Day 243:

Went out for lunch with Talia this afternoon. I trust Talia’s advice more than most people because she’s always brutally honest with me about what she thinks. So even if I don’t agree with her, I know what she’s telling me isn’t some sugar-coated BS, you know? We went back to my house just in time to watch Ayala perform in prelims for Grand Nationals on the live feed from Indiana. My mom bought it this year, so we just had different people come over to watch the band and support from California. Lots of pumpkin treats were included, so I was happy. Plus, Ayala made semi-finals. So we were all really excited for them.
