Updates...

I am so loving this song...
Dashboard Confessional's "Don't Wait"
-----------------------------------

Papa's recovery is good so far - staples already removed by Dr. Kobayashi - now a few steristrips are present at the incision line to help keep the skin together, and no signs of infection so far. The
suprapubic catheter is still there - I'm just cleaning the site and changing the dressing every time Papa has his sponge bath. So far the site looks okay, I'm monitoring for infection as well.

Papa gets around the house just fine - he's the one draining his urine bag and recording the output for the doctors. We've got appointments to get to still, and this catheter will be with Papa for almost a month.

---------------------

Val's back at last ;-D She got in sometime after midnight, and now she's relaxing today. The family got together for lunch here at Latte Heights - Mom and Dad cooked for us, so it was good chow :-D The only ones missing were Uncle Paul (at work), Ro (I think at work also) and Trev (still off-island for national guard training). Justin is still here, playing with Val and Myloe ^_^


We were able to watch Chet's ultrasound videos - we all agree that baby "Corbin" (that's the name Chet and Vic decided on) has his daddy's nose and so far we think he has Chet's mouth. But most of the time he would hide his face with his arms and hands - but we were able to see him yawn and suck his thumb :-D It's amazing that this kid is inside of my sister! We told Justin that soon he will be an uncle, but I don't think he understands what that really means :-P


---------------------


I got me an iPod Nano 4Gig (2nd generation)! It's the blue colored one - I'm loving it so much. I wish I had more time to listen to it - work has banned iPod use, so I can't listen to it there, even if I'm just charting at the computer, so really I've been using it to put me to sleep at night :-D

I realize that I will soon have to upgrade my cellphone - the current one is doing funky shit - like shorter battery life and sudden shut-downs without me even doing anything. *shrugs* I guess it's just time to retire it - I've had it for more than 3 years now.

Then...the ultimate tech-toy that I have my eyes set on - the Creative Zen Vision W (60 Gig model) - that is a cool-ass personal multimedia player.


Here's the official site: http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=213&subcategory=214&product=15752
It supports most audio and video formats - like DivX.

-------------------------
I guess that's it for now. Sometimes I'm reminded at work about my breakup - there's still lots of people who think I'm still together with him - it's getting to me now - I hate repeating myself and explaining to people all the time why I broke it off. If I really wanted them to know, I would offer the information myself, right? It's just a little annoying, that's all.
