March 10,11,2035,Monday,Tuesday morning,4:46,pacific standard time,Planet Fitness parking lot, Laguna Niguel,California, USA. Yesterday was a drag. My sleep pattern was off and I woke up with a congestion headache on the back left base of my skull. I still have it this morning. The weather is rainy. That might be why my head still aches. Usually when a storm comes in I feel it. Be that as it may, I am thankful. I was able to get up and go for a walk before the rain really came down hard. I have a place to go today that gives me friendship and purpose and I am going to workout in ten minutes once the gym opens at 5am.

March 6, 2024,Thursday afternoon,3:48pm,pacific standard time,office in Costa Mesa, California,USA. It is cold and rainy today. And I am not in the mood to be here. I had a headaches so I took some DayQuil and ibuprofen along with a lot of coffee. I am ready to go home and call it a day. This week needs to end.

March 4,5,2025,Tuesday/Wednesday morning,4:49am,pacific standard time,Planet Fitness parking lot,Laguna Niguel,California, USA. My phone is broken. Only one plug-in works and it takes five minutes of fiddling to charge. Once it starts I am hesitant to unplug for any reason. therefore I didn’t write a post yesterday. It was a good day though. I completed my first month of work, albeit four weeks because that month was February but it still counts. We had our staff meeting yesterday. Nice to see everyone together and out faces with names. After work I took my daughter to dinner at The Habit. This week we have parent teacher conferences. I missed the first three yesterday. Because I was so busy I forgot.

March 2, 2025, Sunday afternoon, 1:34pm, pacific standard time, parking lot of The Villas, Dana Point, California, USA. Stopped by The Villas apartment complex in Dana Point this afternoon. I drive by it practically everyday but haven’t stopped since November of 2022. This is where my daughter and her mom lived while I worked in Phoenix. I would drive from Arizona early Saturday, spend the day with my daughter, then sleep on their couch before driving back to Arizona Sunday. Walking the grounds brought back memories. It wasn’t the nicest apartment building or the best of time of our lives but we made it work. Funny how a moment passes and makes everything slightly more beautiful.

March 1,2025, Saturday night,6:14pm,pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. I took a rare day off from walking and working out in the morning to stay home and write a little. Then I went grocery shopping. After returning a package and dropping off perishables I headed up to see my daughter. She was bored so we went for a drive. I decided to try and get to my office in Costa Mesa without using freeways. We drove quite some time. Right when I was about to give up we stumbled upon the street I was looking for. Success! To celebrate we stopped at Starbucks. My daughter wanted iced tea and string cheese. We got the iced tea but could not find cheese. After three stops we went to the grocery store and bought some there. It was a fun excursion and got us out of the house. After that I took the dog for a late afternoon walk past the middle school before coming back to Dana Point.

February 28, 2025, Friday night, 6:38pm, pacific standard time,apartment parking lot, Dana Point, California, USA. Started the day at 3:30am with the Blue Lantern walk. It felt good to walk outside. Lately I have walked at a higher pace on the treadmill my body needed a break. Afterwards, I went to the gym then took my daughter to school. Now the work week is over and I can relax. Though I am the administrator on call so I might not get to rest as much as I think. Picture of sunrise taken while walking the with the dog in Aliso Viejo.
