Well, I did find my pills this morning. It looks like I dropped them at home and not in the office, like I thought. It had rolled under the bookcase, and I wouldn't even have found it if it wasn't for my toddler niece. Thank the heavens for child-proof lids.

Is everyone doing alright? It's rather cold outside, isn't it? I think it might snow soon, and the pond is freezing up. I hope they'll salt the walkways quickly, I already slipped today.

...maybe we can go ice skating on it again, hmm?

Oh! While I remember it - the new budget report is out. Please take a look.

I kind of liked the little bit of rain this morning. It made the day more bearable.

I did stumble a little bit when I was on the second floor, so I really hope it will be fixed soon. It must be annoying to have the power switch on and off like that. I hope no one is prone to seizures?

Keiko is doing good, by the way. Hatori and his wife took her home from the hospital yesterday. She's eating and sleeping well.

Tech office, I need to ask if you have any external hard drives?

I'M AN UNCLE AGAIN!


Isn't she the sweetest thing you've ever seen?

Ha-chan Hatori e-mailed me the good news yesterday evening. They say everything went well, and they're really happy.
I hope Hikaru-kun is glad that he got a little sister!

They're naming her Keiko. It's a good name.

It was my oldest sister's birthday yesterday, and we all gathered at her home, after work.
It's been a while since I've seen all my siblings at the same time, and I must say that time passes too quickly.

Hatori's wife looks healthy, and they are already arguing about what to name the child. Kiyoshi brought his boyfriend, and I'm not sure that Chiyo was very happy about that, but at least she did not say anything. It was a good kid. Even Satoshi has a girlfriend now, and he was really happy about it.
Apparently Natsuko is still single, but she's doing very well in school.

Unfortunately Hamori had to leave early, and Hiro only stepped in for coffee.
It's hard to collect the family, and even harder to keep them in one place.
Sometimes I miss the old days, when we all lived together.

Yare, yare... too much family babble.
Today I'm only working to lunch, then I'm leaving to a doctor's appointment... and since they like poking me so much, I believe it will take all afternoon. Damn needles.

Ishida-san, did you get the year-end report I emailed you?
It was acting up a bit, so I'm not sure it was sent.

Of all the people ending up in a hospital due to a heart attack, Yamamoto-sama would be the least likely candidate in my mind. That man has always been healthy and strong.
I hope for a quick recovery - we truly need him around here.

In other news, I have another meeting with a big client today. I hope it goes well.
I will take my leave for the day after that meeting, though, since I promised my sister to babysit. Again.

Unohana-san, do you have any tylenol? It seems I'm out.

These rumors are rather worrying. I do not believe them for a second, and it is not right that people are spoken about in this way.

I would request that you please cease to spread these awful rumors, but I also believe in freedom of speech. So I will ask Yamamoto-sama about what is going on.

Perhaps he can shed some light over this mystery, and thus stop the other rumors from going too far.

This weekend, people are coming to install AC in all major offices. Good thing it's on the weekend, so no one is here. Working in construction sounds is not that easy.

On a more personal note; my brother Ha-chan Hatori is having another baby. I swear he is competing with his twin brother 'Mori on who can get the most children. They both have one each, born almost at the same time.
I should send him a card. If they didn't live so far away, I'd visit them.

I also heard Satoshi got a girlfriend now. They all grow up too quickly.

I'm back now, and I hope that everyone had a lovely weekend~! ♥
(Even if it was rather rowdy…)

I want to thank the people who were kind to assist me when I collapsed. I apologize for any problems this might have caused.

I had to visit the hospital the day after my collapse, and I had to stay the night, even.
Now I have two doctors telling me to take it easy. ^^'

I'm sorry, Unohana-san. I really should have been more careful.
One would think I should know better, after 37 years of this…

Can you believe I really miss this place when on sick leaves? Fortunately, this one was short.
One of my brothers was very kind to take care of me during this time, though, so it was nice to see some of my family again – if so only one. I miss them. Even if they panic every time they hear I’m sick. I don’t want to put them trough that pain.
