Hannah’s w/parents, BeReal w/Papa, Jodi, Grandma, Talia bday w/Rosie


July 4, 2023: Alright well today started kind of slow but it developed into something a bit more interesting. Basically in the morning I texted Papa and asked if it’d be ok to come over before he was done walking Rosie, and he said yeah, and I did. I got over there at like 7am and even was able to say hi to Talia when she was leaving for work. She asked why I was over there, and I said that I liked to hang out there a lot.


Then I also figured out that Hannah said I could come to a family picnic for 4th of July, though I have to be careful not to eat past 2pm, because I wanna take my meds early enough that I can eat during Talia’s dinner with no worry of fat count. It’s kind of good that I accidentally took my meds wayy too early today, so now I can do them a bit over 12 hours apart from each other and still be in time to be able to eat at Talia’s dinner. I just need to make sure not to eat at Hannah’s parents’ past 2pm, so I can take my meds at 4pm and eat dinner at around 6pm.


Ok I did it! I went over to Hannah’s parents’ house, and the picnic they were gonna go to was cancelled because of the rain. I did make sure to have a bratwurst well before 2pm, but then her mom made me a bit of a salad too, and I didn’t finish it til 2:07pm. We talked about personal stuff with Hannah’s mom a bit too, and had some good talks. She’s going back to school now to get her PhD in educational psychology. I know I even asked her when we’d be able to play four-person Canasta with my dad. Tragically we didn’t do that today, but there’s loose plans for the future. Basically what happened was Hannah and her mom were leaving to visit her grandma in the hospital at the end, and that’s about when I left too. Then I drove back to my dad’s house. When I got there, right after four, I decided to do my "night" meds at 4:07pm, aka the first time I could. I took them with an 11g fat strawberry yogurt.


Oh and also randomly today, I messaged a cancer doctor about the exact number of grams of fat I should be doing the meds with. My mom and I had disagreements about whether the minimum was 9g or 11g, though we know the maximum is 14g. Oh and I also reposted my Fogo review from the 20th on the Google maps app too, the one that mentions like three of the servers, since I know what a big deal it is for them to be mentioned by name. I got a few free bottles of wine for that, when I was a server.


Then, once I was at Papa’s house, I also decided I was randomly feeling a bit tired, so I just went to his room and took an hour or so nap. By the time I got up, Talia was already there. We ate homemade burgers together, with some Jodi-salad and mom’s pasta salad. I also was able to use the lime juice I chose at Cub the other day, the one that says it could have been margarita mix. I just used it as lime juice though, because that’s the only one they had. Failed to make a single margarita. And then we had a cherry pie with ice cream for desert.
