In the morning, I couldn’t eat because I had a PET scan and I was “NPO,” which means nada per oral — no food or water before the scan. I had left for the PET scan from my room around 9:30 am and it lasted roughly until noon.

For lunch, I had 3 swedish meatballs and mashed potatoes, with a bread stick and vanilla ice cream. I also took my Turalio and Sirolimus then at 12:45 pm. I had a snack of a “magic cup” that was "berry flavored."

In the afternoon, I took a nap until about 3:30 pm. Then I worked on my photo diary for a bit, from 5 to 6 pm. 

For dinner, I had ice cream and a brownie and it matched my fat requirement perfectly.

In the evening, I watched a couple movies, including “Barbie” and then a nature show when I went to sleep.
