Yoga with Debi, green eyeshadow, game night with Kathy

Ok, let’s just do a brief run through the photos, which I did a great job of today. It starts off with a picture of me with Debi at yoga class. Today she was subbing for Jordan, and she could attend the 9am session (unlike usually for her) because her husband was off work (maybe for something to do with MEA). It randomly felt a tiny bit easier than Jordan’s classes usually are, but maybe I was just trying harder than usual to actually complete most of the moves. 

For the next photo, I have a selfie I took of my makeup today. I decided yesterday that it would be a “green day,” and that meant that I spent the day wearing my neon green lettings, a light blue/green long sleeved shirt, and a green claw clip in my hair, as well has having some green on my socks. And that’s all in addition to applying my bright green eyeshadow, which I wore with some eyeliner today. Unfortunately, I forgot my phone in my car when I went into my yoga class, so I was unable to take a selfie with Debi on my phone like I usually do. What I did was I asked Debi to take a selfie for us, and then she sent it to me. So.... now I have her phone number, which I’ll obviously use it to harass her. Before class today, Debi also literally said that Jordan’s class is usually harder than hers, so “I’ll make it harder” today. It also occurred to me in the morning during my yoga that the brain injury injury REALLY DID give me something “to recover from” in a good way, because now I have things to work on with regard to my body at the gym. I don’t think that I’d have a real reason to work on getting fitter and developing my body into something that’s “in decent shape” if I hadn’t been run over by the car at 35-40 mph, having my legs massively objectively damaged as well. I’m kind of proud of the obvious scars that are on my left knee, and they’re something that I generally pull my leggings up to show people when I’m first talking about my injuries.

In fact, I did that to Twink today at the gym while I was working out with Bernie post-yoga. We talked to a woman named Twink, which I know I spelled right because I asked her to look at the way I wrote it in my notebook. Basically, I gave her the one sentence run down of my injuries, and Bernie told her a lot about how much progress I’ve made in the gym just in the months I’ve been working out with him.

Ok, now I wrote all of this yesterday, on the 5th, but I just didn’t finish it. Yesterday I had been really scared it would be a boring day with nothing to do because I didn’t have anything planned except the gym with Bernie after yoga. But in the morning,  my mom’s friend Kathy Shipp texted me and she asked me to go “play cards at Golden Valley Davanni’s tonight?” So, we did that at 6pm. I managed to take my meds before I went too, at 3:30pm with three pieces of the tempura shrimp that I cooked in the oven for 11g of fat. THEN, we went out to Davanni’s to play games. Most of the people there were quite a bit older, but it was still decently fun. The cool thing is that Kathy tried to teach me a new game that I’d never played before, called Mexican Train, which is a dominoes game. A lady there had a set for the game, and we adopted it to play two or three games. I’ve gotta say that a big thing I’ve been thinking recently is that I only ever feel happy when playing games, which leads me to do the stupid activity of playing phone games, which is a solitary and kind of sad activity. However, going to a game night with Kathy was just kind of wonderful. And the photo I have of that is from when my BeReal randomly went off at 7:02pm, and I got it on time with the table of domino’s players. It just feels like BeReal is a kind of important contribution to my life as well, especially since I’m working on this project.
