It was a really busy day.
In the early morning I had a doctor’s visit through their webchat app. The new doctor assigned to me last year left the clinic already. This year a new doctor was assigned to me. The new doctor was aｎ Asian woman. She looks very young; maybe in her late 20s or early 30s. She was very nice and kind and supportive. I am so glad the clinic assigned me this doctor.
Since I am 50 years old, the doctor explained three options I can consider. The first option was Cologuard. It is a colon cancer screening that I can do at home. The company will send me a box of the test kit. I take the sample and send it back by UPS. The second option was Shingle Vaccine. The third option was Pneumonia vaccine. She was not pushy. She recommended me to do some research about them first. If I want to take it, I can call the clinic and order it. As the doctor’s advice, I will look up more information before I make my mind. I refused to take mammography and cervix cancer screening.
The doctor ordered a lab test for me this afternoon at 2 p.m., so I went to the clinic and had my blood drawn. It was my first time to visit the local clinic. At the entrance door they put a huge poster with a red mark with the big capitalized words saying STOP. It says stop entering to this building if you have high fever or cough, or any Covid-19 symptoms. When I entered the building, the same poster was attached in every single door to each room. It was good for them to perform such a strict protocol in order to prevent spreading the virus in the community.
I am glad I could finally have a lab test. I really hope I will have good results in my lab test in each test items.

At the early afternoon, my daughter had a benchmark test. The test was performed online at their live lesson room, and the homeroom teacher proctored the students through webcam. Unfortunately for my daughter, the server kept on frozen the question screen. Every time she answered the question and tried to submit the answer, it frozen. The teacher was dealing with 50 students in the small screens so it was slow for her to fix the issue for my daughter.
My daughter needed to sit in front of the computer screen for more than two hours to complete the benchmark test.

After the benchmark test, we went to the local library. We had an appointment with the library director. My daughter won the first prize for the summer reading program. The director wanted my daughter to come there to celebrate her first prize. There, my daughter received a packet of awards. There were small toys, a small notebook, and the award certificate. The biggest gift was a Walmart gift card. They didn’t know the amount. At home we checked the available amount of the gift card. It was a $75 gift card. We were surprised on how high the amount was. We appreciate their award.

At night from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., I was planning to attend at the Mantra class. But the school office informed me that I was the only one student and they needed to cancel the class. I was looking forward to the class, but at the same time, I was happy for the class cancellation. Because these past some days, I was dealing with the inheritance discussion with my accountant and I was exhausted. I needed a good rest and sleep. I can go to bed earlier than usual tonight.

Right before we went to bed, my daughter found she just had her first period. It was an Aha-moment. Maybe it was my family spirits’ support to have canceled my tonight’s class, so that I could stay with my daughter.
She got shocked and cried. I understand how she feels. We both understand that having a first period is a blessing, but at the same time, it is shocking to know she has already crossed the line from childhood to adulthood in physical body. I stayed with her and calmed her down. I was glad to be able to spend time together with her at this special moment in her life. Congratulations to my daughter. Dear my daughter’s family spirits, thank you for supporting her and watching over her all the time. Please keep supporting her and protecting her. She is nice and kind. She is very sacred and holy to me. I wish all the best for her, from the bottom of my heart.
