One of the things that struck me while visiting with Kuniko at the hospital was the total lack of any kind of activity. It was really boring, with only pay TV to serve as background noise to a quiet hospital room. Kuniko said that she missed the music from our house, and that made me really think about how often we listen to music. I think we’re listening to music pretty much all day.
That got me to thinking how I’ve been wanting to upgrade our audio system. The subwoofer is actually also an amp, and works quite well now. Unfortunately the fan that runs inside to cool the thing down has been getting slightly louder, and I can see the writing on the wall. If that goes, the whole system will go down. So I’m on the market for some separate equipment that will make any breakdowns less of a problem.
Meanwhile Kuniko seems to be doing a little better, but she’s still without a lot of energy, and she is spending most of each day recovering in bed. Yesterday she got a few phone calls from friends, family and coworkers, and I think that made her feel better. We are considering going out and seeing a movie Friday night as kind of a reward for the end of the week. Other than that I’m hoping to do some yard work outside since spring seems to be making an appearance. I’ve got to plant some herbs for the warmer season.
