Oh hai ~

One month into DIY already, and I'm feeling pretty good, yay! Hopefully I can get a prescription soon. It's hard to measure the effects objectively, but I now get what people mean when they say not to carry stuff against your chest. Ouch. Don't know if it's the hormones or losing weight, but my reflection looks... different, somehow? Maybe I'm imagining it.

Plus I met up with a group of girl friends I haven't seen since before my egg crack, and they were very quick to welcome me to the E team :3
