Frustration strikes

[rkold]

I should be positively ecstatic, I heard from Erin last night that we/me/I am in the Puchi! Double Slash actually sent me their cute little form email addressed specifically to me. I need to work on doujinshi and my website, but I have an actual space at Haru at the Suzaku uke puchi with all the circles I adore and am now officially a Suzaku uke/GinoSuza circle. I so hope everyone is friendly or smiles or something. ^^;;

So I should be happy.

My mom despite my having mentioned to her when she asked me a week ago about dates has scheduled her newest back surgery for the 4th. I need to leave on the 11th or 12th. ;;_;; I was hoping to stay in Japan a little longer past Kyoto Dolpa in hopes of catching the start of sakura, I managed that in March 07 and it was one of the highlights of my trip. I loved seeing the sakura in Himeji and trying to get good pictures and had hoped to have the chance to do it at Takematsu or even Kyoto but now I feel like I have to come home as soon as possible to help my mom. This sucks. I can help her from the 4th to the 11th and work to get things done for Japan as well and uhh I guess draw/get things done at her house. My sister is coming in the 9th, so I will be there to help the days preceding that and my sister will be home for 1 week and I guess I will get to see her for a few days before leaving but just GAH! My mom said she would have to ask my brother for help, but he's only so useful.

I know she probably picked this time because it was when my sister could easily take off, but still. *sighs*

It's hard for my brother because he doesn't own a car and getting to and from my parents house from his office via public transportation is a real challenge and unlike me he does have a job. In the past since I am unemployed I've been the one to mostly help with my dad when he had bypass and even though I worked when my mom had her first surgery I was only 1 1/2 miles away. Plus her house was on my way home. If the surgery actually goes well this time *fingers crossed* she would actually be doing considerably better by the time I leave for Japan and would be walking again by the time I came home. Mostly she needs people to keep her company and to carry things for her or do things like grocery shop and without a car my brother is not going to be as useful for that.

I'm hoping my husband can help some. ^^;

She says it was also the earliest date she could get with the surgeon. Most of the surgeons don't want to admit that the first surgery was a failure and that re-doing it might help and would rather try to do a more complicated but not necessarily necessary surgery. It of course makes my mom cranky. She just wants to be able to walk the way she use to.

And thanks! *hugs* It's so exciting. I so hope it all works out! I need to get to work on my copyhons and postcards. I'm hoping to do one serious story and when light-hearted one based off Little Red Ridinghood.

I'll be there for mom, and I may even be able to work from her house if she needs me there during the day, since I've got a laptop and they've got an Internet connection.

Lots of love,
