Colorado Trip
Dream Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park |
| 5/8 |
Woke up at 6:00am, since I have an appointment with a dentist, I left home
at 6:45am, arrived on time, or just I thought.
The actual appointment time at 7:50am so I waited for about a half hour
before I can get the treatment. They removed my old filling and replaced it
with a new one. They told me the part had an insulation material underneath
of the filling. I did not know when I got it but at least good to know. I
went to work after that, and stayed until 9:00pm. After coming home, I had a
quick dinner. I did a load of laundry and
I had a time to keep the drier running, and I think it is working, it
stopped by itself this time. very well. Going to bed after 1:30am... |

with my coworkers. They serve me udon noodle and rice & curry. Very high on
carb... My right foot was hurting a bit so I come home without working out

Woke up at 8:00am, did not want to do anything.
The weather was cloudy from the morning but started to rain from the
afternoon. The right side of head lamp went out so I replaced both lights
using company's garage. It was helpful because the rain was falling hard. I
could not believe I had to take out the whole head light assembly from the
car in order to replace the bulb. I came home after 8:30pm, and spend the
rest of evening relaxing. Still raining and it's a bit cold here... |

Woke up at 6:00am, stretched my body, headed to

like I want to work hard but I had to anyway. I was able to cook so I did
not have to go eat today. Stayed at office until 11:00pm so I came home
late, packed, get ready for the business trip. I called my friend who is
going to UK from tomorrow in the evening between the meetings. Went to bed

company stuffs in the evening and went to bed around 10:30pm about the same
time I start to hearing some rain. I did not get to fall sleep until 1:00am
