Well, the conference really got started today. We saw several people we know coming in, and the big kick off meet and greet was
tonight. It made the entire day pretty
festive. And, I got carried away and
didn’t get much exercise in. But, we did
do a fair amount of walking, so I am not going to stress over it too much. I’ve been looking forward to this conference
for such a long time, I really want to enjoy it.
It is so good to see familiar faces – both from trusted
vendors and other parents. It is always fun
to catch up and find out how people’s children are doing, and find out what’s
new in the biomedical world. It’s only
the first day and I already feel like I have learned several new things. That is what I really love about these
conferences – getting together with others who live the same reality every
day. Who really get our struggles and
our achievements.
The challenge of the day was to stick with the exercise, and
I failed. At least in the formal exercise. But, I did get a lot of walking, and standing
in, so I am really not overly worried. I
guess when I get home and get on the scale I will know for sure. For now, I am just going to do the best I
can.
The surprise of the day was when the chef at the restaurant
said that yes he could make me gluten free calamari. I haven’t been able to have it since I went
gluten free, and I really expected him to say that he couldn’t make it. But, he did, and it was fabulous. It’s amazing how small things can really make
your day.
