P.S. I’m sorry if I yapped your ear off about my herniated disc or locked eyes with you but never said hi! I’m not a social person at all, and when I’m nervous I tend to ramble and can be a little bit shy sometimes. Plus, the medication I’m on for my pain makes me extremely nauseous and that event was the first time I’ve been on my feet for a long period of time, let alone out and about. It didn’t help that I was wearing heels. Wow, whose dumb idea was that!?

Ok now that that’s all out of the way... I did have a great time!
