it wasn't bbq weather anyway

Bronwyn continues to seem a bit improved today. She's able to sit up a little longer without severe headaches, and has a little more energy. She's not enjoying the food here in the hospital, and I'm seeing more of the staff canteen food than I would like too—that's where I'm posting this from in fact, using their free internet cafe. She doesn't seem as sleepy today as previous days either, which indicates improvement too I would think.

It's been a funny birthday. However, we had a cake (thanks Sonja and Colin!) and cards and presents at the hospital with Bronwyn. Highlight of the day: unwrapping a CD-ROM from friends Geoff and Adrienne in New Zealand, with (presumably) photos, audio, maybe video? from home. Lowlight of the day: discovering, as a result, that the optical drive in my laptop is dead. This explains the problem I was having with a DVD the other night. As a result, we've not been able to look at the CD-ROM yet at all.   : (   (I'll be able to copy it on another computer at home tonight—we'll watch it together when I see Bronwyn tomorrow—but this darkened my mood considerably. Last straw, I think.)

I just want Bronwyn home now, please. I promise I'll be good.
