5:58pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Dublin, California, USA, Tuesday evening, September 27, 2022. I woke up early this morning after a restless nights sleep. Work issues kept me awake and stressed. I went to the gym and had a good workout before heading to the office at 7:30am. Things seemed to have settled down by the afternoon. Tomorrow is my last full day in Dublin before heading back to Arizona for the weekend.

Some days are better than others
7:29pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Dublin, California, USA, Monday night, September 27, 2022. Long day. Woke up at 5:30am to get to the airport in time for phones calls and meetings. Then I flew in to Las Vegas, Nevada to catch a connection to Sacramento, California. By the time I landed in Sacramento my phone was inundated with staffing issues and payroll problems. I scrambled to get my luggage, rental car and a good enough wifi signal to finish some work. By the time I got to the hotel I was physically exhausted. And yet my phone keeps ringing. Some days are better than others. Today was no fun at all.
Better stress
7:03pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Dublin, California, USA, Wednesday evening, September 21, 2022. A little bit of rain and cooler weather finally made it feel like fall, which is wonder. Today was a busy day at the office; lots of admissions and phone calls. It is good to be busy; there is still a lot of stress but, it is better than the alternative stress caused by not being busy enough.
Tv fixed
5:37pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Dublin, California, USA, Tuesday evening, September 20, 2022. Got back into my workout routine this morning after taking the last couple of days off. It felt good to work up a sweat and build some muscle. Work was busy with lots of meetings today. I am glad it is over. Positive side note: when I checked in to the hotel yesterday the television in my room didn’t work, but I was able to fix it by myself just now.
Back in Dublin, California
5:54pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Dublin, California, USA, Monday evening, September 19, 2022. Had a good day yesterday. Took it easy, ran a couple of errands, finished the book I was reading and watched football. This morning I flew to Oakland then drove to Dublin. The flight was delayed and baggage took forever. I did not get into town until after three. I am at the hotel, checking email and getting ready for work tomorrow.
I am drained
5:49pm, pacific standard time, hotel in San Bernardino, California, USA, Tuesday evening, September 13, 2022. Today started with me conducting an emotionally charged meeting. By the time it was over I felt exhausted. But with no time to regroup I went to the branch office and did one-on-one training for seven hours. Now I am drained. The rest of my evening is dinner and sports television followed by reading a new book.
In San Bernardino, California
6:41pm, pacific standard time, hotel in San Bernardino, California, USA, Monday night, September 12, 2022. Drove in from Chandler this afternoon. Got to the hotel just before the rain and flash flood warnings started. Now I am relaxing by watching football after a big dinner. Time to get ready for the rest of the work week.
Preparing
5:24pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Sunday evening, September 21, 2022. Woke up later than usual this morning. It was too late to walk or exercise so I had breakfast with a friend then came home to watch football and read. In the afternoon I went for a drive and visited the casino. Now I am doing laundry and preparing for the next two weeks of work.
Typical day
6:11pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Dublin, California, USA, Wednesday, September 7, 2022. Felt a little tired this morning. I wasn’t able to workout or go for a walk, but managed to have a good day at the office with meetings all morning and training in the afternoon. At 5:30pm I came back to the hotel, had dinner and now am watching television.
Relaxing and staying cool
6:24pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Dublin, California, USA, Tuesday evening, September 6, 2022. It is hot out here today. The high was 113. I took my daughter to school, caught a flight north, worked for a couple of hours then grabbed dinner. Now I am at the hotel relaxing and staying cool.
