Hannah at Town Hall Tap

April 21, 2023: Well I’m writing some of it ahead of time again. Well this morning I had my meds kinda late, at like 8:43am. Then on my way out of the parking lot mom called me and told me she’s coming over on Saturday morning even though I’m going over to Talia’s at 11am. Then I went into my personal training with Will. We had a normal, good workout. I also learned during the session that Will has a girlfriend, which just came up because he found someone’s wedding ring on the ground and then I asked him when the last time he dated someone was, and his answer was “currently.” The other thing I did during training was I randomly took the step count off the home screen off of my watch because I realized I was looking at it too much. I’m trying to be less obsessed with that, so now it just has messages in the place where I used to have steps. Then I went to the hot tub and used my new purple swim suit. I kind of thought afterwards that I wished I hadn’t showered yesterday because I’d like to have showered today. I didn’t though, just finished and drove home a bit after 11am. It’s funny I’d actually brought Hannah’s present with me to the gym for tonight but then I realized I wanted to change my shoes and shirt anyways, so I drove home to do that on the way to Papa’s. Then at Papa’s I ate leftover Chinese food that he cooked up in the frying pan. Then after that we played a ton of Canasta. I started off losing terribly, by over a thousand points, but then I crept back and actually got to 5000 first. Then I was texted Hannah and she and we realized that because Afro Grill was a Somali place, it would be super busy with Muslims celebrating Eid today, so we decided to go somewhere else for our dinner and card games. Now we’re gonna go to Town Hall Tap, which she is driving me to from my house. We’d still like to try Afro Grill some time, but not during Eid. Funny enough I already told Hannah the receptionist at the gym I was gonna go there, so next time I see her I’ll have to tell her that I actually didn’t do it yet. So I’m done now, will finish the rest after dinner. Ok, Town Hall Tap was amazing. So when I gave Hannah her present she said, “I always have need of another journal.” So it was a good present, even though I’d been second guessing it in the last few days. We talked about how we kind of both gave each other some form of notebook for our birthdays. For our beers I had a New Belgian, a sour, which I asked for. And then I got the Hoegaarden when I asked for something that was kind of like a sour even though they didn’t have any more sours. Then for food I got the Peppercorn Ranch Burger, specifically because it said it had fried onions on it. And then the fried onions were the best part. I also asked Hannah how she makes friends as an adult after school is done. She said she hasn’t made a ton of friends since the ones she met the first week of college, and she also told me that most of the people she sees now are from work or rugby, and then she pushed me to get a hobby yet again. I did tell her that the Spanish class was good at least, though I’m not sure that’s quite a hobby yet. Hers is rugby. Then when she was driving me home I talked a bit about how before the accident I wasn’t even sure I wanted kids and now I kinda feel like having kids would cement me into adulthood. So I’m still not quite sure about it, but it’s way more appealing to me now than it was before. Oh and also Hannah kinda definitely beat me at Canasta. We’re not sure if we actually finished a whole game to 5000 points, but she was way ahead even if we didn’t. I did show her the scores from earlier today when I’d played with Papa, showing her how I’d been way behind by like 1000 and then came back and won. So at least I did that and showed her that too. And well we'd already decided that I'd take my meds after eating tonight because they were so late this morning, so I think I last ate around 7pm, definitely no later than 8pm, so I'm just taking the night meds with a cup and a half of oat milk for 12g of fat at 10pm exactly.
