Planned Parenthood (assuming they aren't blocked) can usually schedule you in a few days and if you are already on HRT they'll just write you a script. Folx can probably ship to you also.

I'm sure he'll be personally leading the manhunt by checking out every UFC Vegas event for clues.

For the love of all that is holy, find a good taproom or try some stuff from microbreweries. The US is in a brewing renaissance, there is a lot of decent-to-ok stuff to wade through but a TON of good American beers out there now.

I think of nothing else it's important to go out and just see how MANY of us there are. It is a good reminder that none of us are going through this alone.
