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.

Things will look different

4:26pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Wednesday afternoon, August 3, 2022. More time spent writing today. I also got the oil changed and tires rotated on the car. It is time to plan logistics and prepare for new routines. Chances are I will leave for Orange County a week from tomorrow and start my new job from there. Hard to believe I won’t be spending much time in Arizona any more. I haven’t given notice on my apartment but I also will not be renewing my lease. One way or the other things will look different at the beginning of next year.

Car care

6:39pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Wednesday evening, July 6, 2022. Today was about car care; got the chips in my windshield fixed, the brakes replaced and the air filters changed out. Now the car is road ready for the next couple months. On the work front; no word on the two jobs in California . Although, a recruiter did call regarding a sales position in the Los Angeles, California market. I am not sure it is the job for me but I am willing to be open minded.

Getting Dirty

8:10am, in my office, Phoenix, Arizona, Thursday morning, December 2, 2021. On my way to work I stopped to get gas and wash my car. When I pulled out a group of guys were cleaning the adjacent parking lot with leaf blowers. At least the left half of my car is clean.

Sunday morning

9:20am you are in the bedroom in Dana point. You woke up this morning and went for a walk with the dog. You got gas and washed the car, bought treats for the dog then coffee with breakfast for everyone. Your daughter is showing you videos she made. She is being so creative. She is proud and happy. That is all you care about in the world.

My Objective

At my last corporate job my salary was $140,000 a year. I had a company car. I had a company credit card. I traveled six days a week. Other than the fixed costs of housing and utilities I had few expenses.
I quit that job to do better, to achieve more.
What is better? What is more?
My objective is to reach annual income of $200,000.
