Left office on the dot but was kind of surprised tat it's so empty downstairs. No crowd at the gate. Wat a rare sight! Both of us so worried tat we'll marked. Coz 99.9% we leave office late, today is the 1% case.

Took bus 89 to White Sands. Tried out the donuts at tis shop - Yummy Donuts. Wonder when will the donuts craze bubble burts? Her hubby picked us up at White Sands. So lucky no need to wait after we reached. Another surprise today - saw so many patients Q turn after i'm ok with my turn.
