I had an overall great time!

  1. Read a bit of one of my side gig reviews
  2. Had a massage
  3. Went hot-tubbing
  4. Tried a steam room
  5. Stayed up late
  6. Bought a new little alligator figurine
  7. Acquired a gift for the friend who watched Hoban
  8. Nearly lost at Hues and Cues (but still had fun)
  9. Learned people's favorite cryptids
  10. Purchased a Nessie pin
  11. Ate tasty food
  12. Shopped at the local farmer's market
  13. Got decked out in Galena gear
  14. Had some drinks
  15. Took a trip to the ER for a severe allergic reaction. I'm okay now, but wanted to share. And yes, now I have an EpiPen.

I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself.
