Good afternoon oust and reve!
That's a big list reve, but writing everything down makes it so much easier to remember what to do.
The dog did want to go out, it's mild but kind of drizzly outside so I will wait with the yard tasks I want to do during this warmup. Temps will reach 50 over the weekend.
My back is bothering me today so I think I'll sit and have lunch now and watch a movie.

The hotspot internet is working beautifully and is saving me money Your morning routine sounds lovely. What a pleasant way to start the day! I've enjoyed reading about your scooter. Wonderful that you have that hotspot now, too.

The day is almost over and I have not cleaned a single bit of my desk!
I prepared a brief for a fair hearing - well, I gathered all of the "evidence" and I explained our position to another attorney. I am not an attorney nor do I play one on tv. But I am expected to act like an attorney and spout caselaw like one. UGH
I ordered a quesadilla for lunch and forgot to ask that the jalapeno's be removed. Boy that first bite caught me unawares!
A local Walmart was closed today. three days before christmas and they were not open. I guess they lost internet and had to close. they tried to stay open for cash only business but I guess not many people carry around that much cash before the holidays.
I had planned on going to the storage unit after work but it is too cold. I will go in the morning. I will drop off my dad's clean clothes after work then head home. And look one last time for the missing gifts for my mom. UGH - I hate this.....

So I have been working on this HUGE community project in my neighborhood. For years the residents of a couple of streets in our neighborhood put out luminaries. A local restaurant owner has kicked it up and taken over and has a very ambitious multiblock plan for luminaries.
I am a neighborhood boss and responsible for two streets - each street is a block long and one is a very short street. The neighbors have been folding bags and today they had a luminary filling party where they assembled all of the luminaries. Made my job easier!! There has been one bossy neighbor who has been jumping in and making me crazy. She did all the work assembling so I was thankful but she has made a couple of us nuts. The "we like you but......" Anyway - I was looking at the map for the distribution on Sunday....and I think I went to HS with her! SHe was a cheerleader and higher up the social strata than I was. Yikes - I wonder if I should mention that to her or not......

It’s been a weird day. Tried to get answers about the power at work. Decided to go there & bring some work there. On the way, I Reached out to my coworker who just went even tho I’d already sent that email. He said he was in the parking lot & the power is out in the whole area. Not just the buildings in our business park. Maybe back in by 11am. I got there at a few minutes before that but building was locked at entrance. Went to another entrance & maintenance guy was just locking up that one. He let me in but said I’d only be able to exit thru one if the emergency doors. I picked up some work things. Headed out toward closest emergency exit down long hallway. . Was so very dark. Phone light helped very little. The exit sign was not lit & no emergency lighting. Aren’t those exit signs supposed to be on with batteries in case of emergency?
Grabbed a bite to eat close by. Boss called. He thought he left his glasses at the office. Electricity back on. I was on my way back home & was still very close to the office, so met him in the parking lot so he could approve a few checks for me to sign & mail. (Was going to review with him over the phone but it’s easier in person. I asked if I could go ahead & work from home since I already had everything in my car. “Yes”.
Just got back from post office. Cd
