Pizza Lucé with Mom and Cleaning

March 18, 2023: Alright today I accomplished a lot. Well today the big news is that I got a lot of stuff done. Maybe I could try to write this out without notes like I did for the first draft yesterday, but I’ll look at my notes to figure out exactly what I did. Well I woke up at 6:56 and didn’t take my meds. Instead I brushed my teeth, which I hadn’t done last night, and took off my makeup, which I also hadn’t done yesterday. I also woke up to the sleep music that I had asked Alexa for last night. I had my meds at 8am, along with a low fat yogurt and two eggs. Had the yogurt before taking them and the eggs afterward. Around that time I also filled my med box, which was totally empty from last week. Then I hit the cleaning list this morning, which I also took a photo of to have a record of it. Then I drove over to mom’s house to pick her up, since her car battery was dead. I think she’ll get it replaced. What I accomplished with mom was I resigned my lease for 12 more months, with the thought that if a good condo comes up I’ll just make adjustments to it. We also ordered about 75$ worth of stuff I totally needed from Target, using the brain injury card. That knocked off a bunch of stuff from my Any.Do, like the buying new eyeliner, a new butterfly hair clip and cranberry juice. We also went over my spending and straightened and recycled stuff. We also got a new wall adapter to plug my extra watch charger into, since I only have the one adapter. I also uploaded all my notes pictures from yesterday to Adobe Scan. I also decided to text Alex that I wasn’t doing trivia with him tonight, since Liam wasn’t doing it and I had other stuff to do. He then told me that he’s actually just gonna take a nap after work and not do trivia either. I also uploaded my 2022 phone pictures onto Flickr, which I know I’d done in previous years but hadn’t done since the accident. I also texted Liam and asked him what exactly he meant when he told me yesterday that the goal shouldn’t be to forget the brain injury, and he told me, “It’s going to effect you so if you forget about it you are not able to deal with the effects of having had it happen. You need to figure out not how to forget about it but instead how to thrive in-spite of it happening.” Then I told him that the goal should be to be able to live my life without having to constantly think about how it limits me. So that was good advice. Liam is a good friend. Mom also told me that she wasn’t giving me my new coffee thermos or keypad cover because they’re a birthday present for tomorrow. Then mom and I went over to Papa’s house and she tried to clean the bad smell out of my car. I also had lunch with Papa, which was grilled cheese and a creamy chicken noodle soup. Then I drove mom over to her hair appointment, where I learned that the coffee isn’t self serve, and Tasha made me coffee. Didn’t finish, it, which was fine. I also really wished around that time that I hadn’t left my journal at home because I do feel like I haven’t been journaling enough, and that would have been a good time. I even texted Papa about that. Mom also told me when I was driving her back to her house when she didn’t tell me to change lanes or something that it was “maybe” like I could do all of this stuff by myself without any of their help. I mean whatever, I think I can. I know they disagree for now. What we did after that was we went back to her house and had the Dragon Pizza Luce pizza, which I had with root beer and some of the bruschetta we got. Ah well, didn’t even write on the last page I labeled, page 10. What I did when I got home was I finished putting everything away and took the books and groceries out of my car and rearranged the hats and jackets in my house. Tragically I can’t find my Mountain Dew hat I bought at the state fair with Hannah last year. That’ll be my big goal now. I loved that hat. Ah well I didn’t finish this yesterday. It’s the 19th now. The other notable thing I did yesterday was I called TEAM and actually talked to a counselor, told her about my history and stuff and tried to establish whether the appointment I have on the 23rd is with them. She said they’ll call me back on Monday. Ah well looking at my notes the only other thing I wrote for yesterday was that I told David from Fogo that I had a great time on my birthday. I also wrote, "It's a day of accomplishments."
