Work on a trial outline for a second case set for Monday. Do a court hearing over Zoom. Drive to Lorena’s house. Play with Xena in the backyard. She puts her coat on backwards. Then I scream out: “Its the girl with no face!”. Then she corrects me: “I have a face!” and pulls down her hood. Drive to Bay View to pick up a fish fry dinner. Drive home.
