February 6,2026,Friday morning, 5:12am,pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. I am having an issue with an employee regarding her time keeping record. She has been with the company a long time. The investigation is draining for both of us. Yesterday I got the new overlay for my tooth. It will take a little time to get used to. I am glad I they got me in early and I don’t have to wait until Wednesday. I slept in again this morning. I have enjoyed doing the treadmill at night but have to figure out the resistance training aspect.

February 5,2026,Thursday morning, 5:34am,pacific standard time,apartment in Dana Point, California,USA. After taking my daughter to music I went to planet fitness last night to walk on the treadmill. by the time I got home I was exhausted. Four days/nights of after work exercise and early morning walks caught up with me. I stayed in bed until 5:30 this morning and didn’t go for a walk. Now I am having a chocolate peanut butter builder bar and drinking some lavazza coffee from the keurig while I watch the weather. The dental office called yesterday and said they can set my crown early so I will do that before heading to work. Today is my one year work anniversary. I am so busy I don’t have time for reflection. I kind of like it that way.

February 4,2026,Wednesday, 3:58am pacific standard time,apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. Today in the last day of my first year at this job. I can’t say it has been a great year but I am happy with the results. I may good pay, I am appreciated and I can be steady financially/benefit wise for my family. My plan is to stay constant for the foreseeable future but you never know what life has in store. Workout: treadmill at planet fitness last night, blue lantern walk this morning, pushups at home. Tonight will be a challenge. Because of singing lessons for my daughter I won’t get to the gym until 8pm. That is the time I have been finishing the last two nights.

February 3,2026,Tuesday morning,3:19am,pacific standard time,apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. I have been dealing with a sprained trapezius muscle for a couple months. So long that it felt like a chronic condition. However the last three days I have felt my range of motion return. I will never take putting my hands on my hips, crossing my arms or raising my hands above my head for granted again. Last night I went to a planet fitness and walked on the treadmill for an hour. psychologically it is hard to gear up for a workout at night but once I got started I enjoyed the experience. Plus it gives me flexibility with my schedule. I woke up early this morning because I wanted to, not because I had to. That was a refreshing change of perspective.

February 2,2026, Monday morning, 7:20am, pacific standard time,parking garage at work, Costa Mesa, California,USA. Yesterday, after taking my daughter to lunch and walking the dog I went to the gym to walk on the treadmill. I did the same thing last Sunday and enjoyed it so I thought I would try again. I ended up walking for an hour. I decided I would count that as my walk for this morning and slept in like I normally soon Saturday and Sunday. That mindset has made an amazing difference. I feel like I gained a third weekend morning. Even sleeping in as late as I want in have plenty of time to make it to work.

February 1,2026,Sunday morning,5:57am,pacific standard time,apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. My cousin and her family were in town yesterday. We met for lunch at Station Craft Brewery + Kitchen in Dana Point. The food and the conversation were enjoyable. afterwards my daughter and her mom came to my apartment and visited briefly. They wanted to go shopping so I took a nap and met up with them back in Aliso. I walked the dog then took my daughter to In & Out for dinner before she connected with friends in Irvine. This morning I walked the Blue Lantern route. The moon was so bright and full it looked like sunrise in some places. I am extremely happy and at peace right now. Both this immediate moment and for the past year. I am grateful for who I am and the gifts I have been given.
