Hi everyone! Took longer than expected at the doctor so we ended up picking up Captain Ds and got fish so I will have steak tomorrow.
I so wish the captain D’s by us was clean. It’s good food but it’s so rundown by us. Luckily we got a brand new long John’s (well moved locations and the old building got converted into a Jamaican place). Not the hugest fan of long John’s due to lack of grilled options? But they do got some killer hush puppies

Good evening everyone. Long day, I dont have time to catch all the way up. Is everyone good today? Amanda I hope your procedure was a breeze
It went well they removed a few polyps that they will send off for testing but the doctor send to think they are benign.
