started off as usual then i got switched over to "smalls" and ended up doing a number of different functions. the more cross trained i am, the better. got done at 8:30-ish. told them i'd consider coming in on thursdays.
got about 4 hours of charge left plus the backup battery. i can skip the metro if i take a nap in the morning. hit SK around 2:30, get tacos and head over and start cooking.
it's still overcast and cool. better to nap now i think.
i napped until almost noon when i got a text from derek informing me of the 6pm curfew mandated by LA county. even though arcadia was enforcing an 8pm curfew, i decided not to take the risk and to serve dinner at 5pm instead, hoping that at least a few people would be there. it was gratifying to see two regulars i've referred to as webster and wayne in another blog, saying that they figured i'd come before the curfew. actually, it's more than gratifying; it's more a validation of the impact i've had on at least two people. as it turns out, we actually had 9-10 people eventually show up for dinner, and i asked them to let everyone else know that if the curfew persists, we'll do dinner at 5pm instead.
got back, got everything cleaned up and was out before derek's ex showed up with their son whose custody is shared by the two of them. currently parked on the street, but thinking that i might as well go back to fedex and sleep there since i'm going to have to go to the metro to recharge since i can't sleep in the driveway tonight. i'll wait until about 8pm to go though.
there a number of people in the lot at the far end including a car with what appeared to be three kids; others are using the lot as a place to go/stay/sleep; my predictament is not all that unusual.
