March 6-7, Wednesday, Thursday, 8:59am, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. I wasn’t feeling well yesterday. I finished a call at 4pm then slept for thirteen hours straight. This morning I got up early and came home. I took some cold medicine so I am feeling a little better. I found out yesterday there is a meeting in Arizona next month. The news made me happy. I can’t wait to go back and see familiar places and visit old friends. I am already planning how long to stay and what to do.

March 5, 2024, Tuesday morning, 7:46am, pacific standard time, hotel gym in Carlsbad, California,USA. I have been so busy chasing numbers I haven’t stopped to enjoy being in a moment. For the rest of the year I am not going to worry about hitting milestones of time. Rather, I am going to enjoy existing and savor life as it comes. Today has been good. I slept in, worked out and now I am going to have some coffee and start my work day.

March 4, 2024, Monday morning, 9:17am, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. I only have a couple of calls today before heading to San Diego to visit the branches down there. As a concept this day is as good as it gets. I couldn’t imagine a much better way to spend Monday, work or otherwise. I am hanging out at home, finishing laundry, then seeing my daughter before taking a short drive to a nice area. It is great. That being said I have anxiety. There is a tightness just below my ribs on the right hand side. I can’t tell if it manifested by physical ailment or emotional struggle. When I am stressed and bear down that is where I feel the tension. But I am not overly stressed right now. Yet it is tightened up and not allowing me to relax. I really need to start focusing on stress relief techniques or I am going to suffer.

March 3, 2024, Sunday evening, 5:48pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. Went to the gym this morning and walked on the treadmill. I was out late last night and not in the mood to lift weights. At 11am I picked up my daughter and we drove around. When we got back she played a Game on her computer and I took the dog for a walk. Later, we went out again before I headed back to Dana Point. It was a good low key Sunday. I felt a little anxiety but that is the norm these days. Starting tomorrow I will be in San Diego county for work.

March 1-2, Friday, Saturday morning 6:32am, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. Yesterday after work I went to Aliso Viejo. My daughter and her mom were at a doctors appointment then went to dinner so I spent the evening with the dog watching a show on Netflix. I was about to leave when they came home. My daughter and I ended up driving to Irvine listening to music and stopping at 7/11 for candy. Afterwards, I dropped her off and came home. it was a simple yet fun Friday night.

February 29, 2024, leap day, Thursday night, 8:16pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. Drove to Victorville for two meetings this afternoon then turned around and came home. I have been feeling anxious all week. My new boss is not very responsive to text or emails. That makes me feel uncertain. Not sure how to improve communication. I am glad another month is almost over. I vowed to stick out the year and I will honor that commitment.

February 27-28, Tuesday, Wednesday, 7:46am, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. I came back to Dana point last night after spending the day in Victorville with my new boss. The meeting was alright. It wasn’t my meeting but it still felt like operations was the focal point. Unfortunately, Victorville is probably the worst branch for him to visit first. I was embarrassed by the lack of professionalism. On the plus side I completed an interview for a director that went extremely well. She is what the branch needs to get corrected. I will send her on to the next round of interviews and hopefully make an offer soon. This week we have parent/teacher conferences for my daughter. She gets out early so I will pick her up at 1pm and then attend virtual conferences later in the day.

February 26, 2024, Monday night, hotel room in Victorville, California,USA. Worked out at planet fitness this morning then took my daughter to school. I drove up to Victorville this afternoon. Tomorrow I meet with my new boss and the regional VP of marketing before heading home late afternoon. My daughter has parent teacher conferences and early dismissal from school this week. I am going to pick her up Wednesday afternoon because her mom has work obligations.

February 25, 2024, Sunday night, 11:48pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. Did the Blue Lantern walk first thing this morning followed by an hour on the treadmill and a workout at Plane Fitness. Them I can home and did laundry. After taking my daughter to subway for lunch I took the dog for a walk past the sports fields and middle school in Aliso Viejo. I came home and took a nap in the afternoon. At 5pm I went back out to get gas for my company car. My daughter called while I was driving so I picked her up to get food from i20 Ramen. At the end of the night I came home and talked with my friend on the phone for an hour as she drove home.

February 23-24, Friday, Saturday night, 7:21pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. Had a date last night so wasn’t able to post. We went to the Blue Dolphin in Dana Point. Not really our style. More a pool hall than restaurant/bar. Today started late. I took my daughter to get Starbucks at 1pm, then worked out at planet fitness late afternoon. This evening my daughter and I grabbed pizza for dinner from the dominoes in laguna niguel then I came home to watch diners, drive ins and dives.
