Barre with Debbie and Room


March 15, 2023: Well I went to the barre class at the gym. I also talked to Debbie the instructor quite a bit. Before I went in I had a blueberry bagel with cream cheese, which is on my list of food I can eat with my meds. Also had my Turalio at 7:55. What I did was I set the alarm for 7:55 so I’d have time to eat before my meds and then I took the meds 5 minutes early. So now I’ve relabeled the alarms to “make breakfast for Turalio” and “Turalio with breakfast every day.” When I walked in I asked where Hannah the receptionist is. Turns out she’s on vacation for the week. In yoga we used long green rubber bands that were different. The yoga class was good. I talked to Debbie a ton after the class at the end. I told her about the accident and the brain injury and disability and everything, including some personal stuff. Also told her that with the brain injury I forget everything and that’s why I do this project, and at least I’ve always remembered her name. I told her the gym was the first place that I was able to drive alone. At the end of the talk I also told her that if she’s ever not happy, just be grateful you don’t have a TBI. She asked me what was moving me forward now. I told her that this project is the main way I cope with the TBI and my memory loss. Tragically I forgot to bring my headphones to the gym today, speaking of forgetting. After I talked to Debbie I did some of my workout from Will. I did about half of workout #1 and didn’t even touch workout #2. Then I went to go to the hot tub and the hot tub was closed for cleaning, which the life guard said it was every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month, which I think I remembered right. It was literally drained. So I just wandered around the kids pool, which was nice and warm, in my swim suit while I texted Hannah some personal stuff. Ah well, I was trying to hang out with Eleanor today but she said that she has a dentist appointment so can’t today. She also told me that she’s actually getting a new job. After the pool I went to shower and in the middle of the shower my Ritalin alarm rang. I went to get it, I’d just forgotten that I took the entire pill box case mini box with me today, so I had it at 12:01 not 12pm. When I was leaving I talked to the office person Amy a bit and told her that Debbie had suggested a pilates reformer class. That one is paid, which I feel like could be paid for out of my insurance money, and is 20$. But there’s also a mat pilates for free on Fridays. Ah well, I also threw a picture of my room in here just because I spent half the day in bed getting my Any.Do stuff done. I marked off “put Wednesday pill box in purse,” because Papa told me to do that instead of using plastic baggies. I also successfully got Flickr pro, although I haven’t yet uploaded my 2022 phone photos to an album like I did with 2021. I also put some gallon bags in my car and did some photo of the days that I hadn’t done on the day in the past.
