I hadn’t been to that pharmacy since like 2012 or 2013 when I was deeply psychotic. Man she was super nice she was like “How are you doing!?!?!? Jon!?!?” And I can tell she totally remembered me and noticed huge changes in me. Maybe she feels more rewarded when she sees people like me doing well that she helped out?? But the only thing is I was super embarrassed and shy because of the shame of the last time I saw her I was deeply psychotic. Even though I think she was understanding.

I had to drive up to my college today to meet with a counselor for help in my current class. The meeting went OK and afterwards I was strolling back to my car but I was thirsty. So I asked a couple of other students where the nearest coke machine is. They couldn’t help me (but they were polite and nice about it) but I was passing a women and I started to ask and I thought, “Wow she looks really familiar.”
I looked closer at her and I realized that she was a woman teacher who I had asked for help finding the disabled student service office. That was 6 months ago but a year ago I had stopped this exact lady to ask her where a class was or the bookstore or something. This time she started to talk but I said, “Wow, I’ve seen you before”. I realized she sees a million people a day at the college and I assumed she wouldn’t recognize me. But she was just looking at me so I said, "Hey, I’ve seen you before."She kept looking and I said, “You don’t recognize me.”
She smiled a little and said, "Yeah, I remember you. So we both kind of relaxed and engaged in some friendly small talk. She told me how to get to a soda machine but it sounded too far and I told her I didn’t mean to waste her time but I was not going to walk that far. She smiled and said I wasn’t wasting her time.
Anyways, it was kind of cool coincidence to run into her three times, 6 months apart when there’s hundreds of students attending college there. And the thing is that the three times I ran into her were the only times I had been on campus this past year. As I turned and walked away I smiled and said, “I’ll see you in 6 months!” We both laughed and the sun was out and warm, the birds were chirping, and it was a clear blue sky. Nick strikes again.

I ran into an old pole. Like a rusty, metal pole. I’m okay, was dizzy for a while.
