Mon 2025-12-15 (Box Hill Hospital)

9 AM
I woke up to a message from N that she'd fallen overnight & was in hospital 
I arrived to visit her in "Short Stay" for an hour or so. She was in a lot of pain. Two broken ribs. Feeling nauseous. Hit her head. Also her stomach threw up the Endone (not used to such a strong painkiller)

As i left they were about to give her a painkiller they her I.V.

1 PM
Visited my friend C in the city, beer deluxe. We had soup for lunch. And then a drink at White Hart

7 PM
Back to the hospital before visiting hours ended. They had moved her to Level 8 to stay overnight. I left her with a phone charger, so at least she won't be bored. She really appreciated the visits today

She looked noticeably brighter —mercifully— and less grimaching & groaning when she changed positions (sit, stand, lie down). Still in a lot of pain but "managed"

Total steps: 17,500

I feel that my morning scrolling is best done over a coffee – however tempting it is as a daily-first-thing to pick up the phone to check "all of the things" (news, chat notifications, email, wordle) It must have been too chilly for the chickens up on boronia rd. They were not out pecking in the yard which seemed unusual. Presumably the were huddled up in the coop – i couldn't really see in N and i went to Project Brewing in roweville for the first time. The beers were very good. I had a burger and we are quite sure they delivered a different burger than what i ordered - regardless it was tasty (even perhaps better ingredients than what i had chosen) Back to f...

Catfish (Mitcham - Vermont - Brunswick) Got home at 9:30am. Shower. Meditate. Back out 1-3pm Range Brewing tap takeover at co-conspirators, brunswick. Surprised by "The Don" And then Catfish in gertrude st. Garage Project takeover. Two highlights were the barrel sours Foragers for a final "full stop" beer ... or two. Boriggy Hazy IPA. N closed the door as we left the bar —habitually— as if they had called last-drinks, which next day we figured was too early by about 5 hrs. Hilarious In bed by 8:30pm or so

Foragers A few laid-back beers turned into a fairly big session of Jagermeister, huge barrel-aged stouts, and IPAs I've parked nearby, so i'll stay over at N's apartment tonight & leave early when she needs to go to work Overall i feel grateful & relaxed. I've heard some things that make me think that this fling might be a thing - unsure how i feel about that but for sure it's feeling overwhelmingly like positive vibes 12:21am
