June 9, 2023: Alright so today the first thing I did was I retrieved my laptop from the back of my car and I did yesterday’s photo. I also took my meds at 5:03am with a 10g-fat cup of avocado from Sam’s Club that Jodi had bought me. The other thing I did this morning was I discovered a new quiz game, called QuizzLand, that I play in Spanish. Honestly it’s good because it’s trivia and stuff to generally know, and most of it is very easy and the only thing that makes it challenging is that it’s not in my native language and there’s a bunch of Spanish words that I screenshot to keep a record of. Then I left to go to the gym for my yoga class. I left quite early, which was good because I hit a bunch of traffic, caused by a caravan of bicycles, and also forgot my swim suit the first time I left the house and had to run back in, so then I got to the gym pretty much exactly on time, at 8:50am. In my yoga class I had some good moments. I talked to the girl who I had been thinking in past weeks “maybe she speaks Spanish,” and I asked her if her name was Jennifer, which it was. Then she asked my name too and said it was good to get to know me. And then when I went to take my photo with the teacher, Jordan, we had someone photobombing us, whose name was Diana, who I’d never met before either. After yoga I went straight to my personal training with Will. I talked to Will a bit about relationship stuff, and had a good session. He thanked me for actually buying more training sessions the other day, even though I only did it because he explicitly reminded me like 5 minutes before on the day I bought them. Then I swam a little bit, but I didn’t shower because I’d done it the night before, and I just left and drove straight to Papa’s house, where I walked in and immediately told him I had a “serious reason for coming here.” It wasn’t food like he guessed, it was the fact that my front left tire was low on air. So he was able to pump it up again, like the paternal mechanic that he is. I actually did end up eating some food too, which was leftover salads and pizza and salmon. I noted that I last ate at 1:02pm. And then for the afternoon I pretty much just worked on Spanish and texted some friends about things to do tonight, and talked to Papa too. I also learned that tonight I can go over to my aunt Jodi’s neighbor’s house for the “Friday happy hour,” especially since she’s actually my neighbor too, living on 50th street like me. So I’m just getting half of this done before I go to that tonight. And then it was 4:03pm, the time when I decided to take my “night” meds. So what I did with my night meds was I had an Indian meal, the Chicken Tikka Masala for 14g fat, and I took a bit of it out so I could also have half a piece of bread with it. So now I’m gonna sit here and do a bit more Spanish til it’s time to go home and go to the “party” thing. Also just got my BeReal perfectly on time with Rosie at 5:23pm. I'm also making lists of the capitals that I missed in the JetPunk world capital quiz. Oh and I just remembered thinking about that, that this morning Bernie talked to me at the gym and asked me what the three Baltic countries were, and once he said Estonia, I knew the other two were Latvia and Lithuania. And then I knew all three of their capitals too. I love the fact that I have a guy at the gym who’s quizzing me on capitals and geography, which is honestly a big interest of mine. And then I went over to Papa’s house and organized some stuff in my life, and I wrote the first half of this and messaged some people in Spanish, and also messaged some people trying to figure out what to do tonight. Jodi actually came through for me there. She told me that her neighbor was having a “Friday happy hour,” and invited me to come since it’s my neighbor too technically. The neighbor’s name was Ali and then I drove home and I walked over to her house from my house, also on 50th. It was scheduled for 6pm and I got there at 6:06pm. Bill showed up around 6:30pm, and we all chilled together for a bit. I also got my photo for tonight, which was with Ali, George and Evelyn. Looking at the photo I’m realizing that I was wearing my name tag and “yo hablo español” pin from Open Door. I put that on because someone commented on the fact that we should have worn name tags, and I was like “watch me.” For drinks I had a Sociable Cider Werks Dry Apple Freewheeler and a can of summer shandy. I commented to Aly and co. that summer shandy was also one of the first things I ever got drunk on, which was with Liza and Ruth and Ignasi and them, though I didn’t say that. Oh and I also commented on not being able to drink grapefruit with some guy who was there, maybe George but I’m not sure, because apparently he’s on a medication that does that too. When I first got there I had a ginger ale, just because I was afraid it hadn’t been two hours since I took the meds, but then when I was writing my medication times in my notebook I realized that it had been. Then what I did after I hung out for a few hours, was Bill and I walked back to Jodi’s house, and Jodi came by very shortly. We tried to watch some more How I Met Your Mother, but Alex’s Hulu wasn’t letting me log in tragically, even though I’m 100% confident that the password and usernames were the same ones I used before. So instead we watched some Hoarders, on Roku, which I don’t have. Bill didn’t wanna watch it so he just stayed on the patio while Jodi and I watched an episode. We also ate a bunch of cheese with bread, which was left over from the party the other day at my dad’s house.
