Canasta with Papa


Feb. 23, 2023: Well today kind of sucked but it was alright. This morning I met with Ubah on video and I told her that I didn’t find her stuff that useful and she suggested we go down to meetings once every two weeks. Today I also had yogurt and granola for breakfast which I remembered to do during the meeting with Ubah. I couldn’t find my other notebook this morning so I started writing in the bigger purple one I got from Wallgreens the other day. I also walked around my apartment a bit and got to 1,001 steps. Papa also called me after the Whitney appointment and he invited me over for lunch. When I was going to drive over my car was stuck in the snow so two guys from my apartment pushed it out. Didn’t get their names even but they lived in my apartment. Then I drove over to Papa’s house and played a few rounds of Canasta with him. He invited Jodi over but she couldn’t come. We continued the Canasta game from the other day and I won massively. At the end it was 6,255 to 4,870. I admit that today I was feeling like my photo of the day project doesn’t even matter because I didn’t have a good session with Whitney and didn’t read all of my photos. I did email her and say that and she said that it was a good insight and that the photos absolutely still matter. I also right before I left asked Papa the ways I’ve improved in the last couple months, just because I wanted to feel better about something, anything. He said that I’m on top of my schedule and I remember forgetting things, have more of an interest in other activities like reading, reach out to people to connect with them and do a good job of improvising to fix and find things I mess up. Like the other day when I went to Harbor Freight instead of Home Depot and still managed to get the lock I needed. Tonight I also video chatted Joe again and set up a tentative plan for March 14. Papa said that the plan to do science museum and mini golfing sounds good. Now I’m just home watching How I Met Your Mother on Alex’s Hulu. I also had a BLT for dinner that I bought the stuff for with Talia the other day. Texted her that I did that too and told her the mayo was a good call. I’m ending at only 4,031 just because I walked the dog with Papa. Oh well, 5k would have been nice but oh well. Today I also made a plan with Hannah for Saturday. She’s gonna come over and watch a movie at 12pm.
