Jigsaw failure over Methodist volunteer

February 24, 2024

Another yesterday, yet again. Maybe this just proves that the TBI has made my memory horrific. Yesterday I started off the day volunteering at Methodist in the morning for their once a month distribution of food on Saturday. There wasn’t that much need for translation from me at Methodist because there was a lady there named Maria who was from Mexico City, so she did most of it when it was needed. I took my meds right before I went, at 8:04 am with an Atkins shake and a sip of olive oil. After I went home, we tried to work on the jigsaw puzzle I’d started with Jodi, but we ended up just taking it apart and putting it back in the box because it was too hard without a picture of the jigsaw to base it off of. At night we watched How to Train Your Dragon 2, which I’d never seen before. During that movie, I decided that maybe there doesn’t have to be a dramatic event in my life to make me happy. Maybe it’s just accepting and appreciating the things that already are in my life. That thought also led me to thinking that I just need to fight for the ability to enjoy my volunteer work, and if I can get that everythign else might fall into place. So it was not a super day, but it felt really accurate to how I’m doing.
