I GOT MAIL!!!!

[mugglechump]

Hooray for MAIL! When I finally got home around 8:30 this evening, James said, "I'm jealous of you. You have three cards in the mail." And I DID! heyurs sent me a super nice card that made me feel all warm and loved, and I got Christmas cards with very sweet messages from castoffstarter and rainpuddle13! What a great way to end a very long day!

Now I just need to get on the stick and mail out my Christmas stuff.

In life news, my grandmother is out of the hospital. She's staying in a nursing home for the next two weeks to finish recuperating. Apparently she got a nurse in the ICU fired. I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but I'll share when I find out more.

Mom is flying home on Wednesday, so I only have to feed the kitty tomorrow night and then pick Mom and Kenny up from the airport at lunchtime Wednesday. I love my family, and my mom's cat, but I'll be very glad to be done with that extra driving every night. And Punkin (the cat) is lonely, so she'll be happy to have company again.

Last night Becky started bleeding a little and went to the hospital. She and the babies seem to be fine, but she's on medical leave until her OB clears her to come back to work. She had an appointment scheduled for Wednesday anyway, so she'll probably be back to work on Thursday. Aside from having a fright, the biggest concern Becky has is that they did a sonogram at the hospital which means she probably won't have one at her appointment like she was supposed to, and she had hoped to get more pictures from it. The hospital, of course, is not set up for that sort of thing.

I have to say, far too many people I know have been in the hospital in the past few weeks. Nobody else can be ill! *points authoritative finger at you all*

I finally turned in my exchange fic this weekend. I was not very happy with it. I'm hoping my dgsmuttakah story turns out better.

I need Christmas-y icons.

That's all for now.

*hugs to all*

You know, I'm going to hold another fic contest after the first of the year for possible a british hardback version of HBP...

Oh! You tease me with goodies while I am wallowing in fic self-pity! Ebil!

Seriously though, have you decided on a theme?

[rainpuddle13.livejournal.com]

I have. I have judges in place. I'm just working out the fine details now and deciding on final prizes. *grins ebilly*

Great to hear your grandmother's well enough to leave the hospital :) I hope Becky is all right and nothing else happens *hugs*

Thanks! Becky says she's feeling fine, so hopefully it was just some random thing not to be concerned about.

Yay! I'm glad you got it in a reasonable amount of time!

Oh grandma got someone fired? *giggles* She sounds like a keeper!

I'll keep everything crossed (I'll even try crossing my eyes) for Becky's safe pregnancy from here on out.

You know I love your fic. No moping or I'll smite you.

You haven't read this fic, though. ugh. Just ugh.
