A Better Day

[przed]

It's been a much better day today.

I started off by pulling out of the running of both the questionable jobs. I immediately felt a ton less stressed, which tells me it was completely the right thing to do.

I then made a lightning run up to Parry Sound, arrived just in time to meet Mom and my cousin at the entrance to the hospital. The surgeon saw mom, and assured us that the bruising on her foot was just leftover blood from the surgery draining to the lowest point. It will dissipate soon enough, and mom is doing fine. This is an immense relief. (I'm glad we saw him, since the foot looks pretty alarming. More alarming is the fact that mom, my cousin, and the neighbour who's been checking on mom say the whole thing looked ten times worse yesterday. Yikes!)

I'm actually posting this via the good old Parry Sound Library wireless internet. Apparently they don't bother blocking LJ if you're using your own computer. (Hoorah for my shiny new Mac laptop. It's a beauty.)

Tomorrow I should be back in Toronto, and back doing the whole job search thing. (Though I'm thinking a repeat matinee viewing of Sherlock Holmes is in order. I really need to get a Holmes icon uploaded.)

Good news all the way round! Glad to hear you got there safely and that Mom is doing well. Glad too that you've pulled yourself from contention for those two jobs. You know what's in your heart, smarty-pants. And finally--yay for new Macs, Sherlock and safe journeys home. I'll be thinking of you.

I'm definitely feeling better about everything. (The physio showed up yesterday before I left, and told mom she's doing better than 95% of the patients she sees. So go mom!

BTW, can't wait to see the rest of your vid. Even if you're totally going to make me cry again.

Yay for making the talented beta cry! ;-)

Actually, you probably won't see anything until the weekend. Someone else in the fandom just posted a Jo/Ellen vid (it actually highlighted all the women in SPN who were killed too soon). I didn't want to piggyback on that, so I decided to wait. There's so much going on in the danged fandom, it's hard to know when it's a good time to post.

I'm sure your vid will be loved, no matter when you post it. (And I'm grateful I've never been in a big, popular fandom with lots of posts. I can't even keep up with my little fandoms. And we shall not speak about all the Holmes/Watson stuff that's going up hourly. Oh, for infinite time.)
