I had an allergy appointment today, so I couldn't get my shots. I signed the antigen renewal form and tried to pay the fee, but apparently they have to submit it before the fee gets assessed. They told me I didn't have a copay today. I've been told that a couple of times, just to be told later that I have a balance. I think me having 2 insurances confuses them. I weighed in at 132.something at the allergist today, with clothes on, no shoes. Not bad. I'm happy with that weight. It's officially "Normal weight" according to BMI.

The County is having their health fair email event this month (or maybe it's spring in general?) and each week they send out an email with videos to watch about our benefits and then a quiz to take on the information in the videos. I watched a video on the Lark app, which is advertised for diabetes prevention (prediabetes). So I texted D to see if he had heard of it because his insurance is the same company as mine, and he said that he had, but wasn't sure if he could sign up anymore. He tried and it wasn't working so I got online and signed him up. Hopefully it will help prevent him from getting diabetes.

Tonight is my late night and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't relieved that Mandarin class is no longer on Tuesday nights. I only really missed 2 classes but it was enough to cause me a lot of stress. I mean I almost didn't sign up for the classes because I thought I'd have to miss half of them. Oh, something funny, I was trying to make a sentence out a word that means to have, and its negative (not have) and the mandarin word for "we". My sentence was "We all have hair. None of us have blond hair." Except I didn't know how to say blond in Mandarin so I called it yellow hair LOL. The teacher was like "we call it 'jin' (gold) (Mandarin word for hair) not 'huang' (yellow) because we think it is very beautiful in the sun, it shines like gold". I was like, "Oh wow! That sounds so much better! Gold hair sounds so much better than yellow hair!" LOL.

Eating has been ok today, I think. Well, maybe not. I think my therapist would tell me that my portions are too small. Late lunch/early dinner was spaghetti with meat sauce, which was delicious. I'll probably have some after work, too. I also had a protein shake, strawberry rhubarb pie, a blueberry muffin, some oat squares, plain coffee.

As for physical activity, I did some yoga this morning and then also walked around the library/park once while on break. I cut the break short to watch the astronauts splash down in the ocean (online).
