Finished!!!

There were several points in this past week when I thought Friday might not actually ever get here. The trial which I had thought we'd be able to wrap up by Wednesday afternoon, did not actually get done until after 4:00 p.m. yesterday. But, thank everything that's holy, we're done. More than that I'm done as an indigent defense attorney.

My mom, who is everything that is awesome, knew how completely stressed out I was over the past two weeks, so she scheduled me for a massage yesterday after I was done in court. After court I made a beeline for the spa and had what felt like THE most glorious hot stone/deep tissue massage in the history of glorious massages! Good gods, I needed that!

I finished the much needed decompression ritual by coming home to rocky road ice cream for dinner and the new Supernatural episode!!!

First, I can't remember when a Supernatural episode felt that scary! There were several times when I was literally watching through my fingers. Good job upping the creep factor, Show! I also loved having John's character back in the storyline, having the boys talk about their dad, filling in some of the holes in John's past. And I think that what we learned of John and how his relationship with Adam was so different than what he shared with Sam and Dean goes to show what I've thought all along: that he wasn't the heartless bastard and all-around bad father that everyone thinks he is. He knew what had been taken from Sam and Dean, in terms of a childhood and hope for a normal life, he realized this wasn't ideal, that his relationship with his sons wasn't what it should be, and while he might not be able to do anything about any of it, he wasn't going to have another son making the same sacrifices if it wasn't absolutely necessary. That said, the look on Dean's face when he saw the picture of John and Adam at a baseball game was pure heartbreak!

So, basically, YAY SHOW!!!

Now that the past two hellish weeks are over, I have a whole week off before I start the new job! I have a few administrative things to do in order to finish wrapping up my practice; and I have a whole list of things that have been dreadfully neglected over the past two weeks, like laundry and housecleaning and grocery shopping; but other than that I have nothing that I need to do or no where that I need to be until May 4!!! This is VERY EXCITING for me!!!

LOL, and I'm also really glad things are wrapping up for you. I got distracted by the pretty. I think I'm going to need a massage after next week.

Dean + Baseball = OTP That entire scene was heartbreaking. Oh Dean.

I don't think I got around to congratulating you on the new job. So...CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm so very happy for you!
