I am feeling better

4:55pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Sunday afternoon, October 2, 2022. It was one more day of rest and football today. Thankfully, I am feeling better and have a direct flight to Oakland. I will sleep in tomorrow, do my morning meetings, then travel to California for a busy week.

Two more days to recuperate

6:29pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Friday evening, September 30, 2022. I got back to Chandler at 8pm last night then went straight to bed. I am sick and exhausted. I went out to buy cold medicine this afternoon but, other than that, I have spent the day in bed resting. I have two more days to recuperate before heading back to Dublin.

Sleep and recuperate

2:14pm, pacific standard time, Sacramento, California, USA airport. Thursday afternoon, September 29, 2022. Last night I started feeling under the weather. Rather than go to the office this morning I worked from the hotel, then drove to the Sacramento airport. My flight to San Diego boards soon, then I connect to Phoenix. I should be in my apartment by 8:30pm. I need to sleep the entire weekend and recuperate.

I wonder if he would be proud?

6:46pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Dublin, California, USA, Wednesday evening, September 28, 2022. Notable things from today; I spent time at the office in Dublin catching up on reports. I came back to the hotel this evening and enjoyed a quiet dinner and I had a good workout this morning. On a personal note; I have been thinking about my dad the last couple of days. It will be sixteen years next month since he passed away. I wonder if he would be proud of who I have become?

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.

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.
