My sister said she would come up to visit tomorrow. She lives in Irvine so it’s about an hour away without traffic. I told her to bring me my pillow and a heated blanket. I also need a good stainless steel water bottle to keep drinking water cool and close by. The apartment is nice but the wall are kind of thin, and it’s freezing. We’re not exactly sure how to set the thermostat so it will hold a temperature all night. It would blow hot air for a bit, then revert to 70°F. Even with the kidney transplant, I still anemic so I still feel cold all the time. Hopefully the new kidney will fix that too.

My sister drove up from Irvine at around 11:00 am and dropped off some stuff from our house. The best was my electric blanket that was a gift from coworkers during my open heart surgery. We then went for a walk around UCLA (see next post), and then we had cake since it’s her 50th birthday tomorrow.
After she left, my cousin and niece stopped by. This is my dad’s youngest brother’s oldest daughter and her daughter. They live pretty close by in LA. We never meet up though. The last time I saw them was around three years ago. As we get older, we really should meet up more. I need to spend less time working and spend more time living.
