Twilight at mom’s, Sonder Shaker with mom


September 23, 2023:

Alright, I woke up and thought I’d be going to Methodist to volunteer today, but then I was annoyingly tired this morning and decided first thing that I’d rather sleep in a bit. It was fine, because when I had emailed Anne the other day and told her I might come in, she told me that they’d be fine without me, and that I’d only be on the schedule as a “floater.” So I “floated” off the schedule today. Anyways, then I didn’t take my meds til 8:30am, along with a situation. I started with a yogurt that I didn’t finish because it was only 6g of fat, not 10+. Then, I tried to eat the leftover half an avocado that was left in the fridge, but it was a bit old, so I gave up on it. At that point, Papa suggested that I just go for the milk solution. So I had a little over a glass of oat milk, and the brand said that 1 cup was 9g of fat. Anyways, then Deb and mom both came over, and Deb brought bagels for us all. She was coming to borrow our electric drill to drill holes in a license plate to mount it. Anyways, while Deb was here, we literally looked at the yearbook that I had designed in high school. Tragically, I couldn’t find a couple of the fun pages that I really thought existed in there. Ok, now I’m at the part that I’m writing the next day because I was just too tired to finish this last night. So we looked at the yearbook, and we also talked about other stuff from high school, including the immorality test. In a way, the way in which I was so high achieving in high school just means that I have a TON to live up to. A bit before we left, Papa also told me that I was becoming more self-aware recently, and that’s the reason that everything hurts a bit more now. Anyways, what we did then is mom and I went back to her house, and I read Twilight for a few hours. I’m like halfway through the book, which is longer than I remembered it being. I also took an extra BeReal with it. Then we played a few JetPunk games together, and decided it was time to go eat. For eating, we went out to a restaurant. We went out to Sonder Shaker, and shared a wagyu burger and a plate of brussel sprouts. I also got the Haku drink, and she got their rotating slushy. Then, for my meds, I noted that I finished eating at 4:59pm. Then, we went back to mom’s house and watched a movie together. It was one that I’d seen before the crash, The Martian, about a guy who’s left on Mars. From the movie, I kind of related to the guy, because the whole world was working together to get him back, but he was out there struggling. I felt like that was kinda similar to my situation. And then at 7:08pm, I had my nights meds with pita chips and hummus. Anyways, then mom drove me back to Papa’s house, where I started and didn’t finish this photo of the day. The last thing I did at night was I set an alarm for 7am and I checked my Mayo messages.


Grateful things: Damn it I didn’t do this yesterday. I’m sure I was kinda grateful for the good food though.
