CIO <888> 12/26/14 Friday 4:00 P.M. I went to my 1 P.M. appointment. I chatted with a couple of other people while waiting. It was pretty slow downtown today. Possibly people are just staying home in the colder weather during the Holiday time, or maybe some of the more mobile people traveled elsewhere to visit relatives during the holiday time. We might have a few visitors here visiting their relatives too. I chatted with a friend. I have been awake since about 7 P.M. last night with only six hours sleep yesterday, so I am a bit worn out, if you get my drift. CIO <888> 12/26/14 Friday 11:55 A.M.
