Thank you so much, @Pleasantrees420, for your well wishes. The swelling has gone down nearly completely, however, the hand remains sore. I’m confident I will continue to improve. 
That said about my hand remaining sore, I’ve just been so antsy to pop some beans, today will be day one for 2023. We’re expecting more rain and perhaps a little more real weather (unlike what the Bay Area usually gets), but I just can’t wait any longer.
Today’s seeds are all commercial. On the plate, you can see what I’m germinating, one each of what’s in the bags.
I bought these before I knew how generous seed growers here are. 
My thinking is, if there’s more real weather and some seedlings potentially get damaged, I’d prefer them be commercial rather than seeds from here. I’ll be germinating seed from OGs in a week. 
I’m going to try to remember to take pics on a regular basis and add some narrative at important moments. You know, like first words, etc. 
This will constitute my space cadet grow journal! 
Thank you for looking!
