December 26, 2023, Tuesday night, 7:26pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. Got up around five and went straight to the gym. After working out I drove to Aliso Viejo and took the dog for a walk. It was 44 degrees, a little chilly, but the air was still. Dawn broke over the mountains as we were walking. I kept reminding myself to stay in the moment. That there will never be a time of pure bliss. The apex I seek exists in days like this. for the remainder of the day I went to triple A to get the Acura registered, made a Target run with mom and we stopped by the post office to pick up boxes for her presents. This evening the family came over for dinner consisting of leftovers from yesterday. My daughter was excited. She got contacts this afternoon. They decided to go shopping tonight so I brought the dog back to Dana Point with me rather than leave her alone in her kennel.
