Feeling secure

November 28, 2023, Tuesday morning, 6:02am, pacific standard time, hotel room in Hesperia, California, USA. My first time staying near the Apple Valley branch. It has been alright but I have noticed some quirks. First of all, the hotel is 20 minutes from the office. Much further than Palm Desert, and even Bakersfield. Second, the hotel gym layout is unique. The treadmills and elliptical machines face the workout area. Not unlike being on stage, conducting a performance while the audience watches and exercises. It is odd, I have never seen something like that in such a tight space. It didn’t matter today. I am feeling run down and did not workout this morning. I got up at 5am and have been reading. The third strange thing is they don’t have coffee in the lobby. I had to run to Starbucks down the road. The good news is on my way back I was overcome with a sense of security. That is why I decided to write a post early in the morning. I want to capture these moments when they occur since they are rare. I don’t know how long the feeling will last but it is nice to experience it, even for a moment. At least until the end of the year I am secure in my job, my family and my health.
