June 23,2026, Tuesday evening, 7:37pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana point, California, USA. I am tired and frustrated with mom. I came home and she is confused and contradictory. I don’t know what to do to make her happy. She is frustrated too. this is going to be a long road.

June 22,2036, Monday evening, 7pm, pacific standard time,parking lot, apartment complex, Aliso Viejo, California,USA. We tried brusters in Dana point but it was super busy so we had coffee and ice cream at the one next two Starbucks in Laguna Niguel. Afterwards we got cat food at pet smart and groceries at Ralph’s. The whole way home mom complained about California and wanting go back to Wyoming. So this morning I called an assisted living in Evanston. I know the owner and so does my mom. The price is right so I asked them to hold a room. I called mom thinking she would be excited about getting her wish. But she was not thrilled. There is no pleasing her. I know it is the disease and not her but the constant complaining is getting old. So is living with the cat and sleeping on a futon in the living room. We need a better solution.

June 18,2026, Thursday morning, 6:47am, pacific standard time, Starbucks parking lot, Laguna Niguel,California,USA. I left work at one pm yesterday and took care of the banking things with mom. Then we took the dog to the vet, dropped mom off and I drove back to Aliso to walk the dog and take her home. I got back to Dana point after a brief stop at the pet store to buy cat food. This morning I did the blue lantern route, got some extra rest and did some shopping for work at Albertsons. Now I am grabbing coffee and heading to the office.

June 17,2026, Wednesday afternoon, 12:36pm, pacific standard time,office in Costa Mesa, California,USA. A rare mid day post from the office. This morning I woke up with a splitting headache. It is an allergic reaction or barometric pressure change. This is the second day of dayquil, essential oils, and ibuprofen. The pain has somewhat subsided but my head is in a fog. I am leaving at 1pm to take care of a banking issue for mom and to get the dog shots at the vet.

June 15/16, Tuesday morning,4:16am, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. Yesterday felt like a Monday. Everyone was grouchy and overwhelmed. I felt it too. On Sunday night we had hamburgers, pizza and ice cream for dinner. That made me feel off throughout the day. When I came home mom had parked the car in the wrong spot. She went to the grocery store on her own, bought more of what we had already picked up on Saturday and returned home with a car full of unnecessary items. She cant remember the gate code or the parking stall number. That makes for some interesting adventures. At some point I should take her key away but she is still with it enough to know what that means for her freedom and sense of identity.
