Hectic Day

I woke up in the late morning, had a quick lunch at home with my parents and then set off on the road to visit my grandmother in Beverly Hills. She is in a rehab center after having some surgeries on her leg over the past couple of months. Traffic was horrendous! The 405N was even more of a parking lot than usual. It took me nearly 2 hours to get out to Beverly Hills, whereas on a normal day, I'd be out there in an hour. Turns out that a dead body was found on the Robertson exit of the 10E, causing all eastbound lanes to be shut off. Creepy!

My grandmother seemed to be doing well physically, although she complained about her health most of the time I was there. She was happy to see me and wanted to know how things were going in New York. I stayed to chat with her for a while until she told me that it was getting dark, and I'd better head out. It was only 3:30PM, and the sun was shining brightly outside, but I left to give her some time to rest before dinner.

Next, I drove out to Santa Monica to rollerblade with a friend on the Pier. It was a little windy, but the beach looked so nice and pure as we rollerbladed on the strand. We rollerbladed until it got dark and then had dinner at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. where we caught up on eachother's lives.
