July 25, 2024, Thursday afternoon, 4;54pm, pacific standard time, parking lot of Barnes &Noble, Aliso Viejo, California, USA. Took my daughter to tennis at 4:30pm and now killing time until she finishes at 5:30pm. Last night I watched a documentary on Gene Wilder then went to sleep around nine. This morning I drove to San Diego to meet with the Director then continued to Vista before heading home. I will probably watch a movie tonight before going to bed. It has been so hot today. Good thing my daughters mom has air conditioning.

July 24, 2024, Wednesday night, 8:14pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Aliso Viejo, California,USA. I am spending the next three nights and most of Saturday in Aliso Viejo with my daughter. Her mom went to Lompoc to help with her mom’s move to an Assisted Living community tomorrow. I am thankful to be with my daughter and the doggo. I always enjoy when we get to be together. Today I had my last coaching session followed by our area operating review. Both meetings went well. It will be weird not having coaching on Wednesday mornings but I am thankful for the time and feel it was beneficial. Side note: since I traveled Sunday today felt like Thursday. I have been ready for the weekend all day and it is only Wednesday. That was a little disappointing.

July 23, 2024, Tuesday evening, 6:15pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. Had a good morning in palm desert. Got up and worked out then drank coffee and read articles. I always like staying at the Fairfield Inn there. If they had a Kitchenette in the room and a pull up bar in the gym I would consider it the best hotel I stay at. It is still near the top without those things. After I finished meeting with staff in palm desert I drove to San Bernardino. I had the directors performance evaluation to complete and did a couple meetings. I left right after three and got home just before 5pm. This morning I realized our monthly operating review is tomorrow. Which is stressful because I wasn’t prepared but luckily I had time in Palm Desert to work on my slides. Now I am happy because I won’t have it hanging over my head the rest of the week.

July 22, 2024, Monday evening, 7:32pm, pacific standard time, Fairfield inn, palm desert, California, USA. Long day today. Started in Visalia meeting with the director there. Then drove to Bakersfield for meetings. Got out of there just after one and headed to palm desert. The drive ended up being four ana half hours long. I was exhausted when I got here but I managed to get a tuna sub from Jersey Mikes. Now I am going to crawl in bed and read a little. Today is the two year anniversary of acting this job and the 101st monday I have worked here.

July 21, 2024, Sunday evening, 6:54pm, pacific standard time, Hampton Inn, Visalia, California,USA. This morning I went for the Blue Lantern walk then worked out at Planet Fitness. Afterwards I went home, showered, packed then Drove to Aliso Viejo to pick up my daughter for a Dunkin run. I got on the road to Visalia at 10:30am. First stop was to buy groceries in Valencia. Then I stopped in Bakersfield to use the bathroom before making it to Visalia at 4pm. I laid down for a bit then got out and drove around. Visalia is a cute little city. I will have to stay again and explore. It feels so good to experience something completely new without having to drastically change my life circumstance.

July 20, 2024, Saturday night, 9:05pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. Went out last night and didn’t get back until after midnight. Got up at 4:30am and drove to Valencia/Lompoc to help my daughter’s grandma pack for her move to an assisted living next week. I had dinner with my daughter’s mom’s family at Blaze pizza in Lompoc then drove the moving truck back with my daughter’s uncle. When I finally got back to Orange County i stopped in Aliso viejo and say hi my daughter real quick. As a result, I didn’t get home until almost nine. I just finished dinner of Amy’s frozen Mac and cheese and now am watching family feud.

July 19, 2024, Friday afternoon, 3:41pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point,California, USA. Had a negative experience at work today. On our group call at the very end I announced the San Diego branch was having a party to celebrate a census milestone. The Vice President of sales got inappropriately offended and brought the whole group down. She made me look small. Afterwards people were texting me asking if I was alright. It was embarrassing and frankly, unnecessary. The exchange cast a pall over the entire day. Oh well. I am finishing laundry then driving to Whittier to have a drink with a friend. I am planning on staying out there because Saturday I am driving to valencia and then Lompoc to help with my daughter’s grandma’s move. I will be practically half way to Valencia if I am Whittier so No need to drive back and forth to Dana point, especially since I am supposed to be there at 7am Saturday.

July 18,2024, Thursday night, 7:46pm, Pacific Standard Time, apartment in Dana Point,California,USA. Drove back from Victorville this morning. Took my daughter to a singing lesson and took meetings in the car this afternoon. I was so busy I ended up working at her mom’s house in Aliso Viejo until 5pm. They had leftover broccoli and Alfredo so I brought that home to eat with reheated BJ’s pizza from last night. My daughter’s mom is going out of town next week so I am going to travel early (Sunday) and stay in Visalia. I have performance evaluations due and I want to meet the directors in person. that means Monday staying in palm desert and coming home Tuesday night.

July 17, 2024, Wednesday night, 11:55pm, pacific standard time, Hilton garden inn, Victorville, California,USA. Got up around 3:39an and went to the gym, hung out in the morning then headed to the office. Had my executive coaching session then drove to target to buy snacks for the office. Spent the rest day working and attending virtual meetings. ordered BJ’s for dinner, pizza, chowder and wedge salad. Watched game shows then scrolled in my phone before lights out at 9pm.

July 16, 2024, Tuesday evening, 7:44, pacific standard time, Hilton Garden Inn, Victorville, California,USA. I ordered poke for dinner tonight. Probably not a good idea. The tuna smelled and tasted alright but definitely looked off. I am feeling gassy. Hopefully I don’t get sick. Work wise the day was fine. My supervisor was in town. We met in the morning and then he took off around 11:30am. I had the audit call at 1pm. It wasn’t great but I got through it. I have another call in two weeks and have a ton of work to prepare. I am not looking forward to it at all. The last couple days were about as much stress as I care to handle. On a personal note my daughter’s grandma is going home from rehab. Apparently she didn’t like the Skilled nursing facility. I don’t blame her. Most of them aren’t very nice. I am going to go up to Lompoc Saturday with my ex in laws to help move furniture. I guarantee now she isn’t going to like the Assisted Living either.
