Today was a fun-filled day! Woke up early and went bike-riding with John. We were going towards PB and it was nice because it's downhill but the way back up was KILLER. I was trailing behind a lot but made it through, slow and steady. I like when the wind is in my face when I go biking. It's refreshing. Kind of like when the wind pushes against your hand when you put it out the window or when you snowboard down a mountain and the cool breeze (when it's too cold it's painful) is against your face. Afterwards we all went to the beach and it was a super nice day! The water was freezing but after hanging out for a while it was bearable. Patty invited us over for dinner at her place so we went and ate dinner (made some deviled eggs) which was yummy. We played a game of sequence and went to watch Harry Potter (for the second time for me). I should have known better than to re-watch a film or watch a film that started late because inevitably, I fell asleep. Don't get me wrong though, I really loved the last Harry Potter movie but I just couldn't help it. Hahaha and that ended my Saturday :)

Friday! It's one of my favorite days now haha. I have a half day at work so I tried to go apartment hunting but MAN! it's hard to find a place affordable for three girls. It was such a nice day out so my coworkers and I went to the beach (for...half an hour) before going to dinner to send off one of the girls who used to work at Physio. We ate at Masuo's and we took a nice group picture together but I don't have it. Afterwards I went over to Victor/Richard/Brian's place. We biked and got golden spoon (again) and rented Due Date (which I slept through).

I didn't take a picture today so I'm just going to post a picture I have of my brother and me when we were in SF last September. I know, it's cheating but hey it's a picture. This week has been really crazy at work, plus I came home to an empty house because Steph left for norcal for the weekend! I debated going home but I'm going home for the next two weeks. Today I just rested after work and went over to JJ & John's house to talk and hang out. Then I returned to dark, empty house.

I don't know if you know this about me but I'm scared of the dark and I'm scared of being in the house alone at night. When I was younger my brother and I would run out of our rooms after we turned the lights off because we were scared of being in the dark. Our lamp was on the opposite side of our door and so it was necessary to run across the room to make it back to the lit hallway/living room. I remember we'd talk to each other loudly as we went to turn the lights off to make sure the other person was there waiting for us. Haha, none of this is probably funny to you unless you're Josh hahahahha. Remember, Josh? Just something I thought of while I returned home to the dark, empty house.

On Monday one of our patients, who was progressing well, came in with a lot of pain. She cried while she told us how frustrated she was. It was really sad to see her that way so on her way out I gave her a little sticky with a verse that my friend once shared with me during a hard time:

Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Today she called me over in the middle of her therapy session, grabbed my hand, and said, "Thank you. You have no idea how much that helped me. That is my go-to verse and it always gets me through the hard times" as her eyes became watery.

Later that day I met with Jenn Chin for golden spoon YUM! I haven't been there for a while so it was nice to get my regular mini half peanut butter cup half vanilla (today I added m&ms). We just picked up from where we left off. Haha talked about boys, God, work, family, etc. 2 hours flew by! I'm glad we got to hang out Jenn! :)
