6:17pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Monday evening, June 13, 2022. Had a good day; set up an interview for tomorrow morning and was contacted about two other jobs. One of them is in Phoenix, the others are in California. Not sure how viable any of them are, but I am open to explore. Nothing came of the San Diego opportunity from a couple weeks ago, or the other jobs I interviewed for, but no worries; life moves forward and so do I. Continued working on the manuscript I found last week. It has been enjoyable creating something fun.

Early to bed
6:22pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Sunday evening, June 2, 2022. Got back to Arizona from Orange County, California at 3:30pm. The drive was uneventful. I feel exhausted but ready for the new week tomorrow. Time to go to bed early, catch up on needed rest.
Saturday, June 11
5:33pm, pacific standard time, Dana Point, California, USA, Saturday evening, June 11, 2022. Had a day at the park with acquaintances to celebrate our daughter’s 8th grade promotion. Last night, a couple of friends stayed the night. The apartment was so full I slept on a blow up mattress in the dining area. Now, my daughter has a friend over to watch anime. We will leave soon to grab dinner and take the friend home.
Beach Day
8:00pm, pacific standard time, Dana Point, California, USA, Friday night, June 10, 2022. Beach day today after 8th grade promotion and lunch with family and friends.
Travel to California
8:53pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA, Thursday night, June 9, 2022. Drove from Chandler, Arizona to Dana Point, California today. After arriving in town I took my daughter and her friend to the mall to buy a birthday present, since yesterday was her mom’s birthday. We ate dinner at the food court. Now I am going to take the dog out and go to bed. Tomorrow at ten am is my daughter’s 8th grade promotion.
To fruition
6:13pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Monday evening, June 6, 2022. The virtual interview went well this morning. However, there could be an issue with a contract. They have a non-hire clause with the company I previously worked for. It unfortunately may be a dealbreaker. On different note, I did not hear back from San Diego. That is alright. I realize everyday I don’t want to go back to that role. This morning I saw new possibilities; moving back to California, taking the job I interviewed for today and doing PRN chaplain work to make up the salary difference. I have seen the solution, now I just need to bring it to fruition.
Sunday May 29
6:11pm, pacific standard time, Dana Point, California, USA, Sunday evening, May 29, 2022. Woke up around 4:30am, took the dog for a walk, got coffee and dog treats, then came home to read articles online. At 9am I went for a quick work out, followed by some grocery shopping and a good bathroom cleaning. This afternoon we visited friends for a small get together and bbq. Now we are home relaxing for the rest of the evening.
Saturday, May 28
3:08pm, pacific standard time, in a restaurant, Mission Viejo, California, USA, Saturday afternoon, May 28, 2022. Slept in until six thirty this morning. Then I took the dog for a walk, got coffee, caught up with my daughter’s mom, worked out and showered. At 1:30pm we headed out, picked up a friend and bought party supplies for an upcoming get together. Now my daughter and her friend are having an afternoon snack before we head home. I am sitting in a different part of the restaurant so they can have time to talk and hang out.
I remain open to anything
3:11pm, pacific standard time, parking lot, Phoenix, Arizona, USA, Thursday afternoon, May 26, 2022. The meeting about severance with the previous company went well. I will have the document reviewed just to be sure but, it does help bridge the gap. Also, the interview in Glendale was positive this afternoon. It is a fast growing start up company. The opportunity is excellent but, the position won’t be available until August. That is too far away to be an option for me. I have one more virtual meeting today at 5pm. From what I gather it is with a senior living company in Orange County, California starting their own hospice. It might be a bootstrap operation for a while. Not sure how it will go but, I remain open to anything.
Job updates, Wednesday, May 25
3:28pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Wednesday afternoon, May 25, 2022. Busy day today; finally have a meeting tomorrow morning to discuss my severance with the previous company. After that, I drive to Glendale for an in-person interview to explore the Senior Leadership position I was contacted for yesterday. Finally, I have a virtual interview with a hospice in Orange County, California tomorrow evening at 5pm. A lot of options available, now it is time to see which is the best one.
