My social energy has been at an all time low the past couple of days but feeling better about that today after a lot of sleep. <br /><br />I am not even going to get into what a pain in the ass getting to Iowa was. I was in transit from 10am allll day until almost 2am when I arrived at my parents house. It was weird being back... seeing my dad like that and really dealing with all that was going on. I feel less panicked about everything though which is a huge relief. Things seem to be going pretty well considering, now we just have to see how he reacts to radiation and chemo and go from there.<br /><br />I got back into Jacksonville and G surprised me at the airport with flowers! I have a picture, but no cord for my camera so I can't upload anything! Rats! I was not even expecting him to be at the airport yet and was thisclose to passing by him being in the 'need to get to baggage claim now' zone. Anyway, they are on the kitchen table now and I had forgotten what fresh flowers can do to a room. Everything feels better when I look over and see them. It was really sweet and I have the worlds best boyfriend. He has been an amazing support and generally fabulous. <br /><br />I need to find a job. Someone needs to hire me! I did get a call back today but its for a contract position. It would only be for 20 days but at least thats some kind of income! I just need to figure out where this place is located, Jacksonville is HUGE! By the way, I had no idea how big it really was, when something is 'right around the corner' that could mean 15 minutes away or more. If its somewhere far away and is going to take me half an hour to get to, eh, not ideal. We will see!
