Another awesome day...
It did start out pretty rough as I let Brandi shoot a laser at my face. This was my second go-round, and it was incredibly painful this time. I think I did two things wrong. First, I forgot Kendra's advice to hydrate hydrate hydrate. Second, I have 1:10 drive to the clinic, I got started with the numbing cream too early, and we started the session about 15 minutes late. That put the time from applying the cream until the first zap about about 1:45. Even though it felt numb, it must have been too long. Next time I think I'll drive there a half hour early and put the cream on there.
After the session, though, things turned around. After letting the shakes subside and wiping my eyes, I went to lunch at Chili's. I was treated well and ma'amed the whole time. From there I went to the mall and conducted more research. First was to see if I attracted any attention. Absolutely no drama there. Second was to observe and learn. I sat in the middle of the mall and watched the women and how they comport themselves. Not sure if I learned anything new, but I ended up feeling great about how things were going. I did some more walking around and had some fun with the storefront signs:

And I found this thought bubble in the front of a store called "Garage," which apparently sells teenage girl clothes. I don't know why they had a fake bed and this sign in the front, but I was feeling so good I thought it was appropriate.
After the mall I went to Target and did some shopping, using the ladies dressing rooms to try on a few things, and even talking with the lady outside to see if they had something I was looking for. Again, no drama.
I believe I've gone full-time, and it's a wonderful feeling!
