November 7,2025,Friday night,6:03pm,pacific standard time, in Aliso Viejo,,USA. Went to Anaheim Regional hospital for a surprised birthday party for one of the doctors. That was the highlight of the day. Otherwise i went for my walk this morning and worked out. I am extremely tired. I thought when daylight savings ended I would feel more rested, not less. I stopped by the apartment in Aliso to let the dog out. Now I am heading home and going to bed early.

November 6,2025,Thursday morning, 743am,pacific standard time,office in Costa Mesa,,USA. Yesterday I got a call letting me know the business office manager applied for a corporate job and they were going to offer it to her. It is large promotion. I am happy for her. Nothing is official yet but it sounds like a done deal. She doesn’t know I know but I am sure she will tell me when the offer is made. I told the clinical director about the situation but otherwise haven’t said anything. She is a little concerned. The office manager has a big presence at the branch. The staff will have to adjust, just like we will. Things will be different without her around.

November 5,2035,Wednesday morning,4:36am,pacific standard time apartment in Dana Point,,USA. After my walk and workout I turned on Weather Nation. Today is a “super moon.” Meaning the moon is full and it is at its closest point to earth. That also means its gravitational pull is at its strongest right now. King tides, the highest tides of the year, are expected along the west coast today. So if the ocean is feeling massive upheaval from the moon it only makes sense that I (and lots of other people) would feel strong upheaval as well. After all, the human body is made of 50-70% water, right? Maybe it is silly to think that but it makes me feel better so I am going to go with it.

November 4,2025,Tuesday night,7:22pm,pacific standard time,apartment in Dana Point, California,USA. Went for the full pch/blue lantern walk this morning. I appreciated getting back in my routine after an off day yesterday. I am still in a funk. Some of it is physiological. Some of it seems to be daylight savings time sending, and some of it just not having anything to be excited about. But I had a good work meeting today at a hospital with the chief medical officer. That made me feel a little better. And the election results tonight look favorable. Maybe the tide is turning.

November 3,2025,Monday night, 6:54pm,pacific standard time,apartment in Dana Point,,USA. This morning I slept in for the first time in a long time on a weekday morning. I was so late getting up I only did half the pch/blue lantern walk. And I had to hustle to get that in. The end of daylight savings has zapped my motivation.,I want to hibernate all winter. Maybe I am getting sick, maybe it was late nights Friday and Saturday. Whatever the case I am low energy right now.

November 2,2025,Sunday evening 5:01pm, pacific standard time, in Dana Point,,USA. I forgot it was the end of daylight savings this morning. That meant sleeping in and getting to have a full workout. Since it was early I went to EoS in San Clemente. Afterwards, I got gas and a car wash at the Shell in Laguna Niguel. I didn’t have breakfast so I ran into Albertsons for a box of builder bars. While I was there I picked up a $4 thanksgiving decoration. I think it came out great.

November 1,2025,Saturday night,9:47pm,pacific standard time,apartment complex parking lot,Dana Point,,USA. This evening I went to a work party at a restaurant called The Fifth. It is directly across the street from Disneyland. We got together to celebrate a successful third quarter. The event was fun. Seeing people outside of work is always interesting. The whole time we were there the World Series was on. The game didn’t go the way I hoped so I feel bitter. Oh well, I will get over it.

October 31,2025,Friday night,10:37pm,pacific standard time,apartment in Dana point, California. After work we all went to see Twilight:Eclipse at the Irvine Spectrum. I hadn’t read any of the books or watched the movies so I didn’t know what to expect. It was about what I expected; Mildly entertaining and slightly cheesy. I was just thankful to have something to do on Halloween and to spend time with family and friends. At work today we celebrated the holiday with an afternoon party. Lots of laughs, good food and pictures. All in all it was a fun day

October 30,2025,Thursday night,5:59pm,pacific standard time,apartment in Dana Point,,USA. I left work early to take my daughter to a doctor’s appointment in mission viejo. Afterwards she got lunch at Chik fil a. I stayed local the rest of the afternoon to take care of some personal things. Tomorrow is Halloween. We are going to dress up at the office and hand out goodie bags for the staff. I look forward to it. Having the holiday on Friday makes it that much more fun.

October 29,2025,Wednesday night,6:02pm,pacific standard time,parking lot,school of rock,San Juan Capistrano,California,USA. This morning I had a beautiful moment of pure bliss. I recalled being in the conference room at work, collaborating and connecting with co-workers and guests. We were sharing ideas on how to improve quality performance with a software tool the visitors created. The moment was organically inspiring. Remembering it on my walk created a mnemonic device I can access as a tangible example of being positive, engaged, aligned and connected.
