Forgot the Kentucky Derby?

Well, I totally forgot about the Kentucky Derby today. I don't know why. I made the whole morning about going to Hanover's for breakfast, enjoyed it completely with a friend and then I completely forgot about the Derby until another friend asked me if I was watching it while I was on my way home from the gym, exactly when the race was ending. I can't believe I did that. However, I am glad that I have two friends and I can celebrate that. I watched the replay but I'm still sorry I missed watching the buildup to the race like I typically do on Derby Day. I want to watch The Black Stallion tonight. I wanted to watch it last night but somehow got onto a long talk with Anne Lamott and couldn't turn that off. I love Anne Lamott, dreadlocks and all. She's just refreshing and I get in touch with my writer soul listening to her. Usually, I don't get in touch with my writer soul at all. I feel like I will know what they are going to say. Keep writing, don't give up, it's the process, you've got this, writers write, remember what Lamott said about your "inner critic." But here's the thing. She is always talking about fiction writing but she doesn't seem to be writing fiction anymore. I just love to hear her talk about writing, but I don't think I'm ever going to write fiction again. It just isn't happening. She also spoke about writing everything down. I do that. Not as much as I used to, but I still do that. After a certain number of notebooks and composition books full of random writing, it seems a bit pointless, honestly. I suppose it could have something to do with changing your routine, getting out of the box, expanding your borders, yeah, whatever. I didn't go to God's Storehouse. The only other thing I like to routinely accomplish on Saturdays. I got to see a friend of mine at the restaurant who is a substitute waitress. She is also a substitute para, I think. That's how I know her. I actually got up early on a Saturday morning to go see her, went there and invited my one friend to go with me to see her. We didn't get to sit on the side of the restaurant where she was working but I told a couple of people I wanted to see her. She came out and hugged me, so that was cool. So, there are a few friends that I have, and you know who you are. I have just talked about three friends, the one I went to see at the restaurant, the one who went with me to see her and the friend who texted me to ask if I was watching the Kentucky Derby. So, I will say that to have three friends to talk about all in one day is a blessing, so I will not feel sorry for myself. I also think I have found out how to get rid of Reddit and Quora when making Google searches. You put a minus sign in front of them when you write your search topic. I will hopefully never have to see Reddit and Quora again as long as I remember to do that. So, in conclusion, I joined a friend for breakfast and went to the gym today. Did not go to God's Storehouse which I usually do, but that's okay. I have interacted with three friends today and that is a blessing. So now I am going to try to watch The Black Stallion. This is how I might connect with my inner child. Goodnight.
