Monday

So, the weekend ended very quickly as usual! On Sat, I still had fever and decided not to go to my company's Christmas party. Too bad! On Sunday, my fever went away and I was able to attend church. Our church had the Christmas concert, so we went with Jim's mom. The church has great choir groups (adults, students, and kids) as well as orchestra, and the concert was really wonderful! We enjoyed it so much. When we were leaving the church, I realized that my terrible backache was almost gone. So I think God cured it - what do you think? But I'm very careful with picking Kai up now. I let Jim do it as much as possible.
At work, we had "white elephant" gift exchange. I heard this referred as "Chinese gift exchange" but people get to pick from open gifts as well as from unopened pile. I first picked a toss pillow with somebody's face on it (it was a special order)! I was sure no one would want it, but luckily his boss picked it from me. At one point, I had an Einstein doll (which is like a GI Joe doll with Einstein head). Amazingly, somebody else took it from me. Anyway, I ended up with a digital photo key chain, which is pretty cool. Have you seen an episode from the Office where they do this gift exchange? Anyway, this was a lot of fun!
I had a session with my healer tonight. She is amazing! Even when I'm feeling pretty bad, she always lifts my spirit up. After I talk to her, I am able to go to bed in a positive mood - which is very important. I hope this week goes better than the last week. Good night!
