Yesterday was My Day

I had a wonderful day yesterday.
08:30 AM - Visited mom at the hospital. She was confined due to dengue fever. She's been feverish since sunday but she only came to the hospital last Thursday. Her platelet count was already down to 95. Thing is, she has Type I diabetes so we were really worried that complications may arise. Her blood sugar level was up to the near 400's. Anyway, when I got there that morning she was already feeling better. The lab results just came out and her platelets were up to a healthy 135. Yahoo! Stayed with her until 2:30 PM, alternating chats with her, sleeping, and finishing my sketches for the furniture design for the new pad.
02:30 PM - Went back home, dressed up, and got back on the road again to go the office to pick up Medicare papers for my mom.
05:00 PM - Arrived at the office. My papers were ready for pick-up. Said a quick high to J and company then drank an Alaxan capsule to fortify myself for the main event later that night.
05:30 PM - Left the office and got on my way to Sofitel for the Philippine International Jazz and Arts Festival!
07:15 PM - Met up with M and C at Tropical Hut, Star City. Had pale Tapsilog. No dessert.
08:00 PM - Arrived at the Sofitel lobby, met up with S, who had our Artist ID's, our free ticket to the concert
08:15 PM - Front acts were playing on stage.
09:30 PM - Incognito goes onstage. P-A-R-T-Y-T-I-M-E! (this one deserves a full post later)
11:30 PM - The crowd finally lets go of Incognito. But not before I begged Bluey to sign my Positivity CD. Spelled out my nickname for him. When he gave the cover back signed it for 'Dojo.' He gave me a new name, bless him! So call me Dojo!
12:00 AM - Our feet still aren't touching the ground. Giggling and jumping around like 4th-Grade schoolgirls.
12:15 AM - Late late dinner at Icebergs Roxas Blvd. Had dessert (chocolate sundae). Bluetoothan.
02:10 AM - M and C dropped me off in front of Classmate. Grabbed a jeep going to SM Fairview and from there transfered to a flying bus headed for home.
03:00 AM - Home at last. Looked up the sky and saw more stars than I've ever seen before. Performed my evening ablutions.
03:15 AM - To bed, to bed. Mom's gonna be discharged from the hospital later at 8AM.
I don't thank you enough whenever you give me days like this. I always remember the hard ones, the dark and sad and miserable ones, the dreary ones, the ones that are much too long for my taste. Thing is, you send both kinds, but I never appreciate it whenever you give me the good, the great ones. So Lord, today of all days, I thank you.
Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou.
Yesterday was the best day of my life so far. What a wonderful present! So I will honor it (and you) by enjoying it in gratitude. Even now that it's over, I will savor my memories of it for as long as I can.
