Literally and metaphorically.
The smaller portion is coming home today. The hospital argued for yesterday, less than twenty four hours after they had allowed him food but (reluctantly) they agreed to let him stay for another day. Big of them.
Where he is concerned, cautious optimism is the order of the day. We are not out of the woods, but things are looking much, much better.
The literal rain is gentle and more than welcome. The garden is drinking deep and daily more bulbs emerge.
The metaphorical rain? His sister is unwell. Running a temperature. And difficult with it. Sigh. So I will have two invalids, neither of them well behaved, who need to be kept apart. I really, really don't want him to catch whatever she has acquired. And she refuses to see a doctor. Or take any medication.
On the positive side, Jazz will be very, very happy. Only the smaller portion is nice to him (or so psycho cat insists). I have been punished daily with tooth and claw for being the wrong person. Hopefully I will now bleed a little less. Literally and metaphorically.
