Canasta with Mom, tacos, ice cream and dinner with Ernie and Kate

August 27, 2023:

Ok a little bit less happened today, but it was still full. First thing in the morning, I took my meds at 8am with a Häagen-Dazs vanilla bean yogurt that Jodi had bought me, with 11g of fat. I did it a bit later in the day because I knew that I'd be going to a dinner tonight. Then mom came over a bit past 9:30am, and she helped me empty out my fridge and clean a bit. After that, she took me back to her house and we had our lunch, which was some tacos with ground beef. They were quite good. After that, we played a full game of Canasta together. She won by a lot. It was like 5700 to 3500. Then, we got some ice cream from Ben & Jerry’s, and I got the Loco Coco, which was a little spicy. Then, back at her house, I played a world capital quiz game a bit and messaged some people too. Tragically I didn’t really end up reading the book she’d suggested that I bring with me in the morning, which was a Tamora Pierce book. Maybe I’ll read it later tonight. Then, she drove us over to Kate and Ernie’s house, where we went to have a dinner with the two of them. The dinner was some steak, which I ate with cholula hot sauce, and some potato salad and some broccoli salad from Lunds. After dinner, we had some ice cream with chocolate sauce, and bits of banana too. I noted that I’d last eaten at 6:54pm for the meds, so now I’m gonna take my night meds at 9pm, which isn’t too far off the time I took them this morning, which I did on purpose because I knew my schedule for the day. So what I did was I had them at 9pm with about 2.5 cups of oat milk that said it was 5g of fat per cup. I did that because I wasn’t hungry whatsoever because I’d already eaten a filling dinner.

Grateful things: I have family who loves me, the loco coco ice cream was quite good, and I appreciate being able to play the card game Canasta as much as I am able to.
