Journaling:
The first seven days of January 2026 were a bit disrupted with Jason in the hospital from December 29 through to January 6th.
New Years Day was pretty quiet with Dylan coming over to play Warhammer 40K and then visiting the hospital. We made jalapeno poppers and spring rolls for snacking on while we played and took over the living room with our game. Guinness missed Jason a lot.

Since Dylan and I were both off work for the holidays, we had a few days of games and cooking. On the 3rd we made pulled pork in the Instant Pot and did up burritos. Jason enjoyed having a change from hospital food when we took one up to him. I had to laugh at his efforts to drink a Coke from a semi-prone position. He made these exaggerated “fish lips” to clear the distance from the bottle to his mouth without spilling it. I still think a straw would have worked better!

Guinness continued to be out of sorts, wanting extra attention, until Jason was finally back at home and in his recliner. All the while he was away, she refused to let anyone sit on his chair or even sit on his bed - she was protecting them for him until he got home.
