Good news post, at last!

[serene]

Good news, yay. About time, huh?

1) Mom's problem resolved itself! She should be going home Sunday, with no
dangerous, major surgery. There are no words for what a relief this is,
or for what a rollercoaster yesterday was.

2) My foster-sister, Cindy, who you may remember from the time y'all
bailed her out of probable homelessness, has FINALLY left her deadbeat
husband. Cindy is addicted to housework; my mom needs help around the
house. Cindy and my mom get along like gangbusters. My mom is excited to
be able to help Cindy out with a place to stay, and Cindy's excited to be
able to help my mom, who she adores. Win-win-win, I'd say!

3) While two Lactaid pills are no match for an entire pint of coffee
Haagen-Dazs, neither is a case of anxiety. Comfort food WORKS, people. Use
it. :-)

4) The kid's transcripts finally came, and she's transitioned from an
all-electives schedule to taking things like college-prep English. Maybe
she'll be less bored with school now, though she's doing a great job of
keeping up with it even when it bores her.

Good news, indeed! I'm glad to hear it.

Hooray for happy news!

Okay, that thing with Cindy sounds just perfect for BOTH of them. Man, sometimes there really is a solution to a seemingly impossible problem, isn't there?

Totally. My main anxiety around this whole situation was the feeling that my mom shouldn't be left to fend for herself in that house with my nephew. I've been seriously considering a long leave of absence, which I really didn't want to do. This is like a gift from a heaven I don't believe in. ;-)

Excellent news all round.

In case you didn't see it on my LJ, thank you for the reminders to register to vote, as they prodded me into getting my address for my absentee ballot updated, and to prod my mum to register - she has just voted for the first time since 1967. So you triggered two more Obama votes in Pennsylvania. :)

Oh, you ROCK! And thanks for telling me; I'm about four gazillion posts behind on LJ.

Wonderful news! I'm very glad for your mom. And for you.

[redbird]

That all seems like excellent news.

Good thing for both of them and good for less stress for you!

[hnybny.livejournal.com]

So glad to hear it!

Wow, that's great!

Oh no! I just start reading your journal for the first time ever, and what do I immediately discover! You share my shameful weakness for downing whole tubs of coffee ice cream in one go!

Have you tried the Coffee Bean Blast they've been selling at Trader Joe's for the past few months? It's much cheaper by the quart (only $3.99) and it's pretty darned good. Because of it, I haven't slurped up any Haagen Dazs since summertime.

Ooh! I almost never go to TJ, but this might be worth a special trip. :-)
