Lily, Liam, Alex at trivia and Mattie with puppy and flight

Updated: Apr 16, 2023


April 15, 2023: Starting this now in the morning before I even do anything just because I did that yesterday and it really helped because I didn’t do it in the night at all. So this morning I took my meds kinda late, at 8:36am with just a lot of oat milk. Then mom came over and helped me write up my list of things to say to Mississippi Market at 12:30pm. We also cleaned a ton. Went through my list and I cleaned my whole room and emptied out my bedside table. Also we created a notebook for my Spanish class. Just used an old one that used to be one of Talia’s and tore out pages. It has a pocket for other pages too. And after she left my 12pm alarm rang and I took the meds I take at noon. I also got the call from Rae, the Mississippi Market person, and it turned out to be a girl, which I was wondering. It turns out the the position I’m being offered is store clerk. She said that the location isn’t the one right by Nova that I knew. It’s actually on Selby Ave in St. Paul, not the one on West 7th. I told her all about the TBI and said I needed a set schedule. I kinda followed the list I made with mom, though I did forget to ask the pay and how long a typical shift was. She said she’ll call me back on Thursday or Friday to set up an in person interview, so that seems promising. I also had a late breakfast aka lunch, which was red berry Special K. I last ate before 12pm and then I went to the gym. So at the gym I did both of the workouts Will had given me. Then I went to the hot tub and messaged Papa a bit. Then I went home and took my meds at 3pm exactly with cheese and crackers, which I’d decided to do at the gym so I’d have enough time to be ready to eat real food with Liam and not have to worry about fat count. What I did when I got home from the gym was I talked to Papa and then looked through one of the boxes of old crap from high school like demerits and notes from friends. Already found 10 demerits only in one of the boxes so we’ll see how bad I was when I continue. Also the alarm rang saying that I can eat again, which is good to know. I’ll head over to Liam’s in a few minutes. Well I did head over to Liam’s and it was wonderful. I told him I could eat because I’d had my meds at 3pm. Basically we did trivia, which is what the first photo is from, and we lost pretty badly. We also got some Mexican food from the food truck which was El Jefe. I commented on the fact the El Jefe was a super popular restaurant and bar across the street from the place I used to work at ASU, ASU Now. I didn’t write down what I ordered but I decided to be different than what I usually do and I got the burrito bowl. It was really good, and the hot sauce on it was good too. I asked for salsa picante and they told me that they only had the bottles of sauce that were out, and I took the tapatío. Funny because usually I would have gotten tacos but I loved the burrito bowl. I also got a flight of beers, just so I could not have too much and still try a bunch of different ones. I actually did write down which ones I got this time, just on the little slips of paper they gave me with the numbers. I had the Tart Cherry Sour, Helles Handbasket sour, Lime Shandy, and the peach enigma pale ale. They were numbers 6-9 on the listing and they told me I made their job easier by choosing ones that were next to each other. I was trying to figure out which one I liked more, and it might have been the lime one. It’s the one I finished last at least. Then we went back to Liam’s for a bit and then drove over to the Sams’ house. I really should have taken a photo there when the only photo I took was of Mattie petting the dog who’s a puppy. The dog’s name was Juniper. Oh and I also met someone named JoJo and I told her she looked like my friend Natalie who I was in the accident with. So then I told them about the accident too. JoJo also had another friend there Maddie, spelled the normal way. I asked how they met and they said they met through their boyfriends, which I think is also how they came there that night. I got JoJo’s number at least, so now I have Sam’s and JoJo’s. Liam also randomly said that if I got the Mississippi Market job it would be hella close to Sam’s house. So that’s good to know, and seems kind of promising.
