Hang out with Jimmy

Today I hung out with my friend Jimmy. We had a lot of fun, walking around a mall and then sitting in a coffee shop for a couple hours catching up on things. He's doing good... he's working security at the Staple's Center and Dodger Stadium. It's jobs he's had for a while, so it's good that he's secure. I met him in the cult when I was in high school, so I've known him for over 10 years. It's crazy that I've known him for so long, but it's true. He's not dating anyone right now.. that's the main thing he talks about. I used to give him relationship advice when he was dating this girl, and he said it was really helpful. He also said that he was going to be able to have a talk with his dad based on the advice I gave him. It's where you use the “I feel ___” instead of attacking the person. He used that tactic on his ex girlfriend and it worked for him. His dad left him when he was young, leaving his mom alone to take care of him and his sister, so he has a lot of anger at his dad. He talks about his dad sometimes, and he's not too bitter about it, he just wants to be a better man than his father. I know he is. I should tell him that sometime.
Other than that, today I went to a Chinese buffet with my stepdad. It was nice... It's like the buffets in Miami, so it wasn't really anything new. They did have some good salmon there, which was nice to get in my Omega-3's. My doctor said I need to eat more of the good fats to raise my good cholesterol, so the salmon did the trick for today. I don't get as much of it as I should... I eat the not so good fats, like chicken thighs. It's good to have some fat, but it's not the good fat that I need. I should be eating more fish, so I made sure to get a nice big piece in today. My stepdad also has the fish oil pills that I'm going to be taking while I'm here to try and get my good cholesterol up. I don't have a doctor's appointment anytime soon, but it's good anyway. I need to work on building up good habits. Once the habit is established, it's easier to keep up.
I had this crazy dream last night that I was a contract killer and I had to kill Geo's grandfather. They are still alive as far as I know, just in Puerto Rico or New York. I think watching Alcatraz last night started the crazy dreams going. It was a good show... it's about these prisoners coming back after mysteriously disappearing from the island in the 60's. I like it, and if Geo likes it we will watch it at home. I would like to watch it with him. It's hard for me to keep up with shows he doesn't like, since we don't watch them together and I don't watch TV other than with him when we eat dinner. I don't like watching TV on the computer, but I guess I can watch it in the room. It's just that I have my routine at home so set that I don't like anything disturbing it, even if it is to watch a show that I want to see. I have to see what time the show is going to be at. If it's at 8pm, I can watch it, but 9pm is too late since that's the time when I talk to my friend Andrea. I talk to her for a while and then go to sleep.
I like talking on the phone before I go to sleep. It's my way of winding myself down to get to sleep. I fall asleep easier when I talk on the phone before I go to sleep. I know my routine is going to be changing, and I don't like that. Andrea is moving, and she's not going to have a landline anymore. She's only going to have the computer to talk on the phone through Google Voice, so I'm going to have to be on the computer to tell her to call me. She's not going to be available to talk to me every night anymore, and I don't like that. I have to deal with it though... she has her own life and she can't be bending to my every crazy whim. She's done a lot as it is, talking to me every night for over a year. And I mean literally every night. Well, maybe 28-29 nights a month, so that's a lot. I don't talk to her when she goes on vacation, and I miss her when I can't talk to her. I'm going to miss her a lot when she moves. She knows it, but she has her own life to deal with.
Food today was bad... I was over my calories again. I had the Chinese buffet which killed me, as well as a chocolate shake from In-N-Out. The shake was good and I felt it was totally worth it. I had a light dinner, just salad. I had chorizo and eggs for breakfast, which was so good. I wasn't too fond of the Chinese buffet for the calories I ate. I think I would rather go to In-N-Out instead. Mood today was great.. I had a great time with Jimmy. My sleep was good, even with the weird dreams and stress today was low.
