Preparing

5:24pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Sunday evening, September 21, 2022. Woke up later than usual this morning. It was too late to walk or exercise so I had breakfast with a friend then came home to watch football and read. In the afternoon I went for a drive and visited the casino. Now I am doing laundry and preparing for the next two weeks of work.

A good September Saturday

4:07pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Saturday afternoon, September 10, 2022. Going to see a friend this evening, have dinner and hang out. This morning I exercised, paid my bills and finished some things for work. Then I ran to the store for groceries, watched football, took a nap and played guitar. A good September Saturday.

Back in Arizona

7:26pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Friday night, September 9, 2022. Left the hotel in Dublin, California eleven hours ago. Drove to Oakland, flew to Orange County then drove to Arizona. Traffic was bad through Riverside and it rained outside of Phoenix but I survived. It is good to be back in Arizona.

A little financial stress

5:15pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Dublin, California, USA, Thursday evening, September 8, 2022. A little stressed about finances right now. Nothing major; just have to figure out taxes and expense reports. Also, I am aware of the need to resolve my housing situation in the next couple of months. Tomorrow I fly back to Orange County then drive to Arizona for the weekend.

Typical day

At 5:30pm I came back to the hotel, had dinner and now am watching television.

Relaxing and staying cool

Going to buy a book

Hot today
