Fun Day!
Today I finally got to meet my friend Jon after knowing him for 6 years. It was really awesome. He brought his son, and the 4 of us (Jon, his son, Geo and I) got along great! His son is 20, and is into the same kind of book and stuff Geo and I are into. We got into a geeky discussion of Stephen King books and all that sort of stuff. We then went out for a Cuban brunch- we had chicharones (fried pork skin and meat), Cuban ribs, and tostones (smashed plantains- kinda like a non-sweet banana). It wasn't the lowest-calorie meal ever (in fact, it's probably worse than a Big Mac combo) but it's local food that they can't get in Indiana. I introduced them to Cuban coffee (which is stronger than French espresso) and they really liked it.
Tomorrow is beach day! Another early day. I'm going to try and go to sleep early again tonight.. it worked last night. I went to sleep around 11pm, woke up at 4am and facepalmed, but managed to get back to sleep until 9am. I also took a 2 hour nap after we had brunch and went to get the stuff for the BBQ tomorrow. I'm still pretty tired, so I'm going to probably fall asleep by 10:30 when I take my pills. I feel pretty good... my body is still saying hypomanic, but my energy isn't too high where I have to worry. I know I'm going to crash come Monday, but hopefully I can recover by Friday when I have my doctor's appointment.
Food: Brunch I talked about above, then had a bit of leftover fried rice from last night and regular dinner. I drank about 60 ounces of water so far today, and probably will get to 75 by bedtime. I also gave in and had a soda today. After Monday, when Jon leaves, I will try and go back to my regular diet and establish a good sleep schedule. Goodnight for now!
