Auntie, you are too strict with us!

In the morning walk to the office. Work on several files. In the afternoon drive to Lorena’s house. Play football on the sidewalk with Xena. She gets tired of that. She brings out the Rainbow High Dolls. I am the voice for two of the dolls. Xena is their auntie. “Auntie can we go to the store?” Xena says No! “Auntie can we go to a party and drink beer and smoke cigarettes?” Xena says No! “Auntie can we go to the club and dance and twerk for the boys?” Xena says No! “Auntie, you are too strict with us!”. Xena grabs the dolls and throws them on the ground. Xena tells them: “You girls are being bad!” At night drive to 84th and Lincoln Avenue. Walk around West Allis until it gets dark.

United States World Cup hat

In the morning drive to the courthouse. Go in early to get in a jail visit with a client. Go to a long hearing. Drive to Lorena’s house. Xena is sick this morning. Give her a United States World Cup hat. She wears it proudly. Drive back to the courthouse. Go in for another hearing. Stop at the jail for another consultation with a different client. Do another late afternoon hearing. Drive home. Crash on the couch. Watch “Blade Runner 2049” (2017).

Now it is covered in snow
