Don't Worry, Be Happy
In the morning go for a walk to the lagoon. In a bad mood. Throw bread out on the lake for the seagulls. In the afternoon go for another walk. This time in a good mood. Walk up the Oak Leaf trail to Locust Street. Walk to a corner market in Riverwest to get an ice cream sandwich. Walk east to Lake Park. The snow starts to fall very heavily. Walk down to the lakefront. Walk home in a blizzard.
In the morning drive to the jail. Go in for a consultation. In the afternoon drive out to the Mayfair Mall. Sit down on the arm of a couch in front of the Apple Store and do a consultation with another client. Drive out to Brookfield Square. Order a fish fry to go. Take it home and eat it. 2020 is over.
Wake up to a snow covered city. Drive to the jail. Go in for a couple of consultations. Drive out to the House of Correction. Go in for another consultation. Drive home while listening to the Wisconsin Badgers crush Wake Forest in the Mayo Bowl, 42-28. In the late afternoon walk to the lagoon. No ducks or geese. However, I see the tracks of their webbed feet all over the place. This is proof that they were here at some point today. Leave a big pile of seed under the Bodhi tree in a spot where the snow didn’t fall. At night go to Orangetheory.
In the morning walk to the office. Work all day on a variety of tasks. Walk to the post office to drop off the outgoing mail. After I return home it starts to snow. It is light at first and then gets heavier and heavier. It turns into a fairly significant snowstorm. Watch “Wonder Woman 1984” (2020). Not a good movie. Not at all.
In the morning drive down to the lagoon. No ducks. The seed from yesterday is gone though. Go to the office. Work all day. Get a bunch of stuff done. Work until I get tired. Walk to the U.S. Bank tower. Make a deposit there. Walk home. At night sweep all of the shells from the parking lot where I have been putting down piles of bird seed for the Juncos. Lay down a fresh new pile of seed for them. Go to bed early.
In the morning walk down to the lagoon. No ducks. Squirrels are there though. In the afternoon walk up the Oak Leaf trail to Capitol Drive. Stop at Culver’s for a hot fudge sundae. Walk home along the lakefront at sunset. It is gorgeous out. At night walk around downtown while listening to the Packers stomp all over the Tennessee Titans 40-14.
In the morning walk down to the lagoon. No ducks again. In the afternoon walk back down to the lagoon. Still no ducks. Get very tired at sunset. Decide to remain on the couch and surf Youtube. Go to bed early.
In the morning drive down to the lagoon. It is really cold. No ducks. Later that morning walk back down to the lagoon. Still no ducks. In the afternoon drive to Heather’s house. Listen to the Milwaukee Bucks tipoff against the Golden State Warriors. Arrive at Heather’s house. Go in to open presents and eat a delicious steak dinner. The kids are very excited to open the presents I got for them. Watch the Minnesota Vikings get crushed by the New Orleans Saints on Bryce’s iPad.
In the morning drive down to the lagoon. Put out seed for the ducks. Walk down there two more times during the day. They are always waiting for me. Along the way during the second walk to the lagoon, a group of geese fly right past me. What an amazing sight! Go to the office for a bit to work on accounting. Clean the kitchen at night.
In the morning drive down to the lagoon. Put out seed for the ducks. No geese are there. Go to the office. Work all morning. Do a couple of court hearings using my desk computer. In the afternoon drive to Lorena’s house. Drop of Christmas presents for her and Xena. Play hide and seek with Xena. She is constantly laughing and smiling. I have never seen a child so full of positive energy. When I leave she runs to me and hugs me goodbye. At night go to Orangetheory.
