Victoria at Open Door and Liam at the Capital


Feb. 21, 2023: Well today was alright. In the morning I drove to Open Door to volunteer as a Spanish translator. I was able to translate twice. This morning Papa asked me if I’d eaten and I said no because I took my meds at 7:36 so I ate at 8:36. I had blueberry Special K that I had bought with Talia the other day. The woman or man from the JCC named Jordan also responded to my email about yoga classes. I’ll look for one that fits with my schedule to go to later. I told her that I went to the St. Paul JCC not the Minneapolis one. At Open Door, Wendy tried to give me more access on my Link2feed account to access notes and make to go order appointments. One of the guys who needed translation was Ignacio and he needed a to go order, which my account didn’t have access to at first. So I used a lady named Vicki’s account. The other lady I checked in in Spanish was Claudia. I also made a new appointment for her in Spanish. I took my selfie with Victoria today just because she was helping me schedule, and she also changed my time for tomorrow. It’s at 9 now not 8:30. I also wrote down my username and password for Link2feed. Username is just anya@tod.org. That’s not a real email I can check I don’t think. When I was making a new appointment for Claudia someone else left the page I was on and I remembered her time and name and I was pretty impressed with that, especially because it involves memory. I also talked to Hannah a bit this morning. She said she’s afraid her book club will be cancelled because of the snow. I asked about book club and she said it was just for her rugby team. When I was leaving I also made a bagel with nutella on it. I guess I will be able to feed myself without Fogo. Going to the gym now. Alright so I went to the gym. It was interesting. I did most of the workout from Will then I tried to join a yoga class, taught by Bob. But they weren’t really doing yoga, just sitting in chairs and waving their arms. I didn’t swim at the gym at all, just workout and attempted the yoga class. I was also texting Liam then and we decided to go to the state capital to see something about a bill being passed. It was a bill about giving felons the right to drive or vote again. The photo I took is holding the sign we got for a different bill. We also got shirts. The other cool thing is that Liam gave me a bunch of new songs to put on my Reboot 1.0 2023 playlist. I had asked Lily the other day, but Liam said she really only listens to musicals so she didn’t have any ideas. I did manage to add a bunch more today, and now the playlist has 39 songs. Today Liam was going to a jazz concert with his dad after the capital thing. He drove me over to where his dad was so he could meet him there, then I drove myself home. Texted Papa I was home too. Tonight I also grabbed a whopper jr from Burger king and a side of mozzarella sticks with martinara sauce. I guess I failed at not eating out, which Mattheas told me to avoid as much as I could. I only did it because I was a bit hungry at the Holiday gas station on Hiawatha. Pretty much the ony success of my day is going the whole day without seeing either parent. Now I’m watching How I Met Your Mother on Alex’s Hulu. I’m ending at 8,003 tonight just because we walked around the capital a bit and I went to the gym. If I were still trying to get 10k a day I’m sure I could do it but I don’t really want to.
