## Resource

Authentication continues, can’t I just get this done here? Paying $300 for a certified photocopy?! Why DID my TikTok video get so many views? Apparently there was some sort of trending song with “Taiwan museum”… no idea. Most of the views were only a second or two long. Re-assessing how often I’ll post, and thinking it might be time to scale back. We got the watch! Discount and all! But we had to do an unboxing right away because they needed PROOF! How is it so far? Workout in! Chest day followed by 7km run in 48.21! And we’re getting a new TV! Donate to the show!
