Sunday, it was New Year’s Eve but I went to bed at like 9pm and Cathy stayed up working. I awoke at 2am to find her gone but I deduced that she was picking up Dylan & his friends who were too drunk to safely drive.
Monday, drove out to the new house with Cathy & Summer. Cathy wanted to take her to The Local Peasant for lunch but it was closed for New Years Day so we tried Bobby’s Coffee Shop instead. They left me to finish setting up the Ring security equipment. I also went to Home Depot to pick up more sand and sandbags to better secure the tarps on the roof for the impending rain on Wednesday. Also went to Ralphs to stock the drinks fridge with beverages. When I got home, finally tested negative for Covid.
Tuesday, went to my first therapy appointment with Rick at my new time of 8am. Got passport photos and went to AAA to get an Inter-American Driving Permit. Then went in to Empire but it was a ghost town, so I ate lunch alone and went home to make calls about house stuff. I walked to Brick & Flour to pick up dinner for myself. Cathy came over after work and had her group meeting in my office.
Friday, spent the day at Woodland Hills. Briefly chatted with Ben (who I had accidentally blown off two weeks ago.) Drove down to Cathy’s and went to a session with Thuy. We had Sugarfish delivered for dinner. Later that evening, I went to her immersive weekend with her with Thuy, Michael, Max, Jamie, Peter, Mark, Mindy, 24kGoldn, and a first time attendee, an annoying screenwriter named Will. Very emotionally draining.
Saturday, Mark picked up Dylan to take him to LAX. Cathy & I were intimate for the first time since before Christmas. We went to Chipotle for lunch and then went to the full day of the immersive weekend. The day ended with Peter’s daughter Caitlin and Cathy’s daughter Summer.
