Kathy and mom at the Lowry and me with Kathy in condo


July 30, 2023: Alright I’m doing this on the day of. Or at least starting it. Clearly I already have some photos. Today I drove back from Liam’s house and got home at 8am. Then, Jodi and Bill came by to pick me up to take me to mom’s house so they could pick up a sofa she wants to leave at my dad’s house when she moves. While they were there, mom gave them an extensive tour of the Nordhaus building, and walked them through the pool area, the gyms, and other things. We even saw a little art museum that they keep in the basement area of the building. Then, mom took me to the brunch we had scheduled with Kathy. For the brunch we went to a place called The Lowry. I had the tuna poké bowl, and also the oat milk double latte they served in a can. That’s also where we took our photo of all of us. Funny enough, I also learned that Kathy had had a brain injury too. I had not known that, only that my mom met her in a mom’s club from when I was a toddler/baby. She also paid for us all, which was really nice of her. After the brunch, mom drove us both over to check out the new condo she bought, for the first time. She hasn’t officially moved in yet, but it’s coming. At the condo we looked at the paintings that she’d moved in already, and mom showed us around the place a bit, even going down to the pool, which tragically has no hot tub. Around this time, she also took the picture of Kathy and I sitting on her couch. Then, after Kathy left, mom and I drove over to Trader Joe’s to do a little shopping. We got a ton of high fat yogurts for my meds, and also experimented with some 0 fat yogurts so I can eat something close to the time of the meds. After we went to Trader Joe’s and got most everything on my list, we went back to the apartment to grab some more boxes of things to move, and also a phone charger because my phone was dying. So we took a few more trips between the two places. Eventually, it was time for the family Zoom call, so we did that on my laptop. Good that I’d brought it, because mom didn’t have a computer with her at the time. And then we did a little more bringing stuff between the two places. Honestly I’m 100% sure that I messed up the order of some of these things. I probably missed a few things that happened too. Honestly the only reason I can write through it at all is because tonight, when I was ready to take my night meds, Papa actually came over with some Lunds fried chicken and salad with 0 fat dressing. So I took the night meds with those things, at 6:43pm. Not quite when I took them this morning, but pretty close. The other very helpful thing we did was we talked through my whole day and I took notes on the order in which many things happened. Oh and now I’m going to bed a bit early because I have to wake up tomorrow morning insanely early for a Make A Wish airport greeter shift. I’ll take a shower first though.
