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.)

Thanks!

BTW, your postcards are, finally, going out in the mail today. They're in an envelope and addressed and everything.

I reread The Baltic Affair last night. I love the plotting and especially this line: "You must admit, it was a gloriously audacious ploy." Illya sounded far too pleased with himself, and a mischievous smile played on his lips. "I thought having myself smuggled out in a coffin was a nice touch."

Solo's reactions are good too.

Crikey, that was my very first UNCLE slash story. I'm still sort of amazed at how chaste it all is. *g*

Interesting. I haven't considered myself gen since, well, I wrote The Baltic Affair. *g*

I date back a bit. I probably formed my opinions a long time ago. Or it's because I use you as a Gen author on mfu_shortstorie as it's harder to find Gen than Slash each day.
