2021 December 20

Day. 56⁰ Partly cloudy this morning then clearing. Highs in the upper 50s. East winds around 5 mph.
Night. 39⁰ Clear in the evening then becoming partly cloudy. Patchy fog after midnight. Cold with lows in the mid 30s. East winds around 5 mph, becoming north after midnight.

Today we started out at Lakeline as usual. However, we received a call that they needed me to go down to Barton Creek Square Mall and cover for their Santas. One has had major surgery and the other one was sick. So we got down there as quickly as we could. Not knowing where we were going because we’ve never been there before,. We only got a little lost before we found our way.
Ella was not needed to work. So she had about 6 hours to wait for me to get off work.
We worked there until a little after 8. Got out of the mall about 8:30 and made it home right around 9.
These long days may be good for the bank account but they’re not good for old people.

ELLA POSTED: We had another long day today. When we were finished at Lakeline Mall we hurried down to Barton Creek Mall where Tom worked until 8. The Santas there were sick today. We’d never been there. So, our hurry didn’t seem too fast.
