Match 24, 2026 – Texas

It has been a few days since I have written anything.

Over the weekend, AJ and I worked on the flower bed in the front yard, and I think it turned out really well. We also returned the Lovesac couch she had talked me into getting. It just did not work for us. The dog hair stuck to it constantly, and the gaps between the cushions made it uncomfortable.

A couple of days ago, AJ signed the family up for a membership at the local YMCA. Last night was our first time going. It was alright. I spent some time walking on the treadmill, but AJ was not really able to get a workout in because AE would not leave her alone long enough. He eventually went into the pool and ended up hanging out with another kid, while AJ and I just sat in the lobby waiting for him to finish.

This morning I ordered a new Apple Watch. The Garmin watch has been fine, but I am tired of dealing with the charging cables. They never seem to stay connected properly, and it has become more of a hassle than it is worth. Since my Apple Watch is about four years old, it felt like a good time to upgrade to something with a better battery.

I was supposed to fly out to Springfield, Missouri for work, but those plans changed because the TSA lines were too long to make the trip practical. Since I am not flying out, I will be helping another PSM down in Houston on Thursday and will be back home on Friday.

I had planned to reach out to CL today to see if he had a plan to catch up on what he owes, but I decided not to. I am concerned that if I push him too hard, he will take it out on AJ. I think that may already be part of why she has been acting differently at home.

With the baby on the way, I expect they are going to run into even bigger issues. The car they have is already too small, and I do not see how they are going to fit three car seats in it. I had previously offered to buy the car back, but he wanted more than what he paid, which does not make sense considering he is still paying me for it. At this point, that offer is off the table. I honestly do not know how they are going to make things work, especially when no one in that household seems willing to get a job.

All in all, it was a fairly quiet day otherwise.
