Bernie workout, Neighborhood House, Coffee Meetup

March 27, 2024

I had a blood test at 9:10 this morning, so I had told Bernie that I wasn’t going to be able to work out. I went early though, and I got finished early, so I actually did manage to make it to the gym by 9am, which is our normal workout time on Wednesdays. Bernie wasn’t there though, so I popped into a mat pilates class for an hour or so, and then worked out with Bernie at 10am, which is my normal yoga time. I chose not to go to that because I’d be being more active working out with Bernie, and I popped my head in and the normal instructor Debi was replaced with a sub today. Afterwards, I did my normal Wednesday volunteering at Neighborhood House. I have to admit, my life is kind of going “perfectly” right now, I just can’t seem to enjoy any of it. I’m not sure if that’s because of being on disability and not feeling like I’m working for the money I have coming in, not feeling like I’m living in my own house, or maybe it goes back to having so much of my life controlled by the stupid cancer. Tonight I’m going to attend a meetup for Minnesota 20 and 30 somethings. Ok, now I went to the meetup and it was actually wonderful. I realized after I arrived that it was actually a meetup for people with this one mental illness that I don't have to meet up. In a way, I felt more understood by them than by pretty much anyone else. They understood the struggle of not being able to work due to being on disability, and having to find ways to fill all your time. The people I met up with were Owen, the group organizer, Karen, who said to call her “nice Karen.” and Amy, who’s on the right of the photo.
