I took some advice from a lovely friend yesterday and did some schedule cancelling. From now on, no more than 2 events in a week aside from my usual commitments.

I received my certificate of loss of Nationality from the American embassy today. Itās official, Iām no longer American. That feels a bit weird.
Chuo-do absolutely insane tonight. It took 3 hours to go 60km. Thatās the shit thing about spending weekends in the countrysideā¦ it always ends badly.

I was gifted a very expensive shamisen today. Apparently I now have shamisen class every Wednesday now. I suppose banjo to shamisen tracks in the arc of my story.

Good news about hamie. Heās out of the puppy ICU and in much comfier conditions. The tubes have been removed and heās doing really well.
Pupdate: he nearly pulled out his catheter when he saw me and howled in absolute agony when I left. I really wanted to pull him in for a cuddle but he had far too many tubes and wires attached. Now back home to Walter.

Pupdate: goodnews. Wee lad made it through and the surgery was less involved than they suspected. Perhaps heāll get to come home earlier and itāll be a but less expensiveā¦ will need to start selling feet photos soon. His, not mine š

Pupdate: We took him to the ER clinic and they found a blockage using just an echo machineā¦so I thought āoh good, itāll be a bit cheaperā but weāve been quoted Ā„700,000 minimum. Soā¦ I guess Iām spending Ā„700,000 today because my dog ate something he shouldnāt have.

Update on my dogā¦ headed to the vet at 8:30 this morning, and I think Iām going to tell them to just throw the book. Iām feeling this is probably a partial bowel obstruction as he hasnāt passed any feces in a few days and if it were a stomach flu heād probably be passing lots.

Heās 7. Heās had lots of health problems, some of which (his skin infections) were my fault because I donāt really understand bassets. Iāve learned over the years and doing the best we can now, but it is still touch and go. The house is so quiet now.

My basset hound is really, really sickā¦ to the point Iām starting to wonder if he might not make it. Heās 0% interested in food or water and the dehydration is pretty bad. We took him today for a drip. Hoping he pulls through.
