i almost couldn't wake up for work today. It was warm and i didn't quite want to work. In my mind, i wanted to get to the wedding and to our honeymoon! But i need work and i know i'm needed there. That need seems to show itself when i handle most of the Chinese-speaking patients and i was among the few that handled that at the front.
My parents and my brother picked me up in Amos' car. We drove home so i could use the bathroom and Amos wanted to pick up some loose change. i drove my Camry along as we decided to go to Koi Palace for lunch. No questions to ask, no wedding stuff in mind. Just lunch. It was a light dim sum for some reason and we were there for not too long.
We headed over to City Toyota to get some things done and i got a free wash for the Camry. Well, more like a rinse. They didn't do a great job with the wash, but the detailing will be mine to do. When all is settled, we headed home and i was dropped off at home to drive the van to do my thing while everyone else went to have their hair done.
What i had to do was kept low key. i got this Groupon for $30 worth of chocolate at Saratoga chocolate on 16th Street. The Groupon was for $15. Good deal and i had the intention to use it for Annie. For a special occasion, but i felt that it need not wait. i drove over to pick something nice and cool. They had pretty neat pieces of chocolate like a chocolate bowl made out of real chocolate. They even have chocolate white tulips with caramel as soil in a pot.
Got my chocolate and i took a risk by driving to Annie's work through downtown. i don't know how, but i found myself driving up Franklin and to California. i don't think that was the most efficient route, but it got me to Annie's work. We met and chat for a bit. i say that was necessary. Good to always see her during hours where people ought to be working. Good thing that she doesn't have much at work.
i headed back home and it was still warm. i sat around trying to work on anything that i need to do. Next thing i know, it was almost time for BSF. Before i did that, i had to move the Odyssey to the garage and just as i had it in the garage, i was told that Mom was ready to be picked up from the hairdresser. Parked the van and took the Camry. Came back and not long after, i was off to BSF.
Today's class was cool. i'm starting to feel more at home with my group and i shared my answers a little more this time. Volunteered to answer more this time at least. The thing that was cool was how every person that knew about the wedding came and gave great insight and encouragement. The leaders said that they'll be praying at the Saturday morning meeting and that's a comfort to know. Now i did get a sudden sense of revelation in the middle of the lecture and i don't know if this is "cold feet". If so, the heat probably offset the feeling or the Holy Spirit was there because i felt more excitement and peace than panic. Either way, this Saturday is going to be awesome!
On my way back, i stopped at Safeway to get Martinelli cider and grape juice for this Saturday, something i said i'll do for Annie, so she doesn't have to take on too much on her plate. Got some gas for the Camry and went home to shower, eat and speak with Annie. This Saturday is going to be a fun day! I'm excited! Ecstatically excited!
