I'll do everything I can to keep you by my side and I'll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom. Just kiss me before I go.

Despite having only gotten 6 or so hours of not so good sleep, I managed to be productive at work without any coffee. I did try a new place for lunch, "Barbara's at the Brewery," a bar located in the industrial part of LA near San Antonio Winery and Lanza Bros Market. My tri tip sandwich was pretty good, but I didn't like how we had to order at the bar, pay at the bar, ask for refills at the bar. Oh and during lunch (with two CEO managers and a former manager) I tried a little sample of a craftsman beer called "Aurora Borealis." I liked the name. After the bartender poured it, another one says "you know that beer is 13% alcohol." It was tasty and smooth but I wouldn't order a whole one. I cannot handle alcohol anymore, not even beer. My tolerance is quite pathetic actually. 
After work, I went to visit Sov at the hospital. I left work kinda late (6:20) and traffic on the 10 East was pretty good. I picked us up some food at a "healthy Yoshinaya" called Flame Broiler. Flame Broiler in West Covina but it definitely was not anywhere close to being a 5. I would give it a 2 or a 3. Price was cheap. Portion was good sized but the "salad" was whack. The dressing was as viscous as hair gel, the beef was thin and tiny and the chicken was dry. I really don't like instant/americanized Asian food. I liked that they had brown rice for the same price as white rice though. 
Sov is feeling a lot better. He was breathing easier and he was smiling. He has a really good attitude and is really resilient. If only I could be more like him....Unfortunately, our visit was cut really short. A murse (male nurse) came in around 8:20 and informed us that visiting hours at 8. I knew that, but the night before I was there until 9. So that shitty visiting hour policy is enforced really randomly.
