thoughts....

Friday night special. Sushi and Sake. The best combination on earth.....well at least for tonight it is. lol. This is just a random thought blog. My day was alright. This has been my first week in my new job, my promotion. It has been a crazy week. There is a lot I don't know especially since my boss up'd and left suddenly. Trying to figure out what is in the works, what hasn't been done yet etc. I'll go in tomorrow to sort out his desk and organize. I think I'll go in my shitiest clothes so that I'll be sure no one asks me for any help while I'm in. I need the quiet time to figure things out. Oops! Just spilled some Hakutsuru on the floor....aww well. It's Friday and I need to unwind. Watched YouTube episode on Gordon Ramsey on The Hour. He IS handsome. An intellectual chef with an edge. I like. Got a bike helmet to go with my new bike. I won't look like a martian now like I did when I wore my buddy's old helmet. Not that I have anything against martians. I believe :) But at least now I match! Had a terrific bike ride yesterday evening down by the lake. It was actually euphoric. I couldn't help but smile. It felt good to exercise and work my body. It was great to see the sunset and the reflection it gave on Toronto's skyline. The sound of the birds at dusk. The freedom. Totally awesome. I'm stoked for the next ride. Sure beats running. I do like running, but it does kill my legs. Shin splints and all. I'll continue to run - no doubt, but using biking as cross training is "two thumbs up"! What else? Hmmm..I guess Myanmar has been on my mind a lot. Burmese General bastards. They should be tried for genocide cause that is exactly what they are doing. What are they getting out of it? To let their country people die. Not accepting aid. Giving false information about the cyclone. It's uber unbelieveable. I so want to donate - but I don't trust these rulers. I doubt the aid will go to where it should - and if it does, it will probably be "too little, too late". I hate to be pessimistic. But that is the truth. I'm flying solo this weekend. It's all good as I have things I need to get done and start doing! Lots of checklists in my brain which I need to get through. Dad was in emerg last night. Lots of bleeding from his stoma. I didn't know till mom called me at around 11pm. I had tried calling (I call every evening) and no one answered which I thought was weird. But then she called and told me that they were at the hospital. It was strange as my dad had just called me at work around 6pm. Odd because since his illness, my dad doesn't talk that much, let alone call. He just wanted to check up on me and see how I was. Unusual, since he knew I'd call later on. But I gather, he was scared about his bleeding and mom wasn't home from work yet, so he called just to hear a familiar voice. Maybe he thought it was the end. I don't know.
But luckily he was released today - this afternoon from the hospital. No confirmation as to what the cause of bleeding was. I tell ya, doctors are so different now compared to when I was a little kid. Nowadays, it seems you are lucky if you can actually get a diagnosis. Usually, it seems they are unsure and it can be a "number of things". Time to sign off now. I need to chill. Maybe I'll watch a movie. Have a good long weekend y'all!
