Yoga with Jordan, Pizza with Mom, and Gas

May 19, 2023: Meds at 6am with three cheese and Ritz crackers for about 10g fat. Then I finished editing the play pictures from Theatre in the Round, the play called Wit, and I sent them to Larisa. Honestly the only reason I did it is because Larisa had emailed me asking for a few teaser shots, so then I just went ahead and finished all of them. Then I emailed them first to Papa and then to Larisa. She thanked me for them already. Then I went to the gym for the yoga class that I’d seen two weeks ago and decided I wanted go to right then. At the gym I also parked right next to another green car, just because they looked nice next to each other. Oh well, kinda wish I took a pic. Then I went to the yoga class I’d seen two weeks ago, and it was amazing. It was taught by a woman named Jordan who I hadn’t spoken to before. I even told her how two weeks ago before my Florida trip I saw the yoga class and literally did an exercise outside of the room because I love doing yoga. I also realized during the class that my “hobby” now is kind of the gym. Talking to Jordan I also told her about the reason I like to take photos, kind of as like a “photo diary” because the brain injury affects my memory. I also didn’t realize til I was in the class that the yoga class was also a barre yoga class, just like the one I do with Debbie. Taking the photo I also succeeded in having us stand in front of the windows so it has good light, and also made sure my green leggings got in the pic. Then right after that I did a personal training session with Will. I told Will that the Florida trip was absolutely amazing and convinced me that I could be happy again, and I also told him that I’ll meet some Fogo people on Sunday, and also mentioned my amazing white fanny pack that I got in Florida, that has a million pockets, which I showed him. I also told him a bit about connecting with a new person on Tinder, Sam, who made me glad I downloaded it again. Also told him that my friend Hannah who said she didn’t use Tinder, like Will, actually did download it in Florida and said it was fun to chat with a few girls. While I was at the gym I also briefly spoke to that older guy whose name I think is Berry and he quizzed me on the capital of Croatia again. Will looked it up and found it it was Zagreb, which is the one I’d memorized, but Berry said he was thinking of the other one, Dubrovnik, and that he’ll expect me to know both of those capitals of Croatia next time. I’ll work on the capitals a bit more too. It’s a good thing to have memorized, especially since I’m working on my memory. Then I drove over to mom’s house, and I kind of messed up there. I forgot that she was staying at my dad’s house to take care of the dog, so I drove to her Northeast hose and wasted $5 parking in the lot. When I actually did get to my dad’s house to see my mom, I told her that I’d forgotten my swimsuit, so didn’t swim at the gym, but it was fine because I was quite hungry. When I got there she’d already ordered a pizza, which was the one I chose and liked last name, the Fire Breathing Dragon. Then what we did before the pizza was delivered was we successfully filled out the travel and medical form, and then I also emailed Love Your Brain the details of my flight, so I’ll be officially accepted. Cool as hell that it starts on the accident anniversary. Then the pizza was delivered and we ate it, with me noting that I had the last bite of food at 1pm. Then after we ate, mom had a work call and I went ahead and checked my email, which included the upcoming Tuesdays’ schedule for the Minneahaha Food Bank. I also emailed them (Anne) to offer to volunteer this Saturday morning from 7:30-10am. And then I set up a date with Sam for Saturday around 12pm at Dominguez Family Restaurant, after the food shelf shift. He told me it was good it was in my neighborhood. I also took Rosie for a walk with mom and did a little gardening with mom too, clipping some plants. She said she does miss the garden. I also randomly talked to her about whether I’d ever be able to travel alone, live in a house or have kids. She said that I kept coming back to her with more questions every time I disappeared into Papa’s office. Then I stayed at Papa’s house long enough to eat my dinner for my meds too. I did it at 6pm, exactly 12 hours after the morning ones, and I ate it with some Fiery Chicken Curry from Trader Joe’s. Mom and I also decided to go to Trader Joe’s on Sunday to buy some more stuff like that and also some stuff that Hannah recommended that I get, and use the gift card that Kenzie gave me. Excited for tomorrow, not gonna lie. I’ll finally meet Sam, and then later I’ll have dinner with Caroline.
