5:52pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA . Wednesday evening, August 17, 2022. Got out of work at 1pm this afternoon, which I wasn’t planning for. Also, it is Wednesday, not Thursday. My daughter and her mom aren’t expecting me until tomorrow night. I didn’t want to disrupt their routine, nor did I want to pay for a hotel, so I drove to Arizona. It was a long drive and there was a dust storm on the way. In hindsight, maybe it wasn’t the best choice.
