About my day

Today on my journey to class, I was not paying attention and got into a small fender bender accident.  While I’m ok my insurance is not.  The situation went like this I was driving and had the brake down but I went for a water bottle to have a drink and must have let up on the brake and rolled into the car in front.  We got out of the car and I suggested that we move the cars to the side.  After apologizing, I looked for any damages, there were none to be seen. So without a hesitation I asked lets exchange information.  I asked the gentleman would he allow me to take care of this if any damages are present without involving the insurance companies.  He refused and said “your gonna have to call the police”.  I know that I was at fault but this got me so upset.  There is no reason to call the police for one thing both cars had no damage.  No one was hurt and if there are any damages I said that I would take responsibility of my actions.  This not my argument to win but I am extremely bothered by this.  I wanted to slap the guy for making a big deal about nothing.  First off I was apologetic and offered a reasonable resolution to our problem.  This not only took up way to much time, it also wasted so many resources.  I don’t know maybe I just needed to vent.  I can’t get angry because I was at fault but I’m human and I am.

クーラー


とても、暑い日が続いてます。
最近は、テスト勉強でクーラーのかかった部屋に閉じこもることが多いです。
室内、外で気温差が大きいので、壊れやすいビタミンCのサプリメントをとりはじめました。
テストはやくおわってほしいです。

Going back to Japan

I found out today that I’ll be going back to Japan in October, just for a few days, but I can’t wait. Last time I was there, I was so surprised at every day things, such as; every store I went into, the employees wore full uniforms, didn’t matter if it was coffee shop or convenience store; I also thought the postman was a police officer with the uniform he wore. I really enjoyed, and can’t wait to visit again, the small bars all up and down the streets, most only fit 6 -10 people in them.

I visited a Blues Club and that was my favorite. Even though the singers English wasn’t great, everybody in that Club was having a great time and they made me very comfortable.

I be sure to take pictures this time.

ケモ勉強会&プチチーム会


朝を早く起きるとかなり有意義に過ごせますね。

今日は院内で化学療法の勉強会があったので休日ですが職場行ってきました。うちの病棟はまさに化学療法の件数が多く、臨床に近い情報が欲しかったので今日の勉強会はすごくありがたかったです。自分が受け持つ時間帯に血管に沿って発赤が走った患者さんがいて、その対処があれでよかったんかな…としこりが残ってたので、それも質問して丁寧に教えていただけ、ためになりました。有意義な勉強ができました(・ω・)/


そのまま日勤メンバーを待って、ご飯食べに行きました。とろみどりのおバカな口調におバカな話、「あんたはやっぱり変わってんなぁ( ̄_ ̄;)」と自他共に再認識させられました。変わってるから、あの一年目さんとコンビが組めるんです。(開き直り) にしても、みんないい子やなぁ。体調、振り切って来た甲斐があった。話に花が咲きすぎて日付越えてしまい、明日、日勤起きれるかな…(>_<;) 頑張ろう。

Worried

My girlfriend Risa is heading back to Japan because her work Visa expires. She tells me that she will come back as a student but cannot stay very long. I’m not sure how this will affect us but I feel like I love her too much to let her go! We are still feeling each other out but it feels so right now. It’s very difficult to sustain any kind of relationship much less one that has international ties. I’m sure that it will work out if it was meant to be.

人の成長


深夜明け。午後から健康診断があるので
同僚とそれまでファミレスで待機することにした。眠い。。。

今日はいい話が聞けた。同期の話を聞いて昼間っから涙出そうになった。なんやかんや不満ぶっちゃけてても、今の彼氏さんと一生一緒に生きてくつもりなんやろな。「家族みたいな存在になったかな〜。」3年前に、「友達はたくさんいるけど、家族以外に自分のすべてをかけられるくらいの特別な存在って人いないから、とろみどりがうらやましいよ。」って言ってた子が、今、目の前で凛として話してる。一皮むけた同期が頼もしく思えた。なんか不思議な感動がある。人って成長してんだな。


もひとつ、嬉しい話。2人が付き合い始めた時に、嬉しくってウチが勝手に贈ったポストカードを未だに飾ってくれてるんだって。彼氏さんとうまくいかないときや腹立ったときに、それ見て、「よし、ガンバロ☆」と励まされてるって言ってくれた。自分の創ったものが人の心の役に立てていることが、素直にうれしい。

Mangoes

The last time I posted pictures there were only flowers, but now the fruits are coming out. It’s always nice to eat mangoes but sometimes it could be a headache too. Having to clean up the rubbish from the fallen spoiled mango that was out of our pickers reach, and there’s always the occasional stranger that will wander into our property. Most of the time they will ask for our permission but other times… Because of this I have been in the habit of closing our sliding metal gate. Its a hassle opening it everytime I drive my car out, but now it keeps any stranger from trespassing.

Mangoes!

Kitsap County 7/08

Hello All,
Summer has finally arrived here! It took until the beginning of July for the sun to come out regularly, but it is finally here, it seems. Everyone changes when the sun comes out here. Smiles, happiness- it is like we all just blocked out the gray and cold. We planted the garden in June, but nothing really took off until this month though. Finally we see the blooms popping out and we are just hoping that there is enough time left to get some food. Tomatoes, corn, broccoli, beets and squash are all on the path. We have been able to eat some peas so far. Really good. Something got into the strawberries we planted, so not sure how that will proceed. Bummer. The plants are still there, but they got sort of buried. We’ll see.
Other than that, I am amazed at the variety of plants that we have here. I don’t even know what it all is and it is all about four year overgrown, so a ton of work needs to be done to clear and clean, etc… We did tackle some of the field and got most of the fence posts in for a pasture fence. It is still just scratching the surface! Wish us luck!

Dr.Yoko Kelley ネブラスカ便り 64

ナコスの中村美智子さんと共著で、医療に必要な英語表現の記事をハワイパシフィックプレスに書き始めたのは1992年8月ですから、かれこれ16年続いている事になります。最初の『ドクター夏子の医療用談話室』シリーズを10年半掲載し、その後『ナコスの英語掲示板』とタイトルとフォーマットを改め今日に至っています。

『医療談話室』を本の形にして出版しようという話は早くからあったのですが、出版元探しに手を取られていました。その間に医学を含めて科学の進歩はめざましく、書いた当初は新規な内容の記事でも数年後には書き直しが必要になります。患者側の訴えは以前と同じではないかと思われるかもしれませんが、じつは、情報社会に住んでいるためか、殊にインターネット上での検索が可能な現在、ちょっと前には気にも留めなかった事柄、たとえば、遺伝に関する疑問を持つ場合などが出てきました。

記事の内容を時勢に合ったものにする作業を進めているところです。
