Friday afternoon

April 25,2025,Friday afternoon,3:33pm,pacific standard time,office in Costa Mesa, California,USA. Received a text at 10am this morning that the dog was due for a grooming appointment at 11am. I scrambled to leave work for a bit, drove to Aliso Viejo, pick up the dog and then headed to Dana Point. Right when we arrived at the groomers some other customers informed me they were closed. The power has gone out and was not going to be restored any time soon. So I took the dog back to Aliso with a stop at Starbucks to get breakfast and drinks for my daughter and her mom. Right now I am exhausted. I stayed up past 11pm last night taking my daughter to her final music rehearsal before her performance Sunday. I am counting the minutes until this day is over then I am going to go home and go to bed early.
