Don't Worry, Be Happy

It is very cold today. Winter is not done. The more I walk, the more I warm up. Walk up the Oak Leaf trail out to North Avenue. Put peanuts all over the place as I walk. I see several squirrels running along the trail.
In the morning drive back to the courthouse. Go in for more jury trial. Over the lunch break drive to Lorena’s house. No one is there except for a stray cat sitting under a tree. I yell out: “Hello gato!” to the cat. The cat runs down the street. Drive back to the courthouse. Go in for more jury trial.
In the morning drive to the courthouse. Go in for jury trial. Make opening statements. Start testimony. Over the lunch break drive to Lorena’s house. Xena is there again.

Xena is full of imagination. In the afternoon drive back to the courthouse. Cross examine several witnesses.
In the morning drive to the courthouse. Go in for two jury trials. One is dismissed. The other one goes forward. Over the lunch break drive to Lorena’s house. Xena is there.

In the afternoon drive back to the courthouse for jury selection. After court is over, drive to Target to buy Paw Patrol toys for Xena in case I see her again tomorrow.
