Steph at Open Door and Papa playing Canasta x2


March 7, 2023: Alright lemme start. Well to start with my notes, this morning I learned that Apartment 202 is a 2 bedroom because I talked to the girl who lives there and I told her mine was a one bedroom. Kinda curious how many people live there and what that’s like. God I really wanna have roommates. For breakfast I had half a blueberry bagel with cream cheese before the meds and half afterward. I decided to put on my grumpy’s shirt that Hannah gave me and the perfume I’d found in the back of my yellow car. I brought the Ritalin too. For some reason I thought today was Wednesday in the morning and accidentally kinda tried to plan my day around going to barre class, it wasn’t Wednesday though so I didn’t. Then I went into Open Door to do Spanish translation. I said hi to Lynn at 10:05, so I consider that clocking in. Also used my Lunds lock at Open Door. I translated pretty much first thing when I walked in, including a lot for a woman named Ana who was a new client, and also two other groups. I also had a donut a bit before 11:30 and had my Ritalin at 12pm. Then I took Tylenol outta boxes with Steph for like half an hour. That was almost more fun than the translating, though I did run back to translate a bit during that time. I talked to Steph a lot, told her about the accident and how the guy only got 42 days in jail, and that this photo project helps a lot with my memory. I wanna remember to tell Whitney that if she ever has another client with a TBI she absolutely has to have them do this project. I also told Steph that the reason I loved Fogo so much was because it was what came right after I got the cancer treatment that worked, so I was living the life I hadn’t been able to live during cancer, and also that treatment also turns my hair white. Funny enough I missed screenshotting 3k when I was talking to Steph, which was a fair trade. Back to the translating, I also did a bunch more translation for Ron and Lynn, and grabbed a new name tag because the writing was messed up on mine. Then I went home and sorted through all my photos of the day, marking the ones I’d sent and changing the titles of a bunch of them because they were messed up. I also texted Papa that I made a plan with Hannah to see her on the 20th for my birthday. Then I went to the gym. I also did text Eleanor today when I was in Highland for the gym but she wasn’t able to do anything, said her schedule was super busy today. Then I walked into the gym, getting 3001, and then walked back out again because I had forgot my headphones and realized I had to get gas and food. So what I did is I stopped at Holiday to get gas and then Burger King to get a bacon king meal with Dr. Pepper. Hannah, the receptionist at JCC, told me I didn’t have to scan in again when I came back but I did anyways. We also talked about the JCC having arnie palmer on Mondays again. When I came back I told Hannah the receptionist that I got food and gas and she said she was happy for me. Then after the gym I went over to Papa’s and we ordered an Alfredo pizza from Fat Lorenzo’s. Papa also beat me at Canasta today. He said that I could write that I “allowed him to win for a change.” When I got home I also showered and that got me to 10k, even though that’s not really my goal anymore. It’s still nice though. I’m at 10,038 now. Got 10k just brushing my hair. No idea how that counted as steps, I mean I guess my arm was moving. Then I had my nighttime Turalio with vanilla honey Chobani at 9pm, which is good because I last ate other food at 6:10pm.
