yonkyuWell I'm back from my business trip to Washington, DC. I really enjoyed myself there and enjoyed all the training's I took for my professional growth and development. I learnt some valuable new information to support myself, my team, and my center, along with the children's needs. Though I was able to go on a tour to see the White House and all the amazing and wonderful memorials as well. The Vietnam Memorial always gets to me, as well as the Korean War Memorial. My father and grandfather were survivors of these wars. A co-worker and I took a walk through Chinatown, and we are lucky to have missed a stabbing incident in the Metro. It was a pretty scary scene with at least 20 to 30 police officers at the scene. Very pleased to not have been around when it happened but felt bad for those that witness the scene. Then despite my time there I had to wake up on Thursday morning, the day to head home, I end up getting sick. It was a horrible feeling and I don't wish that on anyone. There was no internet connection, so I couldn't do any reading while I was out there. I was very disappointed that I couldn't read amazing stories. Its not like I missed much.
Its been an emotional week and a half. Before I went away for the trip, my uncle passed away. He was my grandfather's brother. So I am happy that they are together again, though sad to see him pass on. It was a wonderful service and its time to heal again.
Then I heard through my mom, that my grandmother is in the hospital. I found out yesterday that she was diagnosed with a mild case of pneumonia. At least its nothing too serious but still enough to worry about. She is doing much better and hopefully will be sent home tomorrow. Though I'm getting worried because they are looking at her pancreas and I hope that is okay and normal. I don't want to go through that again.
Not that anyone will care but I just need to get it out. I have been checking my story on AO3 and i'm very surprised that it keeps track of the visitors that look at your story. I'm amazing that I have kudos, and over 250 hits, very surprised!!! But in the long run, I'm happy to know that people seem to be enjoying the story. I'm very pleased with it and glad others are too.
Another thing I have realized that I have a very small circle of knowledge within the fandom of SPN. I never realized how big the fandom really is, and how close so many members of the fandom are very close and tight groups of friends. Its really nice to see and sadly, I have to admit, I have my own, very unique, small group of friends within the fandom. And a few of those friends I will be meeting in September!!!! Anyway, I am still dealing with a roller-coaster of emotions and sometimes its very hard to deal with. And I know always have the outlet of friends to express how I feel about something. So those of you out there, and part of my circle, thank you for being there for me!!!
Hugz!!
