Cooked yesterday on grill by a friend, internal temperature was never checked. Sat on counter for 30-40 minutes before going in fridge.

I packed for my lunch today and reheated in microwave.

It wasn’t until I had already eaten most of it that I looked down and noticed how pink it was… convinced myself it was fine and kept eating.

Showed these photos to coworkers who said I should not have eaten.

What to expect? Likelihood this doesn’t end well for my stomach or toilet? Hahaha

I love this weekend and have the busiest work week ever.

Anything I can do now?

Third date is a concert 3 hours away so naturally my brain has convinced me I need to pack like I’m leaving the country.

We’ll be gone 12 hours total. Concert starts when it’s 85° and ends when it’s 58° with a 3 hour drive home after. He’s picking me up at 2.

Venue only allows a small clear bag, so I was planning on one clear stadium bag (thank Hod I don’t have my period, just luteal phase) and one car bag.

Clear bag currently includes: portable fan, dry mouth tablets (shoutout Vyvanse), mints, floss, deodorant, lip gloss, extra contacts, portable charger, hair clip, translucent powder, EpiPen, inhaler, Benadryl, sunglasses, ID/card, hand sanitizer, and anti-chafe gel.

Car bag currently includes: snacks for both of us, tennis ball for my L5/S1 back injury because sitting hurts, glasses for the drive home, fuzzy jacket, sweats to maybe change into, water bottles, makeup touch-up stuff, resistance bands (might want to do an arm workout?? lol), and a rosary because we’ll probably pray on the drive at some point lol.

The thing is… I KNOW I probably won’t use most of this. But my brain is always like “what if you need it?” and suddenly I’m traveling with my entire apartment.

How do you ladies consolidate without feeling unprepared? Is this too much for a third date? Trying to figure out what’s actually practical vs my brain trying to prepare for every possible scenario.
