What a hideous, hideous twist of fate! In part: "In a statement, the patient's family said they were grateful the transplant happened, and "devastated and heartbroken" for the families of the six men."

So I know I've been bad about blogging the last few days-you really don't need to keep sending me emails about it (cough*grampa*cough)!

I've been working, trying to visit Peter in the Sanno Hotel (err hospital), working some more, dreaming about work (it's lucky I love it haha), going to the gym, sorting out two jobs for next week, one teaching one that's 2 hours a day for ten days, and one marking one that's 3 hours for one day, and 8 hours for 3 days, and then trying to efficiently work in CPI stuff around that and over the weekend...

Also got to chat with Navina and Sascha today, and it was nice to catch up with both of them! A surprised Sasch heard about the golf comp: "So when's the last time you swung a golf club?" "Um yea, last time we did?" I'm soo excited though, even though I'm sure I'm going to be absolutely terrible, we're in the fun division, so it really doesn't matter... Next week, yay! Maybe this would be a good time to visit one of those driving ranges you hear so much about (and incidentally, don't really see, at least I've not particularly noticed them)...

Doing women of the world research today, and was stuck, again, but how similar all of the women-related news really is! It seems to related to women's health care, equal rights in the work place, and either strides forward or back for women in developing countries. I'm not sure what else I was expecting, but it's kind of interesting to see. I love compiling it though-reading the news for several hours a month, something that I sadly don't do very often regularly, is good fun and very interesting!

Umm spent the majority of today hanging out with Peter in his new hospital/hotel room, which is even nicer than the last two-he's been upgraded a couple of levels in the game of musical hospital rooms he's been playing. This one is crazy nice with a meeting area, fold out chair comfy!), a (locked) balcony, and as Peter says, "two words you just don't associate with a hospital room: rose wood." Lisle and Kong came to visit for a bit, and Hitomi also brought Venus for a bit, and they had a cute, wiggly, cuddly reunion by the front door of the hospital. Two of Peter's nurses saw us on their way out and stopped for a good long 'kawwaaiii' and cuddle.(dining room/business center)(biiig room--should be a double bed though really!)
(note the tea service inside the glass portion of the lovely rosewood island)

We started watching some of the OC season two, as one of Peter's many, many visitors each day brought him all four seasons on dvd from HK (yay! this is a great way to brain-drain through the summer!) and it was just like reading a pink book, although I did fall asleep for most of the episode on the three dining room chair couch I made for myself... Ah well...

Came home, and Hitomi was making a delicious pasta dinner, so had that, did the aforementioned WotW research, and chilled... Off to bed now, teaching in the morning, and then hopefully, if it's not raining, a run with Helen before probably heading off to the hospital for a bit...
