Snowstorm hits again. Another day is lost. I curse winter. Lay around all day while watching George Washington miniseries from 1984.
Do laundry and watch Supergirl
Spend the day doing laundry and playing Civilization 6. Go for a short walk after dinner. Walk west up St. Paul Avenue to 5th Street. Walk up 5th Street to Michigan Avenue. Walk back east on Michigan Avenue. Watch “Supergirl”.
Brutal cold ruins the day
Go the Criminal Justice Facility in the morning for a court hearing. Walk over to the Safety Building for more hearings. Walk to the U.S. Bank Tower for lunch. Brutal cold is back in it ruins the day for me. Walk back to the office. Get very little work done. Go home frustrated. Go to Orange Theory.
Valentines Day

Drive to Latia’s house to surprise her. She is not home. Leave the flowers and treats at her front door and message her. Go home. Latia messages me back and is very happy. She says it made her day. She sends me heart emoji’s.
Day of Action
Walk to the office in the morning. Organize files. Return e-mails. Make phone calls. Get my list of to-do’s all done. Walk to Water Street to pick up a file from another attorney. Walk home for lunch. Go to the courthouse to pick up discovery from the DA’s office. Go to the jail for consultations. In the late afternoon, walk south on First Street to National Avenue.

Go to Orange Theory. Lay on the couch at the end of the night smiling with pride from my day of action.
Another snowstorm
Another snowstorm hits the city. Go to the office and get very little work done. Walk to the U.S. Bank Tower for lunch. Go home early. Walk up St. Paul Avenue in the snow. Walk across the Marquette campus. Walk back down Wisconsin Avenue.
Filter frustration
Go to court in the morning for jury trial. Adjourned due to too many cases set for trial in the same court. Go home and take a nap. Clean the small filter on the fish tank. It is very frustrating to get it started up again. Go to Orange Theory.

Its Friday
Go to the Safety Building in the morning. Litigate a suppression motion. Try to throw out client’s confession to the police. Run out of time so no decision by the court. While waiting for that case to be called the judge appoints me to represent another defendant. Go home. Fall asleep. Take a nap. Wake up refreshed. Go to Orange Theory. Have a great workout. Relax at night while listening to The Beatles.
