Well, CRAP.

Well, my parents are in town for my stepdad's job interview, and yesterday and today things went pretty swimmingly. His interviews yesterday and today sound like they went pretty well, my mom and I had fun catching up over several meals out (the Airliner's pizza is as good as whoever suggested it said - I think it was eikitty?), my mom looked around at realtors and stuff, I showed my parents some of Iowa City that I've discovered in the last month, and all that jazz.

This evening after supper (which was at Micky's Irish Pub, and was quite good) my parents took me out to Hy-Vee to do some shopping. (Since I don't have a car, it's hard for me to do a "big" shopping run on my own.) I got the groceries, we came back to drop them by my apartment, and on the way down the back steps to my apartment building's back entrance, my mom (who has lupus and fibromyalgia, and hence a limited range of mobility) fell and took a spill. My stepdad's taking her to the emergency room right now, but her knee is looking kind of bad (like, maybe broken bad). She also scraped up her arms and legs and banged her head. I would have gone with them, but they were both all, "Don't worry about it, you have class in the morning, you need your sleep." But I'm worried at the moment, and don't think I'll probably be ABLE to go to sleep until they get finished at the ER and call to fill me in. :(

Edit: My mom called me about 1 a.m., and while I was a bit muzzy-headed from having been woken up I'm fairly certain that there turned out to be no serious injuries, though they did prescribe some Percoset for her. So, yay?
