Hannah with mimosas and Ceviche 28 with Hannah and mom

May 6, 2023: So today I had my meds at 7am at Papa’s house. I listened to La Vida Incompleta de John Lennon on the way over. Before I went over there I called him to double check my packing again. Then Hannah came over and Papa drove both of us to the airport together. We had to get there like three hours early because Papa had mock trial practice around the flight time, so we just sat at a bar and talked for a couple hours at the airport. It was a place called Stone Arch and when we were there Hannah suggested the pineapple mimosa, which we both got. Then we had an amazing conversation at the bar. I also got an egg white sandwich, and the combination of the drink and that and the tip was quite expensive, and Hannah said that that’s what my dad was talking about with “frivolous spending” being alright. Then we walked to the terminal for the flight at 11:48am. Then I had my noon meds at 12:01 not 12pm because the guy at Starbucks had to pour me a cup of water. Then on the flight I thought I might work on the yearbook, but I didn’t do that. Instead I watched the best movie in Spanish ever. It was called No Manches Frida, and it had subtitles in English. It was amazing, and I tried to understand as much of it as I could without the subtitles. I even took a couple pages of notes on slang and specific terms and vocabulary that came up. The English subtitles were good for defining words for sure. That was why I didn’t have to look up as much, though I did a lot of that too, just in the SpanishDict app that doesn’t use the internet to search for words. On the plane I also used my portable phone charger, because my phone started at around 50%. Hannah and I tragically didn't do the thing I’d told my Spanish teacher about where we spoke only Spanish on the plane, but I did go to the bathroom and sit in someone else’s seat on the way back and I told her all about doing that in Spanish. For my drink on the plane I had tomato juice that was actually Bloody Mary mix, and they warned me that it would be spicy. I really thought it was even better that way that it would have been otherwise. I also randomly didn’t have to put my purse or my fanny pack in my backpack, which my mom had thought I would have to do. I also noted that I last ate at 1:48pm for my meds. After No Manches Frida was over I went back to the beginning and watched the first scene again, where the main character is getting out of prison. Then I also told Hannah all about the movie and summarized it a bit and she told me that I had to recommend the movie to her mother, who was also a Spanish teacher. I also took my meds right when I got off the plane, at 4:48pm with a 14g fat bar. By this point I’d already gotten to 16 pages of notes, with all the words I wrote down from No Manches Frida. Then my mom picked us up from the airport. She actually mentioned that she didn’t like the rental car because it was too long or something, and she said that she’ll try to change the car and put one of us on there. Then Hannah talked about the fact that her brother Chris wants to buy a duplex to rent in Northeast, and I told her that I’d happily rent from him. She said he’s far from actually buying one, but that’s the goal. Then the three of us drove well over an hour just to get to Vero Beach and the Peruvian restaurant we were going to. The Peruvian Restaurant we went to was called Ceviche 28, and my mom had gone there alone just like three days ago. For drinks, I got the one the waitress recommended to me, the Pisco Breeze, and Hannah and mom tried it and they liked it. Then we ordered our food, and I got the Lomo Saltado with salsa verde with jalapeño. Mom also got the anticuchos, which came with some cotton candy, and I asked the server, who was from Cuba, how to say cotton candy in Spanish, and she said it was algodón de azucar, literally cotton of candy. Then for our dessert we thought we might be too full, but we got it and we weren’t. We got the Crema Volteada and Cheesecake de Maracuyá, which the server recommended. When we finished we had two boxes of food to take home, plus one just for the ceviche that we hadn’t eaten. It was supposed to be an appetizer, but they messed up and didn’t bring it in time. Then my mom drove us back to the condo, which is at a place called “Del Mar.” We got into the rooms and then we just sat on the porch for a bit and the three of us watched waves. That was nice. Well I just talked to Hannah going to sleep and it made me feel better. I told her about how I’m kind of feeling limited in general and like I’ll never be able to make new friends or work a social job. She said that as long as I don’t stay in my basement all day I’ll meet people, and I said that I don’t even have a basement so it’s impossible for me to do that. God this trip is making me miss Hannah even more than I had already. We also talked today about how I’ve built up the time we had together, back at Stone Arch, and she said she feels the same way about living with her friends in college, an experience that I never had. I’m also onto my 21st page of notes now, with the last page just saying that I talked during dinner about how I feel like I’ll never be happy again, and sat on the porch and watched the waves. Ok, I'm done.
