In the morning walk to the office. Work on several files. Drive to Lorena’s house. Play with Xena. Today she has a little doll. I am the voice for the doll. I talk to Xena in the doll’s voice. “Mama, where is my tablet?”, and “Mama, can I go outside and play now?”, and “Mama, I want more ice cream!”. Xena is very patient with her spoiled little daughter. Suddenly it begins to rain heavily. Xena makes a worried face and runs inside. Drive back home. Walk to the office. Work all afternoon until the sun comes back out. Walk down to the lakefront. Walk north to Lake Park. Watch the shadows moving across the beach as the sun begins to set. Walk to the last “Musical Monday” performance of the summer. Walk home in a very good mood. It is dark out and the city lights are on when I make it back home.
