In the morning drive to the courthouse. See a dead cockroach on my way into the building. In the afternoon walk to the office. Work on several files. At sunset walk around downtown and put out peanuts for the squirrels. Sit down on a bench in Red Arrow Park. Start going through my iPhone. Look up. See a colorful sky.

In the morning walk to the office. My legs are very sore. This is probably from Covid. I am used to feeling like that from Orangetheory and my long walks so I shrug it off. Make two phone calls to client’s locked up in prisons up north. Walk home. Lay around most of the rest of the day.
