the_rckI ended up writing a brief letter to the woman who's now in hospice care. I hope it reaches her in time and that she's lucid enough to understand it. I thought about sending a card, but I probably wouldn't be able to get one today, and I really wanted to make the outgoing mail today.
I'm poking at research for my Fic Corner story. I'm a little scattered because I haven't managed to decide which prompt to write. I've pulled the relevant books, and I dragged out an encyclopedia of mythology that kind of applies to one of the prompts. I may end up not doing that one because I'm not finding anything that really works for me. Admittedly, I'm still in the A's. There's time yet. Anybody willing to let me bounce ideas off you in private, either via e-mail or on AIM? I don't think knowing the fandoms is really necessary.
Cordelia's at loose ends today. The two kids she usually plays with are busy today and tomorrow with grandparents in from out of town. I think, right now, she's watching Harry Potter movies on her laptop. I'd try to send her outside to play, but she's extremely reluctant to go where she might encounter those two neighborhood boys. I can't even persuade her to walk over a block to deliver a piece of misdelivered mail. (We're on a short street. Off of it is a cul-de-sac that has the same street numbering as our street and a kind of similar street name. We sometimes get mail meant for the same number house on the other street.)
Scott's working twelve hours today. He started at three this morning and probably won't escape until some time around four. He's hoping to have the weekend off, but he's still uncertain of how that will go. His vacation starts Monday and, traditionally, they give people the weekend before their vacation off, too, but Scott doesn't trust that when they're this shorthanded. Scott's parents want us to visit tomorrow because Scott's brother and his family will have arrived by then. I don't know if it'll happen, though. If Scott's working, we can't get up there until nearly seven, and then it's time to turn around and come home.

Date: 2013-08-09 05:14 pm (UTC)I just hope the letter arrives quickly. I owe a great deal to this woman. She's post-polio, but she had three kids. She convinced me that women with disabilities could and did have kids and do well by them (my step-father lectured me about how people with disabilities should never have children because, at best, they'll be neglectful).

Date: 2013-08-09 09:06 pm (UTC)I hope it does too. Around here, if you send a letter one day, it usually arrives the next day if you get it out by the afternoon mail. That holds true for a goodly sized radius. She sounds like an awesome lady and role model. I'm sorry she is so ill.
