| Today was GREAT.
Most weekends since my surgery have been fairly uneventful (been getting busier as time progresses, thankfully). Today, I actually had plans in place to visit my dad, his wife and my baby sister/brother. I wasn't sure what time I was heading back home to visit until this morning when my dad called. He told me he had to work until 3 and needed a couple hours to get some errands done.
On most occasions I'd just waste several hours doing a whole lotta nothing until it was time to go visit but today I made a wise decision. I called my friend Sy to see if he wanted to lunch it up, and indeed, he did. We met up at Cafe Brasil (I hiiighly recommend it, f you've got the time and patience to wait for a table to open up.. well worth the wait!!). He brought his fiance and their 14 month old son along as well.
The food was fantastic, the company was equally great and I must say that their baby is freakin ADORABLE. He's got tons of personality and is about as cute as it gets. It was awesome watching people from all over the restaurant strain their neck to watch him as he made a cuteass mess of himself lol. After we ate, he ran around the joint for a bit making his rounds to ensure that everyone realized exactly how awesome he is. He made tons of fans.
After we hung out a bit more since I wasn't meeting with my dad for a couple more hours, then I headed to Monterey. I got to my dad's new place and it's really comfortable, a definite step up from his previous place (that was nice, but had become a bit crowded). When I got there I was greeted with hugs n more babies hahah.. My little sister is 2 and a half years old, and baby brother is 7 months old now. They're both soooo cute, I love love freakin LOVE 'em! It was so fun playing with them, watching them play and interact with everything. I'm pretty sure my face is going to hurt tomorrow from not being able to do anything but smile all day.. My dad's wife also cooked us dinner, which was alsooo delicious (greatfooddayfest.. gyea!!) She made pancit and BEEF adobo (I've never had anything but pork or chicken.. same for my dad lol.. and most filipinos I think?) My dad wanted to try it out so she obliged, and it was definitely worth the experiment.
After dinner, we had some ice cream =D::
I ended up sharing my ice cream with my little sister because she was more interested in the ice cream bar I had than the little cone my dad gave her hehe.. It was a great moment for me personally.. I didn't have anyone to share moments like this with when I was growing up so yea it was a really cool thing for me.. I know it's kinda dorky but whatever!!
Anyways, I'm home now and after much driving, laughing and eating I'm laying on my bed typing this up feeling more than content with today. It's the best day I've had in a long time, which is an odd thing to say because I have tons of good days, but today was truly great. I can't help but to feel truly blessed and loved/full of love.
I had a (sad) thought today after having lunch with my friend Sy.. After such an awesome time with them I hoped to always be able to remember days like this without hesitation, but couldn't help but wonder how many memories have faded, and possibly forever? I really hope it's a miniscule number, but who knows.. Oh well, it was a fleeting thought but I just thought I'd share it.. I might write a longer blog on that thought another day..
Enough of that.. here's to beautiful days and lasting memories!!

| The other day on a whim I decided to create a Twitter account, because basically... why not? What's another internet addiction really.. no seriously.. someone help.
LoL okay, maybe not so seriously, but still as if I needed another reason to waste time hahah.. *shrugs* And if any of you have twitter lemme know..
I've made it a goal of mine to begin reading more going forward, so if anyone has titles they'd like to suggest I'm alllll ears! That would probably go over better if anyone actually read this.. but again.. why not just throw it out there =P I'm also going to start cooking once I'm a bit more functional and gymtime is getting closer and closer.. I can't wait to feel like a normal human being again! I've got a bunch of other things in my head that I plan on doing as well. It's nice to have some goals again ;)
In other news, I've been pretty happy lately because my ankle is hurting less each week. I'm become more and more effective at work, which makes me less and less worried about management wondering wtf I do all day. I still go through hills and valleys of pain but it's becoming much more tolerable. My first major milestone was getting off of the crutches about a week ago. Staying off of them was allllso a relief lol.. there were definitely moments where I wished that I hadn't left them at home, but that's no way to get better now is it? I'm really looking forward to being able to walk normally, then jog, someday RUN at full speed w/o worrying how bad it's going to hurt. I try not think about all the things I'm going to be able to do just yet, because in the back of my head I'm still worried, "What if I heal and nothing's changed?" =/
It's a very small concern because I can already feel the difference from before and after the surgery, even though I'm not completly healed (by a long shot), but it still gets in my head on occasion. Mainly, I just don't want to get ahead of myself. The road to recovery is getting easier, but I've still got tons of work to do.. I'm just taking things one step at a time, literally. (hur hur)
Lastly, I bought a box of Thin Mints Girl Scout cookies on Saturday and they are effing delicious. I'm bout to go eat some right now as a matter of fact, because well.. WHY NOTTTT.. mmmmm

| I found something like THIS in the newspaper today and my inner nerd couldn't resist. I tried to just ignore it but it was just too intriguing.. I HAD to give it a quick shot. Anyways I've always loved word puzzles n stuff like that so yea lol.. I ended up solving the puzzle much to my own very nerdy delight. I felt so accomplished hahah..
I just tried "today's puzzle" and solved it too so yea *pats self on the back* I sincerely doubt that many people enjoy this kinda thing but who knows.. Anyways enjoy basking in my extreme nerdiness!

p.s - I walked for most of today WITHOUT crutches =D!! Hoorayyy for progress ;)

| sO.. I've finally started physical therapy (attended 4 sessions so far) and I'm glad to say that things have taken a turn for the better ever since. I'm still using the crutches, but I've been slowly weaning myself off of them and it hurts less and less each day to do so =D
I really can't wait to get off of the damn things lol.. but they've helped a lot. as well as added awesomeness of building up my triceps and deltoids lol. They're a freakin' work out hahah..
Anyways I just wanted to blog really quickly since today's the first day I've gone to the store for anything other than like 1 or 2 items (It's been too difficult to carry more than a bag or 2 w/ the crutches going up stairs..) so I'm pretty stoked about it hehe.. I'm finally just about 100% self efficient again hehe.. w00t. I felt really bad having to ask people to bring me water or food =/(HUGE and many thanks to everyone that's helped me out).
I'll try to blog about something less boring one of these days lol, but hey at least I'm using the page again =P
