It is #WorldVeganDay!

I am in the best shape of my life on a mostly* vegan diet.

* Husband occasionally uses butter and eggs. I will eat fish when Michelin star restaurant chefs lack the creativity to serve me.

Enjoyed an amazing dinner at a fancy restaurant for my anniversary and can now commence a week long worryfest about COVID-19.
