Hot tub and Hannah at Nails & Co.


May 5, 2023: Alright I’ve got a lot today and I haven’t even seen Hannah yet. I had my meds at 5:55am with a cup and a half of oat milk, then I edited my photo from yesterday a bit and I decided to not go over to Papa’s before Whitney, but maybe I’ll do it after. Then I went to the gym for training and texted Hannah to confirm that I’m not having dinner with her tonight because she’s doing dinner with her family. When I was leaving for the gym I got like a block away and then remembered that I needed my headphones, so I went back and grabbed them. I got to the gym at 8am, which was super early for my 10am training session. Then for the time in between I listened to some Spanish podcasts at the gym for about 45 minutes, including one about John Lennon and one about JFK. I also sent Liam another picture of my earring that I had only one of left, and he told me that he still hadn’t found the other one at his house. I also talked to the old guy who I always see wearing a shirt that says “Brasil” and I asked him if he was from Brazil, which I’ve always wondered. He’s not, he just said that he got it in Nicaragua actually, and the guy he was with was his son. I also tried the leg press leaving it at the weight it was at already, which was 340 pounds, aka way way way too much. I did a bit of the rower before training. Then I had my training session, which was good. The best part about it is that Will told me exactly what I should get to eat at a poke bowl place. What I wrote down from him was tuna, salmon, pineapple, cucumbers, yum yum sauce. Will also told me something that he said I should tell my therapist, which I just did, that going on vacation with Hannah is like living with Hannah again, which I loved. Well Will also told me that the poke place like 1.7 miles away isn’t too far, and to have fun in Florida, so that was it for training. So then what I did right after training was I went to the hot tub in a suit that I’m not bringing to Florida, which I have a photo of, and then I showered, which was my last shower before Florida, so I was careful to shave well. Then I went to the place that Will and I had talked about, Poke House & Tea Bar, and I got the order that he had suggested to me. It was amazing, maybe better than Hawaii Poke Bowl. They also have a 2$ mochi ice cream that looks interesting, and that I didn’t get today. Then drove home and ate, last eating at 12:30pm, for the meds, and then I did my therapy session where I told her the thing that Will had told me to mention. Might go over to Papa’s before meeting Hannah at 5pm now. Alright I went over to Papa’s and we played some Canasta and I had some tropical guava Naked juice. Then I went to meet up with Hannah, and Papa reminded me to leave. I got there a few minutes before 5pm and Hannah wasn’t there for like 10 minutes. I called her at 5pm and she said she was stuck in traffic for a bit. Then we had an amaszing conversation during our pedicure. I told her about Papa’s idea to have me get nails the same color as my eyes, and she helped me pick one that was a close blue but also had sparkles in it. She joked that that means my eyes are sparkly. Hannah got some kind of peach or tan nails, which she said was her favorite color to paint her nails. I also took my BeReal with Hannah, which is in here too. We talked a lot about how excited we were for the Florida trip, and she said she’ll come over to Papa’s in the morning and she asked me if she should park in the front or the back. I figured out later and texted her that she should park in the back. My medication alarm rang during the pedicure and I didn’t take it because there wasn’t anything to eat for dinner and I like to have it with my dinner and have my dinner be the right amount of fat. So what I did was I waited til I drove back to Papa’s house and we made some Indian food from Trader Joe’s. I had the fiery chicken curry, which said it had 13g fat, so I had most of it and then also a piece of naan. Then we finished our game of Canasta and Papa came over to my house to double check my packing with me. Honestly the packing looks pretty good, we just figured out that I should refill my medication boxes through next Saturday and there was one shirt I had on my list I hadn't packed. He's gonna do a phone call with me tomorrow morning before I come over to double check everything, and make sure I have all the chargers.
