In the morning drive down to the lagoon. The ducks are out there waiting for me. This is like they used to do last summer and fall. Put out seed for them. When a jogger comes by they are startled. They all fly off at once. This in turn startles the jogger. She suddenly stops and ducks her head as they fly past her. Hillarious. The jogger and the ducks fear each other – yet they have no need to fear one another. Drive home. Do a hearing on my couch over Zoom. Drive to the courthouse for a live hearing. Go to the jail for a consultation. Drive to the House of Correction. Do a consultation over my telephone while sitting in my car with a client away in a prison up north. Go inside the HOC for another consultation. Drive home. Waves of exhaustion come over me as I drive home. The road is bleary. Get home and take a short nap to re-energize. Go to Orangetheory at night.
