cimorene🏥 My dad said he's supposed to get out of the hospital now that his blood pressure and body chemistry have settled. I'm keeping fingers metaphorically crossed though because of the amount of times they've turned out to let him out a couple of days before something else went wrong. Still, probably a positive sign.
🐈 Tristana seems to be feeling a LITTLE bit better, but we bought her some OTC stomach-soothing medication after a phone call with a vet. Apparently we can expect her digestive system can be affected up to a week by whatever upset it.
💉 Wax and I both have vaccination appointments within the next week. I will make an effort to see my friend in Turku as promptly as possible thereafter, but mostly not much will change. Emotionally, I'm still stuck on the fact that the new variants are evolving so fast that they expect everyone to need new boosters for them within a year or so already, and at the rate the vaccine is not rolling out to the rest of the world thanks to the EU and UK blocking the TRIPS waiver, the probability that the variants will evolve sooner is rising constantly.
🌿 My second week at this work practice is almost up without the manager finding time to either give me the new trainee materials or find someone to walk me through them, which is a bit bemusing but not really upsetting as I'm still having a fun time and being quite useful in the garden department - and learning stuff like how to water and prune a few types of plants and some more names for some plants in various languages (often including English, because people always talked about gardens around me without me paying attention except to a few favorites, so I recognize lots more images and names than I can match together even in English, and then I've had some years of being exposed to the Swedish names from Wax and her mom but the Finnish names are usually the most relevant ones now, although there's still about half the customers speaking Swedish when they come in). I'm going to try to see him tomorrow and ask about shelving and warehouse stuff and pricing and all those things though. I do want to learn them.
📝 My wrist is feeling a little better and I let myself write for about five minutes yesterday to test out a new ink sample, but it's not actually in the clear so I'm still not allowed to draw.
