Friendship

4:50pm, pacific standard time, Parking lot in Tempe Marketplace, Sunday afternoon, August 7, 2022. Had a rare day in regards to social activity today. Met a friend for coffee this morning, then another friend came over to watch television. Now I am going to have a drink with a friend in Tempe. I don’t often have opportunities to be this social, I will enjoy it while I can. It is nice getting of the house for a change.

In for the evening

4:39pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Saturday afternoon, August 6, 2022. Family left at 5am this morning. After they were gone I ran a couple loads of laundry, watched two movies, wrote a little and practiced scales on the guitar. This afternoon went grocery shopping then called my mom. Now I am in for the evening, enjoying the quiet and staying out of the heat.

Simply existing

5:01pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Thursday evening, August 4, 2022. Had another good day. Spent time reading, writing, walking, exercising and taking a couple of naps. Nice to have the family here visiting and enjoy simply existing.

Busy but fun

3:02pm, pacific standard time, trampoline park, Chandler, Arizona, USA, Sunday afternoon, July 31, 2022. Since yesterday afternoon we have gone swimming twice, shopping at multiple places and now, visiting the trampoline park down the street. It has been a busy, but fun, weekend. Luckily, I found a place to sit at the trampoline park so I can relax while they get some physical exercise.

Cleaning and listening to music

8:23am, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Saturday morning, July 30, 2022. Yesterday was productive; continued to work on some writing assignments, ran errands, then went to bed early. This morning I worked out and spent a couple of hours listening to music while cleaning the apartment. Family arrives around 11am. I am excited to have them in Arizona this week.

Resin ghost with lantern

8:52pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Thursday night, July 14, 2022. Drove to north Phoenix twice today trying to locate a Halloween decoration for a friend. Apparently it is the hot item this year and almost completely sold out. Never mind the fact it is only July! Anyway, after a week of visiting multiple stores and calling countless others, my quest was successful.

A pretty good day

5:01pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Thursday evening, July 7, 2022. Received a text from the Rancho Cucamonga group about setting up a call tomorrow to discuss next steps. Also, had an interview this afternoon with a large provider regarding an executive director specialist role in California. Both seem like good opportunities, I would be happy to take either one. On the writing side of things, I started work on an article about destiny and fate. I am curious to see how it turns out. All in all, a pretty good day.

Car care

6:39pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Wednesday evening, July 6, 2022. Today was about car care; got the chips in my windshield fixed, the brakes replaced and the air filters changed out. Now the car is road ready for the next couple months. On the work front; no word on the two jobs in California . Although, a recruiter did call regarding a sales position in the Los Angeles, California market. I am not sure it is the job for me but I am willing to be open minded.

4th of July 2022

10:01pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA, Monday, July 4, 2022. Took it easy today, then visited friends for a bbq and fireworks at a neighbors house. There was a carnival nearby so us two dads took the daughters over for a bit. Mostly standing in line for tickets , cotton candy and a ride but, everyone had fun. I am exhausted and ready for bed.

Sunday, July 3, 2022

3:43pm, pacific standard time, mall in Mission Viejo, California, USA, Sunday afternoon, July 3, 2022. My daughter and her friend are walking around the mall. I am sitting, resting and people watching. Went for a short walk this morning, did the dishes and laundry, then went to a movie. After we finish here we will grab dinner and head home. Not a bad day.
