In the morning walk to the office. Work for a while. Drive to the Laundromat off of Windlake Avenue. Give Xena a box with two Rainbow High School dolls inside. She explodes with joy. We run around the parking lot and pretend to fly. In the afternoon walk north on Martin Luther King Drive to Locust. Walk east to the lakefront. Walk along the lakefront back home.

In the morning drive to the courthouse. Go in for several hearings. Drive home. Eat lunch. In the afternoon drive back to the courthouse. Go in for more hearings. Drive home. Walk to the Harley Davidson Museum. Walk around the motorcyles and the people that love Harley. Walk home.

In the morning drive to the House of Correction. Go in for consultations. Drive to Lorena’s house. Run up and down the sidewalk with Xena. She pretends to have taken away all of my superpowers for herself. I chase her to get them back. She is too fast and too powerful. She laughs at me. It is hilarious. Drive to the jail. Go in for consultations. Drive home. Walk up St. Paul Avenue to 27th Street. Walk back down Wisconsin Avenue. Part of the street is shutdown for the outdoor market. It is packed with people.

In the morning drive to the courthouse. Go in for a hearing. Drive home. Walk to the office. Work on a few things. Drive to Lorena’s house. Play with Xena on the sidewalk. Today she pretends she is an airplane. I pick her up and “fly her” to China. Then I “fly” her back to Mexico. We keep running up and down the sidewalk like this until my arms hurt. Then I chase her around the front yard. She is having the best time. In the afternoon drive to the jail. Go in for consultations. Walk down to the lakefront. Walk to Northpoint. Walk up North Avenue.

In the morning drive to the jail. Go in for a consultation. Drive to Sam’s Club. Buy Ice Mountain Water. No Diet Coke though. That is very very disappointing. Drive home. In the afternoon walk south to National Avenue. Several street people try to interact with me as I walk west to 27th Street. A couple of them get angry when I keep walking on by. National Avenue is sleazy today. The sun comes back out after I turn off of National Avenue. Walk back home in the bright sunshine.

In the morning lie around and do very little. Get a haircut at Noon. This gives me some new energy. Walk south to Bay View. Stop to take a picture of a bee on a flower with my iPhone. I am very impressed with the quality of the picture. The quality of the cameras in the iPhones continue to improve over the years. Walk to 16th Street. Stop at Los Comales. Enjoy a plate of tacos. Walk home.

In the morning walk to the office. Work on sending out several billings for closed cases. Drive to Lorena’s house. Today Xena is in her phone playing a game. This game involves a man with a very long arm. Xena directs the long arm around obstacles to take objects away from people and places. She is very involved in this game. Drive home. Walk back to the office. Work all afternoon. Walk back down to the lakefront. Walk home as the sun sets.
