poor Mum
232 of 256 userpics uploaded, nearly there! I'm physically and emotionally exhausted today. I got a call last night after Rowan's graduation ceremony, Mum is back in hospital. She had a hip replacement a month ago and the wound has become infected and she was re-admitted to hospital to have 3 separate operations this week to re-open and clean out to wound and apply sterilising chemicals, draining tubes are also being inserted and left there between procedures. I visited her twice today for a few hours each and did some tasks for her between visits like buying her more phone credit and doing some Christmas shopping. I feel a bit better now I've seen her (and taken her cake!) but I do worry, she's being well taken care of but I just feel sad for her having to be in hospital again for another week since she was only recently and she swore she'd never have another operation again. We're also both worried about whether she'll be well enough to attend Rowan and my wedding next Friday.
Last Friday was the last Coven for the year and I mentioned that I'd try and do my hair up, mission successful!
It didn't have too much volume but it was hard enough as it was trying to cover the top of the hair rat with my short fringe, it basically involved a lot of hair wax, mousse and hair spray plus some crafty positioning of curls and flowers to pull it off. Also there was no cursing or yelling at my hair this time!
I'm wearing the lace and chain choker I made a few months back.
Le gasp, someone is not wearing a blouse! I didn't wear a blouse that night because it was very hot and I knew I'd be dancing for hours, I think the gloves helped make up for the amount of skin showing on my shoulders.
My dress is all tied up and I'm ready to go out! The boys were playing Halo in the background, I would have joined in but spent hours getting ready. It was a great night although I didn't stay out too late because my feet were getting sore and the amount of extra weight on my head while dancing was actually quite tiring.
I have photos to share from Rowan's graduation but it'll have to wait until tomorrow since I'm already really tired. I keep waiting to be able to get back to a regular schedule with work and day to day life but it just doesn't seem to be happening, something tells me the small time left in the year is going to be this unpredictable as well.
