August 30, 2024, Friday night, 6:39pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. I was all set to stay in tonight when a friend texted and asked if I was free. We are going to meet halfway in Irvine for a drink at 8pm. Today was good. Drove in from Victorville this morning. Picked my daughter up from school. Took her to get in and out then went to Trader Joe’s for some broccoli, rice and stir fry sauce. I don’t really crave anything for dinner except rice, vegetables and tofu. Funny how I eat better because I don’t feel well. All those years of futilely trying will power to eat nutritious items. I just needed to get sick to get healthy. Ironic.
