September 3.2025,Wednesday evening,6:02pm,pacific standard time,parking lot,school of rock, San Juan Capistrano,California, USA. Received good news about our financial situation at work. That made my day. Plus the number of patients we serve has been picking up. That justifies hiring more staff to meet the demand. This morning I got up early and did the walk to the walk followed by a home back workout. Not a bad midweek day. Only a couple more days and it will be the weekend again.

September 2,2025,Tuesday night7:59pm,pacific standard time, apartment complex parking lot,Dana Point, California, USA. Spent most of the day chasing down leads. The top liaison had a family emergency so I took over key accounts. It was fun to be in the mix and running Point. Though it was a little labor intensive and time consuming it was good to do something different. I am a little grouchy. I gained three pounds over the weekend. Most likely from my lack of resistance training. It is a negligible amount but I still feel off . I need to cut back on the portions, especially when eating nuts. I have a tendency to overeat when from the bulk containers.

September 1,2025,Monday night,6:11pm,pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA, Labor Day. Took the dog for a walk this morning then worked out at Planet Fitness. Afterwards I came home and did laundry. This evening we went out to eat with friends at Station Craft Brewery + Kitchen in Dana Point. Now I am home but not overly tired. There is a good show on YouTube. I will watch a little of that and treat myself to some Baskin Robbins Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream that’s been sitting in my freezer.

August 31,2025,Saturday night,8:00pm,pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. On my way home tonight I stopped to watch the sunset in Laguna Niguel. Such a beautiful night. Today was nice. Did the Blue Lantern walk, worked out at Planet Fitness, took my daughter some sparkly water I bought at Ralph’s, drove to the office because I was bored and got my daughter Panera for lunch. The past two weekends I have found balance. My mornings are pleasant, afternoons are productive and evenings are peaceful. I am in the best place of my life.

August 30,2025,Saturday afternoon,4;50pm,pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. I feel liberated. My daughter is older and independent. Work is fun and rewarding. I can make plans to see my mom and spend time in both Wyoming and California. Also I feel released from old mindsets. Like the need to be validated and make money through creative endeavors. Or entertaining myself with addictive substances like alcohol. I have been using the Robinhood app and investing more. It keeps me busy, even on weekends. I am balanced. Today I did the walk to the walk, a home chest workout, went to the Laguna Niguel office, hung out for a bit, walked around the cool air conditioned interior of Kohls, stopped by Home Goods to price ottomans, stopped in Aliso Viejo, took the dog out and watched most of the last episode of Quarterback on Netflix. Took my daughter to get sushi and Starbucks. Picked up two pairs of pants from the tailor and came home. Now I am heading back out to target to get groceries for the week.

August 29,2025,Friday night,7:32pm,pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. This entire week was a grinder. Nothing too exciting happened. It reminded me of some mornings walking on the treadmill. Not too hard but not easy either. Show up, put the time in, repeat five times and get to the weekend. Some weeks are simply filler. I am thankful it is the weekend. Time to enjoy my mornings and be bored in the afternoon.

August 28,2025, 7:39pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Aliso Viejo, California,USA. Took my daughter to Del Taco for dinner then drove around and listened to music. I am tired and grouchy. She is going to take the dog for a quick walk then I am leaving. Her mom is out for the evening but that doesn’t matter my daughter will be alright alone for a little while. One more day until the three day weekend. I am so ready.

August 27,2025,Wednesday evening,6:07pm,pacific standard time,parking lot,school of rock, San Juan Capistrano,California,USA. Slept in this morning and did the treadmill workout at Planet Fitness. That always makes my mornings go quicker because I have no down time. Not that I really has anything to do anyway. This week has been non-descriptive. Just putting in time to get to the three day weekend. Things were so slow at work today it was actually boring. I am being practicing patience and gratitude. It is much better to be bored than stressed.

August 26,2025,Tuesday Night,7:59pm, pacific standard time, apartment complex parking lot,Dana Point, California, USA. I got up at 2:30am and did the walk to the walk and a modified chest workout. My trapezoid is still making my shoulder tight. I am working around it instead of through it but it has really disheartened me. I want to get back to a more aggressive resistance routine. It will come, I just need to be patient. Took my daughter to get ice cream after work. I just pulled in to the apartment complex. It is already almost completely dark. The equinox isn’t that far away.

August 25,2025, Monday afternoon,3:48pm,pacific standard time,office in Costa Mesa, California,USA. I have felt a little stuffed up the last four days. Ended up sleeping in this morning. Still made it to Planet Fitness to walk on the treadmill and do some resistance training. My focus is on doing what I can rather than worrying about what I can’t. My trapezius muscle is still a little stiff but I am getting more range of motion every day. Today has been good. Went to lunch at Benjies in Santa Ana today with one of our discords. Now I am finishing the day up and looking forward to the rest of the week.
