A Day at Home

David woke up with a stiff neck - he pulled the musle around the neck and shoulder. It happened three years ago. Now he couldn't move his head at all. I ran into the computer and searched for the remedy. Many people suggested putting on the ice pack and heating pad alternately. Some people suggested taking a hot shower. One thing to avoid was to try to move the head or the muscle. David lay in bed for two hours, applying the ice pack and heating pad. His mind was on the Bible class he's teaching at UTD campus tonight. He started preparing for the lesson in bed. Several hours later, he managed to get up and take a hot shower. He felt much better. I was glad to see him walking around the house before 10:00am. David jokingly calls Google "Dr. Google" since everytime we had medical or health questions, we always found answers on Google.

Both of us took a day off. I read and rested. David worked on the lesson for tonight. We had dinner at Grandy's and ordered a spicy fish dish from a Chinese restaurant. It didn't feel like a working day at all.

We arrived at the UTD Student Union Galaxy Room by 7:00pm. Only the organizer Renay was there. We helped with the setup. The students showed up gradually. I met a few ladies who volunteer to bring the food. Suddenly I heard my name. It was Peggy! She just came back from Shanghai. I was surprised to see her there. We saw a few people we met last Friday at the New Students Welcome Party. David did a great job. He talked about how to overcome worry and anxiety, which is a topic that lots of students were interested in. Many people came up to thank him for the lesson afterwards. His hard work again was paid off! We also played Pictionary. It was a lot of fun! I wished I took some pictures.
