I'm in Starbucks on a rainy day. There is an extremely happy little boy laughing and screaming excitedly with his mom. He's a little on the loud side, but I don't mind because he's just so happy. There is a man in his late thirties playing an intense computer game, with the big headphones and all. I wonder how long he's been here and how much longer he'll stay, though I guess it's none of my business. A father and his two children came in to get some drinks. He had a protective hand on his daughter's shoulder as they walked out and it made my heart happy. I love seeing dads with their kids. And then there are all the other people like me, reading and studying. I love Starbucks.

This morning I went to my first physical therapy session. I was in a bad mood and had an awful attitude on my way there, but was pleasantly surprised by the happy greeting of the receptionist. She seemed a little confused that I had a PT appointment today because the physical therapist doesn't come in on Tuesdays. Go figure...I blame that mistake on US Healthworks. I filled out the BUTTloads of paperwork and was then escorted to my room by the happy receptionist/nurse lady. The doctor came in shortly afterwards and did some tests. I was also thankful for her kindness and genuine interest in my injury.

She did X-rays and then took me in another room to start the physical therapy via electrical stimulation. I was a pro, thanks to my back injury back in high school. She put the little sticky things on my shoulder and I lay there for 15 minutes while my shoulder tingled. It was actually quite relaxing. She rubbed some muscle relaxant on my shoulder (which was NOT relaxing, haha) and then I was done. Whew, my first session wasn't so bad after all.

And now, I'm on vacation for the next nine days. On Friday, I'm off to Indiana to see...

ALSO, Erin and I are hoping to have a fall day tomorrow! I love the rain, but it would be nice to have a rainless fall day, so we can enjoy being outside. Fall is definitely the best season!
