3:04pm, pacific standard time, new apartment in Dana Point, California, USA, Friday afternoon, February 10, 2023. Picked up the keys for the apartment in Dana Point. The moment feels surreal. In many ways I never left the area because my daughter and her mom lived here. On the other hand, I have only been a guest, sleeping on their couch, for two years. And for the last six months I more or less lived out of my car and stayed in hotels for work. Now, I have a home again. The final step is getting my furniture and closing out the apartment in Arizona. It isn’t perfect but at least I have some stability and a place to call home.
