  2. I tried twice yesterday to comment so I really should be the first one... anyway. Hen is the cutest and you ran all the miles and you also have way too much color coordinated compression stuff and I love that you are still alive.

    Did you soak your chia seeds? cause I thought they actually were tasty with lime juice and water after they got all inflated.
