in which my absence is temporarily interrupted
So! About this hospital business. I'm currently only home for a few hours; they don't seem to allow people to stay away overnight until the 4th week or thereabouts. I can't believe it's been more than a week already, but at the same time I can't believe how much has happened, either. There's ... a lot less boredom overall compared to the other place, though I suppose being able to read books has more to do with that than it being a better hospital. Still holding out judgement on that (honestly, no opinion yet).
Speaking of books, I finished Tiassa and the Inheritance Trilogy, which was loads of fun, and am now starting on the ones that I got for Christmas from my family. At first I was skeptical, but the story's slowly getting interesting. I love when circumstances motivate me to stray from my usual genres! Next week I'll also attempt to check out the hospital library (which might be difficult because it's only open for a really short time on two days).
In case you're wondering how it came to be that I left in such a hurry all out of the blue, let me try to remember. I hadn't slept in who knows how long when that happened, so the details are a little hazy now, ahem. -_- Well, I may have mentioned that I had to call them once a week to confirm that I still wanted to come ...? And last week I nearly forgot, in part because I'd expected to only have to do it twice, not three times, and the rest was confusion about whether a new week had already started or not. And inconveniently falling asleep on my chair. So I didn't do it until Thursday, but on Thursday they happened to have a free bed, and thus the nurse advised me to just screw taking all of my clothes with me at once and go there by train. I got very nervous, said yes, looked up a train, discovered that I had no more than four hours to get ready, spent four hours doing so in a slightly panicked state ... and left. Nearly missed the train, too.
I'd been extremely productive the night before, which was great because it meant that I left a mostly clean and unusually tidy flat behind. Being greeted by that sight was so awesome when I quickly returned to get the rest of my stuff the next day - or whenever that was. I even happened to have snacks on hand that I could take with me, and something to eat for lunch on both days! It was almost as if I had sensed that it was time to get ready. The only downside is that I also bought bread, which is now over a week old and may not be good anymore. :|
Uh. I am freezing (evidently the heating takes ages to start back up once it's been turned off for a while) and need to take a break from writing to re-orient myself, figure out what else I want to do while I'm here and how much time I've got left, etc. There will probably a locked post on ~feelings~ later.
