Saturday

March 21,2026,Saturday afternoon,12:01pm, pacific standard time,Planet Fitness, Laguna Niguel, California, USA. Last night went to EOS at 1am and worked out on the treadmill. Then I came home and went back to sleep. I woke up around seven, did some pushups, listened to music and gained. At 9:3-0 I had coffee with a new friend then kicked up my contacts and bought some body wash at Bath and Body Works. Now I am at Planet Fitness doing an easy walk. I will head to Aliso and see how everyone is doing when I finish.

Friday

March 20,2026,Friday morning,3:17am,pacific standard time,apartment in Dana Point, California,USA. I am dealing with a sense of rejection. The person I chatted with the last two weeks and went out with over the weekend told me Tuesday she wasn’t interested in talking any more. It wasn’t a serious relationship and I didn’t have deep feelings one way or the other but my ego is bruised. I suppose things even out. There are many instances where the tables were turned and I said something similar. What goes around comes around, especially in relationships.

Thursday

March 19,2026,Thursday morning,3:17am,pacific standard time,apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. I feel like I am in a very good place right now. I am settled in my job and can see enough runway to make it three years or more. I want to grow while being securely grounded. I am more involved with investing and am making that a priority for the remainder of the year. last night I didn’t exercise. This morning I did the Santa Clara route.

Wednesday

March 18,2036,Wednesday morning,3:05am,pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. Looking back on posts from three to five years ago it is interesting to see how things have changed. I am much more confident, accepting and positive compared to back then. However there are things that remain the same. My behaviors, actions and habits feel deeply familiar. I suppose when something is working stick with it. And when it isn’t working tweak a thing or two to get right. Overall I feel I have evolved for the better. That is what matters most. Last night I walked on the treadmill at the office complex and this morning did the Santa Clara route.

Tuesday morning

March 17,2026,st.Patrick’s Day,Tuesday morning,3:22am,pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. Yesterday after work I walked on the treadmill. Then I picked my daughter up to go grocery shopping. Her jaw is still a little sore from the surgery last Friday. On top of that she didn’t get the job at Cane’s. I gave her a pep talk about it being a good learning experience, being proud she got to the final interview stage and that they very well might call soon when another opening becomes available. we will see how it goes.

Monday morning

March 16,2026,Monday morning, 3:20am,pacific standard time, in Dana Point, California, USA. Last night my friend from Saturday invited me to Vista to come see her. She had been in Orange County all day but we missed seeing each other. It was getting late but I wasn’t tired. The drive wasn’t bad with no traffic. We had a good time and I was home just after 10pm. This morning I did the PCH/Santa Clara route and an arms/shoulders workout at home.

Flying pig

March 15,2026,Sunday morning, 7:51am,pacific standard time,planet fitness parking lot, Laguna Niguel, California, USA. Last night I drove to Oceanside and had dinner at the flying pig with a new friend. We had a good time. I haven’t been in a date like situation in over a year. And without drinking. It was a fun experience. She lives a little ways away so the distance may be an issue but for now we had a good time together.

Job interview

March 14,2026,Saturday morning, 9:02am,pacific standard time, Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers, Aliso Viejo, California, USA. My daughter has her second interview to work at a local fast food restaurant. I am waiting for her to finish up and take her home. I am proud of her for getting this far. I hope it works out. She is still a little sore from her oral surgery yesterday but didn’t want to miss her appointment. I told her that is the most important quality they are looking for. Show up when she is scheduled and work hard when she is there. She should do fine.

Neighbor and wisdom teeth

March 13,2026,Friday morning, 8:35am,pacific standard time, office in Costa Mesa, California,USA. I finally met the neighbor who lives above me. She has been there for a couple of months. I assumed we would run into each other eventually and it finally happened. She is nice. And she has a cute puppy. This morning my daughter had her wisdom teeth pulled. I just got off the phone with her. She did good. Now it is time for her to rest and heal over the weekend.

Car fixed

March 12,2026, Thursday morning,3:41am, pacific standard time,apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. Yesterday I dropped my car off at 8am to get the brakes fixed. They never called to say it was ready so I ended up working the whole day from the apartment in Aliso Viejo. At 6pm I took my daughter to music and walked the San Juan Creek trail. I am guessing it is about 45 minutes to go from my house to her music school. Maybe this weekend I will venture out and see how accurate that prediction is.
