Tue 2025-12-16 (Box Hill Hospital: Day 2)

N is having more scans today
11:30 AM — 12:30 PM
I visited the hospital & she seems somewhat improved. May need to stay overnight again for observation (more scans to be done)

Weights beforehand & filled in my paperwork for my doctor'appointment in the cbd this afternoon

2 PM
Skin allergy specialist to learn more about anti-histamines & potentially other options

• Two tablets morning, 2 tablets night: for 7 days 
• Then weening until symptoms re-appear
• Repeat this every 3 months (may take 2-3 years)

3:30 PM
N's lung scan shows a small air pocket that should re-inflate by itself, no worse than yesterday

Het CT brain scan shows some minor bleeding, sending scans to St Vincent for a 2nd opinion

I'll pop in on her my way home from the city. Trains seems to be running again ~ 30 min to Box Hill (fire brigade were called to east richmond station earlier today)

6:30 PM
Decided i head to trivia to take my mind elsewhere: Railway Hotel, Nicholson St, Fitzroy 

Parma $21 was serviceable

They serve beer in pints, pots and 7's ("butchers"). T always seems to run out of jugs, and serve a jug to you in 4 pots

Trivia host has retired. She was given flowers

About 10 people got up to dance during Y.M.C.A.

10:30 PM
Uber homeward. Very tiring day for me, taxing

Total steps: 6,900

Sulpher-crested chimkens (Rowville - Mitcham) On my morning walk i saw A's old neighbour, S. We had a quick conversation by shouting accross the road - him in his car at the traffic lights & me waiting to cross the road I was up early and straight into the shower, rather than checking my phone too throughly. 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
