Waiting, waiting...
Well, survived the holidays. Waiting for the headache ;eft over from fasting to wear off. Definitely going to bed early tonight, to encourage it to be gone by morning.
The secret is out, my family now knows about my relationship issues and the ensuing chaos. I was not actually there to see the reactions, but almost everyone was concerned, and has been nice about giving me space. Excpet my grandparents of course, but Grandpa was nice and sent me a text message rather than calling me every twenty minutes like I'm sure he wanted to. I called him and sorted the worry out with him, so he and Nana aren't so concerned for me now. They know I'm okay.
It does help that my news was not actually the gossip of the year for the family. One of my aunts got hit by a car...that her husband was driving. In the temple parking lot, after services for Rosh Hashannah. She's fine. Honest. Brusies and a broken wrist, but that's about it. This is going to be fodder for family gatherings for YEARS. It probably wouldn't have been so funny if she had really been hurt badly, but she wasn't, so the whole family has been making jokes. My poor uncle's NEVER gonna live this one down.
On the job front, I know they're gonna check my references sometime this week or next. The HR lady from Boston e-mailed me for another professional reference, and I managed to get her one. Thank goodness for understanding, clergy-type, Smithie moms! Yes, she's the mother of a Smithie (which I only found out last year, after I'd known her for two already). So I sent the info off, and now I'm waiting again. Further updates when and if I hear from her again.
Hugs to all!!
