Mom, Yoga with Lisa, food and Canasta with Jodi, Bill, Papa


April 24, 2023: Well dear God I have so much to say. Today was interesting. Well in the morning mom came by and literally made me delete about 5000 photos from my phone and organize my desktop and go through my whole downloads folder. Then we went over to her house and she had me delete a ton more photos. I think my phone started at 14,700 something and it ended at 10,000. She told me her goal was for me to get down to 10k, and then I did it. For our lunch we had Greek salad with chicken, feta, kalamata olives. We also sorted through my whole downloads folder on my computer and she told me that if I had more time she’d like me to sort through more on my computer. She also dyed my eyebrows again and bought me some more jelly beans from the Able account money. We decided that Papa would take me and Hannah to the airport on the 6th, he’ll just have to do it a little bit early because he has a mock trial scrimmage. I texted Hannah about that. I decided to put the stickers on my car after mom left, so I put on the ASU sticker and the queen bee sticker. Unfortunately I put the ASU sticker a little bit too close to the Sacred Siren sticker. I’d put a picture of that in here if I had a little more space. Then I went to the JCC to do yoga with Jodi and Bill. Unfortunately because I hadn’t brought my gym bag they had to look up my name to get me in, although the receptionist did know my name at least. Even though it wasn’t Hannah. We did 4:30 yoga with Lisa and it was great. I even took a selfie with Lisa after the class and told her about this project. During yoga I decided that one thing I would love to do in Florida is find a yoga class there, and after the class was over I texted Mom about doing that. Tragically I realized that I’d like to shower while I was there because my hair was a touch dirty, and I didn’t have my gym bag so I didn’t have my shower stuff, so after the yoga class I actually went home and showered. And then I walked over to Jodi and Bill’s. At their house I had a meal that we counted the fat for so it was perfect to eat with my Turalio. It was basically some meat in a burrito, not sure what though I’ve texted Jodi and Papa to ask. Papa also came by and we played four person Canasta with the new deck that Hannah had given me for my birthday. First time I broke it out. Bill had never played before so we kinda had to explain it to him. Then we played on teams with the partner being the person across the table from you, so I was with Bill. We totally lost by so much. At the end of the night I also had some of Bill’s decaf coffee with fudge. Papa drove me home, which was good because it might have been a bit cold to walk. Oh and I almost forgot to put this in here, but yesterday I also met one of my neighbors, a girl named Anniki, who said her name came from some Finnish grandmother she was named after. We talked about how our names are kind of similar. She was coming down to knock on my door right when I walked home from the gym. She said she wanted to say hi to her neighbors and apologize if she made too much noise in the future. Oh and the really interesting thing was that she told me that when it gets nicer out she’d like to do something social for some of the people who live around us. I told her that I’m definitely looking for things to do, though I didn’t tell her my whole story yet. I’m sure I will, just not right then. Anyways, that was a really cool part of my day too. I even told Jodi about it.
