September 19, 2023, Tuesday night, 10:43pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Bakersfield, California, USA. Working in the office was hard today. Being home and going to San Diego last week spoiled me. The day went alright at least. Had my usual morning anxiety, went to work anyway, tried to bargain and rationalize the stress away, failed, moped into the office at 7:40am, caught up on tasks associated with Bakersfield and disassociated my way to 5pm before eating dinner and going to bed. I won’t be back here for a while after tomorrow. Lots of things to do but only so much time to do them. Later this week I have to start worrying about all the things left undone in Palm Desert. I can only do so much. We will see how it all turns out.
