Hannah at Lake of Legends and Liam at Neighborhood Cafe

Feb. 15, 2023: Today has so far been an amazing first day away from Fogo. I haven’t even seen Hannah yet. Today I met up with Liam for brunch. Hannah is here now. Ok I’m continuing this later. It was literally the best first day away from Fogo ever. I’m definitely happy today. To start off with I drove over to Liam’s house and then we went to Neighborhood Cafe. We were also considering a place called Yam’s right next door but decided against it. Thank fuck I have my notes. Liam also suggested something called fumes or Kandy Special K to quit vaping. I also told him that I’d brought my laptop and that my cold was gone because I had a lot of DayQuil and NyQuil. Also learned that Liam just celebrated his 4th anniversary with Lily. We went to The Neighborhood Cafe because he’d been there before and liked it. I had the carnitas breakfast burrito with hash browns which were really good. Had hot sauce too. I also told Liam that my dad thinks I put too much sugar in coffee. I got a coffee with a fair amount of sugar in it and he got a black tea. He also said that the last time we hung out I was kind of bummed just because I was confused about things. I also told him that what he said the other day about securing safety and security and something to do with all your time was very helpful to me, and frankly it’s still the way I’m thinking about everything. After breakfast we also went to Fed Ex so he could scan some house drawing he’d done. I randomly got 2000 steps exactly in Fed Ex. I also told him that I have pretty much all the even thousands up to 20,000. Thank you Fogo for that. We then stopped at Liam’s house and he gave the extra food he’d bought to Lily. Then we went over to Alex Christensen’s house and fed his parents’ cats. We looked up New Girl but they didn’t have the platform for it, so we watched How I Met Your Mother. I told him about the time in high school I watched like 7 seasons of HIMYM in two weeks, in freshman year of high school. It was honestly amazing to watch it. He said that honestly the last couple times we’ve watfched TV I haven’t been hella into it, but this time I was. Thank you, How I Met Your Mother. Maybe I’ll watch more of it now alone. I also wrote down that I wanna have roommates like they do on HIMYM. We also read out a few license plates and I said that I always do that with my dad. We also made a new playlist for me. Funny because I’ve been really wanting to do that, and today I did. It’s called Reboot 1.0 for 2023. I added a bunch of the songs that I’d favorited before, and also some that Liam and I talked about. It’s the playlist I’ll listen to while driving now. We also listened to Try Me by Elijah who we went to middle school with. Maybe I’ll add that to my playlist too. I also had my meds at 5:04 tonight just 4 minuts after 5 because I wouldn’t find my purse for a minute. Then I went home and typed up the first line of this and then Hannah picked me up and drove me to Lake of Legends Brewery. At Lake of Legends I had the winter tonic sour and Hannah had the St. Gail raspberry honey ale. It was cool because it was dog friendly so she brought Hazel the German Shepherd inside with us. Our table was a bit wobbly so we put napkins under one side. I bought a pizza for us, a breakfast pizza with bacon, sausage and eggs, and it was 13$. It’s in the photo too. Then we played a lot of Canasta. Amazing beause I literally had play canasta with Hannah on my AnyDo and I even showed that to her. My next pages of notes are all just details about the Canasta scoring and how to play. I won’t type that up here. Will do it somewhere else though. I told her that it was an amazing first day away from Fogo and she said that even if every day isn’t this good she hopes that I continue on the upward trend. I think if I’m able to drive places alone I will. I’m ending at 6,002 tonight. Good for a day without working. I also just called Papa and we figured out that I can pick mom up at the airport tomorrow. He said that I deserve good days.
