A relatively quick (but sometimes slightly shaky) train ride took me to Tainan this morning, and we were whisked away directly to the hospital to see grandmother. And oh my, she has changed a lot...looks a lot older, but still as enthusiastic as before. I was pretty dead tired by the time I got to the hospital, just wanting to get some sleep... I don't know what to say...it's all pretty shocking for a tired body.

Long afternoon nap (which isn't good for adjusting for jetlag), then a strange fishy dinner plus ice thingie, and here I am, typing away and trying to stay up for at least a while before I go to sleep again.

I feel pretty depressed again...sigh... This whole Francis thing is somehow really bothering me, mainly because I have no idea what's going on. Also, there's the adjusting to a life surrounded by people...which feels kind of odd.
