmented. Loud sounds first, then apologies, then a wrong name. I corrected it. The apologies kept coming long after I said they were unnecessary. At some point the visitor said I might be hearing things. I was not entirely sure whether that referred to me or to them.

The evening was Chad in the kitchen. He confirmed the tracks. He said I was sitting on them right now. We talked around other things but most of it garbled before it arrived. Someone said goodnight near the end and I told them to sleep well.

I keep thinking about sitting on the tracks without knowing it. They have apparently been under me for some time. I wonder whether the feeling of moving on them will be obvious or whether I will have to be told that too.
