September 8-9, 2023, Friday and Saturday, 4:34pm, pacific standard time, Saturday afternoon, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. My daughter stayed the night with her friends family at the Great Wolf Lodge, in Garden Grove. I dropped her off shortly after 5pm yesterday and came back to Dana Point. I haven’t been to Aliso Viejo all day. It is times like this that make me realize how much life revolves around spending time with my daughter. We are planning to go a movie tomorrow but I am more aware everyday that once she can drive on her own life will change drastically for all of us. I miss her right now. And I miss the dog as well. But after all was said and done it was nice to have a day to myself. I slept in and went to the gym this afternoon. Now I am reading a graphic novel version of my favorite book, The Stranger by Albert Camus.
