A Bit of Fic Progress and a Relative Injury

I finally got to write more We Will Hold On Forever. Since I did the rewrite for my Writing Portfolio submission, I used that writing time to continue my fanfic. I’m currently looking it over to improve and see if any more changes are needed, though I think I did a decent job. I might have to switch to concentrating on my Writing Portfolio piece when I get feedback on the rewrite but after that, I can switch back to my fic. I hope I can post some chapters before my Spring semester starts. I’ll be taking Writing Portfolio again and I might not complete the third draft of my Master Project before this semester’s end, so I might spend some time on that. The literature class might expect some more writing, so my fic time might be limited again.

I finally have the anxiety medicine put up to the level my other family members have it. I haven’t noticed any changes so far, even had some anxious moments I had to deal with. Granted, the person subscribing me this medication did say that it might take a while for an effect to be noticed and I was prepared for that anyway. The meds have helped me a bit and I’ll continue taking them to see how they can help.

I got a bit of a scare last Wednesday when Mom in her rush tripped over a trash cover and hurt her foot. She let out quite the scream. She limped throughout the day, being in some pain. I managed to get her to use Grandma’s cane, which she appreciated but she healed enough that she mostly didn’t need to use the cane the following days, even though the foot still hurt. She went to have the foot checked a couple days later and apparently the popping sound she heard was a bone fragment breaking off and dangling in the muscle and tendons (bone avulsion) which is giving pain. She is to wear a foot brace when walking (She had trouble stuffing it into her shoe initially, and when she did fit it, it felt like her foot was squished) and to relax her foot when sitting. She can still walk around but it does hurt her after a while. I hope the foot heals eventually and she doesn’t have to walk with any pain. And we did find that there is a cane around that her mom used to use that can help with foot problems, which might come in useful later. Mom found it touching and she said it felt like she was becoming close to her through that.

That’s all for now. Happy Halloween Eve. Until the end of November, see you!
