Thanks to my wonderful partner, I had an amazing birthday. Syuusuke convinced me to get out of town for the weekend, and it was the best decision I made all week. It was wonderful to spend the time with him without the normal hustle and bustle of our daily lives, and I feel refreshed from the trip. Syuu, you are the best~!

Finally, a break from the heat! Of course, with the metal in my hips, these storms are no picnic either. Still, I'll happily take being stiff and achy over melting into a puddle. The plants in the store are perking up, too. I did my best, but I just couldn't keep the shop completely cool enough without risking damage to them, but the cooler air outside is certainly refreshing when the door opens. When it's not terribly windy, I've been propping the door open, too, so the fresh air can come inside. And Leo and Hera are thrilled that they can come to work with me again. Though poor Hera hates the thunder. She's tried to climb into the cubby at the base of Leo's cat tree to hide from it while she whines. She'll even snuggle up in my arms and let me carry her around like a child when I can.
I can't believe it's already this time of year. How the heck did Obon sneak up on me so fast? I swear it was just barely spring. At least it gives me an excuse to have a break for a day or two, though I have been doing a lot of orders for grave flowers. I do my best to give the customers what they want, and hopefully their lost loved ones like the flowers they choose. At least we've been getting a bit more rain lately to break up the heat, so the flowers won't just instantly wilt.
My god, this is one hell of a hot summer. I can't even have outside displays of plants this year because they just bake. At least Hera and Leo aren't roasting in the shop, though I'm tempted to start carrying them both to the truck at the end of the day. That sidewalk has got to be scorching Hera's poor paws.
Now that I'm fully mobile, it's so much easier to move around the shop. I'm so glad the crutches are gone. We've gotten shipments of flowers in lately, darn near every day. It's been warm and rainy, perfect for people to plant new flowers. Even some vegetable seedlings have been coming in, too, for those clients who like to grow their own produce. I've thought about doing that myself, but I can never decide what to grow.
In other news, Syuu loves the kitten I got for him. She's a real sweety, but she makes cuddling in bed kind of hard. Still, Syuu adores her, so that's a good thing. And Leo and Hera seem to like her as well. I've caught Leo grooming her from time to time, which is just as cute as can be.

I have had it with these stupid "journalists" trying to ruin my business by camping out outside my shop. I've called the cops on them I don't know how many times, and they just keep coming back. Can they not see I'm on crutches? I mean, I know I'm supposed to be off them in a week, but I might just keep on using them and "accidentally" tripping on them.
Free at last, free at last, holy shit I'm free at last!
Yes, that's right, they're FINALLY springing me from this place! I get discharged tomorrow morning, on the condition that I make it to PT three times a week. Momo-kun, I'm afraid I'll have to trust in you to keep the store going for a little while longer yet, I'm not liable to be cleared to work for at least another month, and that will be light duty.

Whoops! Forgot I need to respond to my dares in a post! This PT is seriously sapping my brain power. Or it's the monotony of the hospital doing that.
From Kamio-kun: I dare you to sing The Bad Touch and put it on youtube. After, you have to post the best comments that the video got.
Alright, I did it. During PT in the pool and everything. Best comment was someone giving me their phone number. Not even in a screened or private message, just...there. For the world to see. And it wasn't a number in Japan, either.
From Atobe-san: Challenge other patients to wheelchair races in the hallway.
That was an awesome dare, Atobe-san. Thank you. The nurses were in stitches, especially since there are some minors on my floor. They especially had a blast with it.

Have you ever embarrassed yourself in front of someone you were interested(what happened)?
Alright, now I have to reveal myself publically as a sap to tell this story. This was back in the first year of High School, right around the time the tennis tournaments were going on. I'd quit to focus on kendo, but I still played now and then for fun, and Syuusuke was warming up before his match. I offered to volley with him and help him get ready, no big deal, right? I can't even remember what exactly I was trying to do, but it was some fancy ass move that I wanted to impress him with. It backfired, big time, and the ball ended up tripping me somehow. I landed face first on the court, and just as I lifted my head, my racket landed on the back of my head. The broken nose didn't even hurt compared to the tiny shreds of pride I had left as Bane and Dabide carried me to the first aid station.

The end is in sight: the cast comes off on the 14th!!!!
Holy hell, I cannot wait to be out of this damn thing. I want to be able to sit up properly, and scratch all the damn itches I have. Mostly, I'm really, REALLY excited to get the catheters out. >.>
Momo, I cannot thank you enough for keeping the shop going while I've been laid up. It's still going to be a while before I'm cleared to work again, so I'm afraid I'll have to rely on you a little longer. I already have a thought on how to make it up to you for how great a job you've done, how does co-owner sound?

Ow.

I have casts from my waist down.
Yay autocorrect.

I want more good drugs.
And Hera.
And Leo. He purrs good.
[OOC: Saeki went skiing with Fuji and got hurt. He currently has a shattered pelvis and extensive breaks in both legs. As such, he is in the hospital and seriously doped up. Feel free to laugh at his misery, or come see him. He's high as a kite.]

Oh, man, that was a crazy weekend! I was all ready to head out of town, and the weekend manager called me. Said she couldn't come in because she had to get her appendix removed. Now, that's some pretty serious stuff, so of course I gave her the weekend off. She came in today and she looks good. A little frayed around the edges, but surgery will do that to you. She said she's got three little scars instead of one big one, since they got her appendix out before it could burst. I just have to keep someone with her at all times since she can't do any lifting for a few weeks.
Syuu, you are amazing. I'm recommending you for sainthood. I don't know how I would have survived this weekend without you there to help me out. Expect some serious spoiling in your future. ~__^
