Hot Pot with Minnesota Gals Making Friends

March 23, 2024

It’s 100% the next day now. For yesterday, I have yet another day that looks fantastic from photos, but I was still very depressed. I almost didn’t go, but I attended a meetup from the Minnesota Gals Making Friends Facebook group. We went out to a Hot Pot restaurant. Tragically, I wasn’t really hungry, but I still ate some food. Just one more example of the cancer wrecking my life by not allowing me to want to eat. It feels like it’s just telling me that some higher power doesn’t want anything to ever matter to me. In a way, the brain injury was actually a positive at the meetup because it gave me something to explain to them. I just feel like the only way to bond with people is by sharing struggles, and I was able to do that by asking them for a photo for my “brain injury blog.” The girl sitting next to me, Anita, was a nurse somewhere, and she understood a little bit better than the other other girls, I think. And then at night, I also went out to go to trivia with Liam, and I did take one of my extra BeReals there, but I don’t need to put that in here. The only other random thing that happened is Liam got me kind of interested in listening to books on tape, which he has always done because of his dyslexia.
