This is a diary of Monday, February 26, 2024.

3:50 a.m. My alarm goes off. I get up, unlock the door, and wait for Dustin, daughter Loretta, and their two boys to arrive. After getting them settled down for a nap, Dustin leaves for work at the RV factory. Son Joeseph gets up too, as he’s leaving earlier today to do concrete work.
