It is hard to imagine leaving California on a weekend like this. We have been enjoying phenomenal weather, thanks to those Santa Ana winds kicking up again. Today, we had a high of around 87 degrees, which made it a great day to be outside. We did take advantage of the weather this afternoon by having lunch at Rubio's, a Mexican restaurant by UCR (University of California at Riverside), which was the first time we had eaten there. It was just alright-for fast food Mexican, I still like Chipotle and Qdoba better, respectively. We then went to the UCR botanical gardens, which has some great hiking and walking trails through a wilderness type area. They had several different varietals of trees, which was nice, as we don't see a lot of green around here. 
They also had a rose garden and turtle pond. We had a really nice time. After we finished there, we wanted some Italian gelato, which we thought was just down the road in the University Village, as we had been there before-but hail! When we got there, the business has been shut down. So, we went up to Canyon Crest (a neighborhood center close to our home) and settled on some sorbet at Cold Stone. It was a nice afternoon. 
This morning, we got up and watched the Iowa/Northwestern game, which ended up being a fun game in the end, as the Hawks ended up on top. We're really looking forward to next week, as it is Iowa vs. Minnesota-so you can be sure we will have our war vests out! I don't anticipate the Golden Gophers beating the Hawks this year, but a girl can hope ;).
Tomorrow, we have nothing planned but regular Sunday errands and I have to attack a mountain of paperwork for work on Monday. I am going to be pretty busy this week, and I don't want to start the week with 10 unfinished evals on my desk, so I will be busy for 2-3 hours on Sunday finishing those up. Our clinic is staying busy, which is a blessing. A lot of the clinics around the area have closed, due to poor reimbursement from insurance companies. I think southern California is one of the worst places to be for that. Even the outpatient therapy at the hospital had to close, which is a huge shock. Our owner had to take a $500,000 loan out to have our clinic stay afloat, as she is waiting on that much money from insurance companies. Our clinic has had to let a few therapists and staff go, and have had to cut back the hours of an assistant. They are trying to get us therapists to eval as many people as we can, so we can give that assistant back her hours in order to treat all these new people. So-that means lots and lots of paperwork for me!
Thanksgiving seems to be right around the corner and I can't wait! I love turkey, and even better, 4 day weekends! The count is on! Have a great week everybody!
