Socialize

3:28pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Thursday afternoon, August 25, 2022. I am going to drive to Glendale in a bit to attend a friend’s birthday party. I will get up there around 5:30pm. I don’t plan on staying long but, it will be nice to socialize, even for a short while.

August 23, 2022

6:51pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Thursday evening, August 23, 2022. Spent most of the day watching orientation videos. However, I did manage to go grocery shopping and exercise this afternoon. At 3:30pm there was a conference call that ended the day. I will spend the rest of the day reading before turning in.

Now it is time

5:52pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Monday evening, August 22, 2022. Took my daughter to school this morning, then stopped in Irvine on my way to Arizona to complete some work. Once I arrived in Chandler I took a short nap and worked out. Now it is time for dinner, a little free time, and a good nights sleep.

Last days in Arizona

5:18pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Monday evening, August 8, 2022. Worked on some writing today, ran a few errands and set up two appointments for tomorrow. The days are starting to go fast. In one week I will be in California starting the new job. For now I will enjoy the last days in Arizona.

Truck sold

5:31pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Wednesday evening, July 27, 2022. Officially sold my truck this morning. It took a couple of hours to complete the paperwork but I was still able to finish before noon. After that I deposited the check and ran errands. I am sad letting go of something so meaningful but, also relieved I no longer have two vehicles.

Just a Sunday

6:41pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Sunday evening, July 10, 2022. Nothing special today. Went for a walk in the morning, watched a movie before lunch then took a nap. In the afternoon I drove around a little, bought a new hat at the mall, then picked up some groceries. After that I came home and had dinner. Going to read a little bit then turn in for the night.

The usual trip

5:18pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Sunday evening, June 19, 2022. Took the dog for a walk this morning, got coffee and gas, caught up on news and anime. Left California before 11am and got to Chandler at 4:30pm. It was a typical Sunday and the usual California to Arizona return trip.

Wednesday June 15

4:48pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Wednesday afternoon, June 15, 2022. Woke up early to walk and work out, wrote a little then applied for unemployment. The second interview today was rescheduled for Friday. Turns out the Rancho Cucamonga job also covers Riverside. Not sure what is going on there with so many vacancies! That is three jobs at the same time. Started looking at Chaplain positions as well but, haven’t applied yet. It would be nice to have something to do, earn some money and get benefits again.

Early to bed

6:22pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Sunday evening, June 2, 2022. Got back to Arizona from Orange County, California at 3:30pm. The drive was uneventful. I feel exhausted but ready for the new week tomorrow. Time to go to bed early, catch up on needed rest.

Memorial Day 2022

4:27pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Monday afternoon, May 30, 2022, Memorial Day. Left Orange County early to beat traffic but, it wasn’t necessary. In fact, it was the fastest trip across the desert so far. I even had time for a quick nap afterwards. My mom sent pictures of the graves in Wyoming this morning. Everything looks nice. She always does a good job. Seeing the pictures brought back fond memories of my brother and dad.
