Thursday night

September 4/5, Friday Saturday morning 5:40am, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana point, California, USA. Worked yesterday and came straight home. On Thursday night I had a frank conversation with my daughter about school (she dropped out) . She says she is getting a job though she hasn’t applied or interviewed anywhere. The conversation left her in tears and me upset. She has been helping drive mom around and take her shopping.

Can’t win

September 3,2026, Thursday night, 8:57pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California,USA. Our team pissed people off all day. First, a skilled nursing facility was mad we admitted someone. Then they were mad the patient revoked. Second, a family wanted to go to the hospital then got mad at our care offerings after being told the hospital wouldn’t admit. Finally another hospital was mad because they didn’t know a patient was leaving to go to a facility under hospice even Though we told multiple people and they requested the discharge. Somedays you can’t win.

Business

September 2,2026, Wednesday morning, 7:18am pacific standard time, office in Costa Mesa, California,USA. This job is like I bought a business and inherited a great office, untapped potential and place I can thrive. I am forever appreciative of this moment in time. This is the best I have ever felt.

I am appreciative the life I have lived these past 24 years.
