5:17pm, pacific standard time, parking lot, Palm Desert, California, USA, Wednesday evening, February 8, 2023. I ordered dinner from a new restaurant this evening. Now I am sitting in the parking lot, waiting to pick it up. Tomorrow my supervisor is in town for a visit. I am not worried but, it is still stressful. Maybe that is why I have had an underlying sense of despair this week. Right now I feel unmoored. I need to get the apartment in Dana Point set up. Once the moving process starts things should stabilize.
