Thanks all for your prayers for us today. All has gone off as well as can be expected. Slow return to normality beginning tomorrow. Really grateful for having known my Mother in Law with her gentle nature and open heart.
So… interview very early tomorrow morning, and this is for a unicorn job. I have another interview for a short, part-time contract that pays less than my current post, as well.
This is a real dangerous corner and I cannot help thinking that getting the job tomorrow would mean the difference between a bright future and a dark one.
Please pray for my colleague who is also out of work in the worst academic job market ever.
Please pay for J, who is on the palliative care pathway in hospital, and her brother M who is finding it very hard - also for our staff who are accompanying her at the hospital.
Please could you also pray for H who is very ill following a major heart attack combined with myriad other health complications. He is Roman Catholic and his faith has always been important to him.

Prayer of thanksgiving for Sammy. He got his hip cast off today and had his first real bath (not the dry rinse kind) since he was three months old. He is now ten months old. He will have a brace on for a month
The job interview went about as well as possible, and ran well over time. I was escorted to and fro by the EA who extolled what a great place it is to work and how great the people are. She seemed to really like me.
So now I am all filled with hope, but I have to stay focussed and not let anything slide.
I have got myself roped into one of those AI factories, which I don't really have the capacity to handle, but it is the only bird in the hand where income is concerned. Meanwhile I need to be preparing for this other interview, applying for new stuff, and getting started applying for grants with my current PI before I leave this job. And of course there is the 'this job' part of the workload to take into account for the next two weeks.
Also, Canada is requiring the Telemum to sign a document confirming whether she is alive or dead, and to have it witnessed in person by a professional, or they'll cut off her pension. This is difficult because she is housebound. A neighbour has kindly offered the help of a colleague who is an accountant, so I hope they will be able to do it. Otherwise we'll have to ask a nurse or doctor to come over for this and only this, which makes us cringe.
(We're also missing a single piece of paperwork for her financial assessment to pay for her care, because it's beyond the ability of her bank to produce a paper statement.)
tl;dr I'm tired! Just get me this job so I can have a rest for five minutes!

@Telepath - the Telemum has my sympathy; there's no bureaucracy quite like Canadian bureaucracy! Trotters firmly crossed that your interview bears fruit.
The adult daughter, A, of a friend of mine, D, just died suddenly, though after long health issues. D has had truly horrible things going on in her family before this happened, which I'm not at liberty to write about, and I can't begin to imagine how this will effect her and other members of the already stressed family. Please pray.
Prayers for all here, especially @Telepath , for her work situation.

Stress high. Overwhelmed by too many classes. Need help getting apartment tidied up by Wednesday as there’s an inspection for all units starting then. That threw me into a panic tonight. Feeling better, but please pray.
Also, the partner of a Facebook friend named Corvette is in the ER with blood clots in lungs and pneumonia. Please pray.
Also for my friend G going through a divorce and financial issues.
