Last Friday was my third Friday in a row I had to drop everything and rush to a hospital because one of my parents was in Emergency! The first time (on Good Friday) my mom thought she was having a heart attack, luckily she was wrong and is fine now. The last two Fridays my dad decided he won't be out done. Both visits were for the same issue and they still don't know what it is, but sent him home with antibiotics and painkillers. This last time they determined he has a inflamed esophagus, but they can't send a scope down to determine what the cause is until the inflammation goes down.

So hopefully that the last emergency for a while, it's frazzeling to keep rushing to a hospital and staying there till the wee hours.

So that's the reason I haven't posted about my further adventures in babysitting Kelly at the pool and what not. Stay tuned 🩷

I had something super minor break at home. It required putty to fix and I didn't have the home repair version. Where the putty goes is not visible. So, I went with the gamer's friend... Green Stuff! All fixed now. LOL! #DailyLife #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Starting the weekend with grilling some Wagyu burgers. Lining up some frosty beverages to go with. #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

The Japanese government's new leaflet on preventing heatstroke addresses a rather serious topic in uniquely Japanese style.

Now that the rest of the family's medical stuff is handled, time for my own regular checkups. Vaccines are already up to date. I despise going to the doctor, but I sure as shit do not want to become the victim of the end stage diagnosis of a major illness. Lost too many friends that way. #DailyLife

Worked my day, finished assembling a #Warhammer Knight, built a custom base, primed the Knight and base, did chores, worked on my #DnD adventure, and listened to some great Buddhism documentaries while I did all of the above. Not a bad Monday. #DailyLife #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

How did I spend my morning work break? Wrangled the dog away from the handyman and finished assembling this guy. #Warhammer #MiniaturePainting #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
