The temperatures aren't bitterly cold but they're uncomfortable to a certain degree when you're taking off at 10:00 in the morning to get to your 11:00 downtown. There was sunshine today most in clouds and when the sun was out being out in the or on the tarmac wasn't so bad. I was wearing my nice warm over the head Hood but wearing it as a neck wrap around and that made me very comfortable when I could give it to stay wrapped around my neck. If I had the patience I would stop and put it on the way I'm supposed to so I'm wearing it as a hood but no time for that when you're rolling around waiting for the bus. Today was a dropsy day all day long it seemed like I was dropping things out of my wallet or my bag or I was dropping my cell phone a lot. I dropped it on the bus I dropped it at the assist meeting then I dropped it later on at the restaurant for lunch. I was hyper alert because when I'm in a mood where I'm dropping everything it's also a high probability day that I'm going to lose something important IE either my wallet or my cell phone. Fortunately today I got home with everything and that's a good day.
Today was really the first real assist meeting of the new year. We actually had names that we had to sign and it sounded like somewhere they released monies for our clients so our signing would actually mean something. It was weird though the big boss is gone he's been gone pretty much the whole last 2 months. His daughter just went through a heart transplant she's just 10 or 12 or something like that and so they've had to spend a lot of time at the hospital and such. The office is open and things are getting just seems a little LAX and that's okay I don't have a problem. I noticed that Andreas who is the guy the citizen volunteer committee, that's who we are, as always trying to force the meeting to a close so he can take off and go collect his kid from daycare or preschool or whatever young guys like him have their kids into these days especially the ones that live in the Avenues. Again that's that whole loose thing that make up the staff of the assist organization these days. I really don't mind how long it takes to do our meetings and when we get out. I just hate being held up on silly talk that often the dates are meeting but the main silly talker wasn't there today so that wasn't a problem. We talked a lot today when we weren't signing contracts about the private nonprofits are having to consider now as we get closer and closer to inauguration in the new president-elect. I kind of feel it's going to be kind of iffy for a lot of private nonprofit agencies as well as folks who are low income. The new president isn't one I think the suffer low-income folks very readily. I really think he's going to try to get rid of that population and the folks that serve them as quick as he can once he's totally in the driver's seat and starts to try to bring about some of the promises he made during his campaign. All I can say is it's going to be very interesting to see what this crazy guy does the program who typically are low income
