Not boring... gym w/ Bernie, yoga and Hannah/Caroline

March 16, 2024

I don’t even know if I have space to talk about all the things I did today. It started with a very exciting trip to the gym. I went to my yoga class, which was taught by Elizabeth, who’s going to be subbing for Jordan for the next few months. Her news was that Jordan was going to be induced today. Right after the class, I went to work out with Bernie, and today his wife was there too. His wife is named Cathy with a C, and I thought I wrote some stuff down about our workout, but I can’t seem to find those notes in any of my notebooks. 

I made a comment at one point that I was a little bit surprised to be a touch hungry, and then they decided to take me out to a restaurant for lunch. It was Brasa, which I’ve seen many times before but had never entered. In terms of what we ordered, I ordered the fried fish bowl. The best part of it was that it included some mac n’ cheese in the bowl. They both got the Smothered chicken bowl, and I ate a few of the tortilla chips that were included out of Bernie’s bowl. For drinks, I ordered the Mandarin Orange Jarritos, which was good and very bubbly. 

Anyways, then I went and chilled for a few hours, including sitting in Quixotic trying to read a self-help book about chakras, before it was time for me to meet up with Caroline and Hannah to celebrate my birthday. The other day we’d decided to meet up at Hannah’s house. We talked a bit about which specialties Hannah and I would fit best with if we went to medical school and became doctors. Caroline thought I’d be a good fit for surgery, and Hannah might be family medicine or OBGYN. I think Caroline is pursuing something in internal medicine, and she’s 100% the only one of us who is ever going to become a doctor. 

We also ordered a pizza to share. It was the Ruby Rae pizza, and it had Italian sausage and bruschetta tomatoes, which I had never heard of before. To take our photo I used the app RAW, which claims to be a dating app but is not at all given that it shows you people from all over the country. I only keep the app because it lets you take those front and back facing photos, like BeReals do. But it doesn’t limit the amount of them you a day, like BeReal. Today, I used my extra BeReals while I was sitting in Quixotic and reading through some of my old notes notebooks. I was trying to find the general date that something medical had happened, and reading my notebooks is the best window into my life that I have. Today I was looking at #15, #16 and #17. I also don’t believe I ever wrote a #18, even though I’m on one labeled #19 right now.
