Methodist Clipboard and Mikkel Desk

August 1, 2023: I just headed out to Methodist first thing in the morning and didn’t even put makeup on. That should have been a clue that I wasn’t on top of my game. Before that, I also spent 27 minutes on calls with Mayo Clinic trying to get the nutrition visit that I had cancelled re-scheduled. Ended up having to call the cancer team to get them to allow me to do it. I actually first was told they could do it, but not on video. Then they actually called me back and did let me do it. I literally got transferred between like 3-4 different people several times. At Methodist it was very busy and I was able to use my Spanish to help many people. Basically at Methodist I did a ton of translation work, and that was good moment in my day. I didn’t take a picture with anyone though because I figured I’d do it at Open Door. The only picture I took is one of my clipboard. I was busy. Then I thought I’d basically go straight to Open Door because Mikkel said she was in, and I wanted to talk to her. It’s funny, I actually kind of forgot what I wanted to talk about at first, but then I saw her and I remembered. It was basically asking what the communications meetings were about, that she invited me to a week ago. Then we also talked about me taking pictures at the 5k, and also some possible social media or graphic design work I could do for them. And she also showed me the new camera they got for Open Door, where for some reason the lens wasn’t fitting onto the Canon Rebel body they got. I didn’t think to take a picture with Mikkel, but I know she would have said yes. What I did actually is later in the night I just took a picture of her desk because I had realized that i didn’t have a picture of her. During my evening I learned that a high school girl named Clair is also employed there. I was surprised by that, since I’d never seen her before. Honestly a big piece of my depression is that I didn’t take any photos yesterday. Usually I do them to capture good moments. But I was incredibly depressed yesterday so I didn’t. Oh and another reason I was depressed was that I messed up my meds again. I took them in the morning at 8am, but then I got confused and thought I hadn’t, so I took another set of morning meds at 12:05pm. I phoned Dr. Go’s office at Mayo to get advice about what to do again, and they told me just to skip my “night” pills that day. It wasn’t that bad a problem in the end, but my confusing about it really brings me down. After I got home from Open Door, I called Papa and he came over and helped me sort out my meds a little bit better.
