Sweet Friday

It's FRIDAY!

I'm on a roll today. I woke up early and went to Starbucks and got some treats for people in the clinic. I got my co-worker a muffin (the one that usually bakes me cookies and surprises me with treats) and she was so happy. I got a few other cake pops and were distributing them to other people that have helped me out a lot since I've been here. It really made their day. I feel really good today. I finally understand why people say it feels far greater to give than to receive. Am I finally growing up/maturing?

I'm also really excited today because I'm planning on driving back home to surprise my mom this weekend. It's her birthday on Sunday and I had told her last weekend I'm not going home so she's under the assumption that I'm not coming going to be there to celebrate with her. She seemed really disappointed so I decided to brave all odds and drive home THREE weekends in a row. I'm going home the weekend after that because it's Chinese New Years. But I just know surprising my mom today will be AWESOME! :)

I've been having a rough time adjusting to a new way to doing things in the clinic. I'm sorta sinking a little. I'm trying very hard to stay afloat, I'm sure I'll eventually adjust but as of recent, I feel like I've been just very frazzled and unorganized. I usually do better patient care when I'm not in that condition, so hopefully I'll pick things up and get things moving soon.

Remember my dental friend? I don't remember if you ever met her. Oh wait, yes you have, you gave her a ride when she went up to SF to interview. LoL. She asked about you. That's really sweet of her. I've been staying in touch with her because she's been trying online dating and she's actually grown quite fond of this one guy, but then she found out that he smokes weed socially and that was a total turn off for her. I was trying to tell her that through my dating experience, I'd found that not everyone is perfect and certainly there isn't going to be someone that you find that you LIKE EVERY aspect about them, so when you find out something you don't like, instead of discounting them right away, maybe try to figure out if you can work with it or not. Figuring out if it's absolutely a dealbreaker or if you can talk to them about it to fix the problem. If it is a deal breaker then it's absolutely not going to work out, but if it is something that you might be able to tolerate, then maybe you can work with him and just express your thoughts about it and see where it goes from there. Anyhow, I don't know what she ended up doing. I almost want to say she broke up with him, but I don't know. I'll have to follow up on that. But I just wanted to mention that she thought of you. We all do.  We all wish you a speedy recovery :)
