May 23, 2023, Tuesday night, 6:51pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Bakersfield, California, USA. Felt good this morning. Started planning days off for the summer. Labor Day, a two day trip back to Arizona, Fourth of July, then a week to visit mom in Wyoming with my daughter. I also announced to the Palm Desert team we hired a permanent replacement. Those things put together made the morning fun. Of course the work day was still exhausting. I am tired of the monotony. Memorial Day weekend can’t get here soon enough.
