In the morning clean the kitchen while watching “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” (1993). In the afternoon walk down to the lakefront. Check out the Triathlon races. At night go to the Five O’Clock steakhouse for dinner. The steak is way to big to finish. Take home leftovers.

In the morning drive to the courthouse. Go in for hearings. Walk to the office. Work on several files. Drive to Lorena’s house. Run up and down the sidewalk with Xena. We race to a tie. Then she rips my heart out of my chest in order to slow me down before the next race. I respond by placing an order on my phone to get a robot heart delivered. Xena intercepts that delivery by grabbing the package from the mailman and throwing the robot heart into the garbage. I die on the sidewalk. Xena revives me using a magic spell. We run another race. I lose that one though because she gave herself the speed force powers.
