• Got a blog post done in only half an hour (very fast for me).
• I'm grateful for the antibiotics I'm taking, which are working, and for medicine in general.
• Worked out to the beginning of The Company Men, which made me feel grateful for the family I have.
• Met up with Jack on his lunch at Starbucks near his work.
• Even though it's too early, I love the Starbucks holiday decorations.
• And an employee came around and gave Jack and me about 6 samples of the holiday treats!
• Helped Jack study for his anatomy exam, and felt proud of how hard he works.
• Laughed out loud by myself in my car on the way to school because I was listening to hilarious music.
• Got to visit with the program director and other students for awhile before class. My program has such a good social environment.
• While driving into the bay area, a cop turned on his lights and started weaving back and forth to slow down traffic. At first I thought he was just trying to slow the flow of traffic, that maybe everyone was speeding too much. But he got slower and slower until he brought us to a full stop. Then I realized it was because there was some huge object in the middle of the highway. The cop got out of his car and picked up the thing and threw it to the side of the road, and then he drove off. And I felt glad he had done that, so no one would get in a bad car wreck. Good job, cop.
• Once I got to the bay I picked up Ellen and we got to visit on the drive from Berkeley to SF.
• Also got to visit with Dad, Jill, and Rocket.
• Rocket kept showing us the tiniest of scratches on his foot and saying "Ouch." Dad showed Rocket his massive scar from knee surgery, and Rocket responded, "Yeah, but did you see my boo boo? Ouch!" Haha
