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.
Back in Arizona
3:41pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Sunday afternoon, September 25, 2022. Took the dog for a walk this morning, then got on the road to Arizona. After arriving in Chandler I started laundry and took a nap. Now I am catching up on emails and listening to music. Nice to be back in Arizona, even for just a day.
Recuperating
3:50pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA, Saturday afternoon, September 24, 2022. We got back to the apartment at 2:30am yesterday and were asleep by 3am. The dog and I got up at 7am to move the car and grab some coffee. I managed to take a nap this afternoon, but still feel tired. I am going to spend the rest of the day recuperating and reading while my daughter plays video games in her room.
Quick nap
4:04pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA, Friday afternoon, September, 23, 2022. Going to the amusement park for an early Halloween celebration this evening. We won’t be home until late. I flew in from the Bay Area this afternoon after working at the hotel this morning. I am going to take a quick nap before we head out at 5:30pm.
Nice way to unwind
6:26pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Dublin, California, USA, Thursday evening, September 22, 2022. Virtual back to school night going on right now. I am attending online presentations by my daughter’s teachers. I am also texting with my daughter about going to the amusement park tomorrow night for an early Halloween event and watching football. It has been a nice way to unwind after a hectic week at work.
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.
Out and about
5:59pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA, Saturday evening, September 17, 2022. Spent most of the afternoon driving around and going for walks with the dog. Now I am back in the apartment, enjoying a beer and catching up on college football scores. Nice to spend a day out and about, rather than cooped up inside like usual.
