noodles in the sky, noodles in my eye

Two years later, in the middle of a class held by the company whose founder goddamn created the instant ramen, I bring you the continuation of Lavi and Kanda growing up together.

Previously, on The Years of the Warmed Over Book Worm

( .....the fancy took him. )

Guys at this point Lavi is going to be growing old in real time ;9

A general update! I got hospitalised so that the doctor could run more tests; the nurses and doctors were so kind, the elderly cleaning lady was fantastically weird and told me about how she went on a disco binge in Bali with her friends, one of whom broke their leg and still carried on dancing for another 2 weeks, and I got upgraded to a private room free of charge because the shared rooms were blocked. I had another follow-up appointment on Monday, where the doctor said I'm recovering really well, and while I was having blood drawn for some blood test, the nurse went hey, hey, do you remember me? From when you were hospitalised? And I didn't but I know beyond a shadow of doubt that I liked the hell out of everyone I met while I was in hospital so I smiled and said of course and she said,

while drawing blood from I, the no-longer-anaemic,

your sister is in Kyoto, right? What was she studying, again?

And in this way I am reminded that I have no goddamn filters and despite what I always, always say, I actually really like talking to people (esp. when they're super nice).

During the procedure, while I was sedated and trying to stay lucid, the doctor said, hey, hey, are your parents nice people?

Sedated and in a hell of a good mood, I went, yeah, duh, of course. And the doctor and the nurse went I thought so. Need good parents to make a good kid.

Sedated and now in an even better mood, I started giggling. God fuck the hospitalisation was more like a holiday, and thanks to Japan's national health insurance coverage, it cost very very little.

Research lab work has started; I've spent 3 hours weeding in the woods behind campus. I got cuts on my hand and mud on my pants and I spend a huuuuuuuuge amount of time thinking I am so very very stupid and so very, very slow, but today, right now, I'm feeling pretty good so let's go with that. Hope you're all doing good too! Somehow!
