Chapter 24
I was anxious all week about my run with Bette. I really envisioned her running me into the ground since I hadn’t been as physically active as I had been at other times in my life. The concept of running with a tri-athlete in training was one I had with major fear and trepidation. After I came off call and took a quick afternoon nap, I took myself on a run through my neighborhood. It actually was good to get out. I found several cute little shops and restaurants that I thought I would like to visit later when I had some down time. I ran by several high rise buildings that had condos for sale. Because of the lengthy daily commute, I had given up on the concept of living on the beach. I needed to have as short a commute to the hospital as possible and a condo in WeHo would be at perfect distance to the hospital. I had not had much time at all to consider what features I wanted in a condo but I felt since I couldn’t be on the beach, I would at least like to have a view of the ocean, even if it was at a distance.
Because of my crazy schedule, I hadn’t made the time with meet with the trust administrators about what I wanted to do with the money I was about to inherit. They left multiple calls and I was sure they would have plenty of advice. Other than a condo, I thought a new convertible would be high on my list of things I wanted. The rest I could put away, consider donating, I just had not thought much about it but with my birthday rapidly approaching, I realized I needed to make some decisions and plans quickly. Among the things I needed to do was actually make the time to meet with the advisers. I had not spoken to my mother in over a month and one thing I can say, is despite whatever I might feel about her, she was a very astute business women, even if she viewed people as objects to be purchased and discarded at will.
My run was shortened when I caught a glimpse of a for sale sign for a penthouse condo in a high rise building. Given the relatively modest living I had over the past few years, this would be quite an extravagant change. I entered the building to get more information only to find the sales office was closed. The next opportunity I would have to look at it would be next Saturday. I considered it, if I ran with Bette, even if we had breakfast, I should be able to shower change and be free for viewing by noon. After speaking to the security guard about the building, I left a message requesting a showing of available units. I was thrilled about the prospect. The building had multiple first class amenities that would be more than I needed as a resident, but I thought, why not pamper myself after a day of ass kicking in the hospital.

Good to have you back Squirl, I did miss your Saturday morning post and now that the show is over will be looking forward to them even more. All of them not just Saturday mornings just to clearify. I can see where this chapter would have been super duper hard to write, it was hard to read some of it, you have a great understanding from both sides of the fence. So Raquel is on the way back, YES oh YES, didn’t even see that “perhaps” word, ya just don’t even pay it any attention. I agree with you, Thanking IC and the crew for the last 6 years and I say LONG LIVE FAN FICTION. Thank you, Md aka Oma
S once again you did a wonderful chapter here with Helena finally growing up as she is thinking of other’s beside herself. I must say I wish you along with a few of my other favorite writers here should have written the finale cause this is so much better IMO ;)
First, its great to see another chappie from you Squirl! I thought it would be the one with Bette and Helena jogging but I’m guessing that’s next. I loved the texting and the scene with Peggy and Helena. Perhaps Peggy did have Helena’s heart in mind despite the cruelty of her plan. The writing from S6 was some of the most disappointing to date from the entire series. So many WTFs left open and unanswered…I’m not the least surprised that Dylena broke up. IC has a serious issue with couples staying together – I thought she said something very notable in the show preceeding the final… “My own particular process is not to deal…” Well, I guess that explains why her characters don’t have the chance to deal either. Okay, I’ll stop before I get started. Hope you post the next chappie soon!
Excellent! I loved it…very emotional all around. Wow…Al is definitely walking in Lara’s place…Great words of support and compassion from Helena. I’m sure it was difficult to write but flowed quite effortlessly. Looks like Helena and Carmen are well underway with being friends and Bette and Helena…are on their way to being more…lol! Thanks for continuing to post…PPS
Hey S, that was a very good post..and I can appreciate that it was hard to write, you could feel it in each word…geez…whew…now you owe us a happy chapter sister….so get to writin’ (big smile)!!!
please, please a hot b-day kiss from bette to helena you guys are all we have left now!!!!
Yeah, I was that tired and disoriented once starting a new job that I actually went to the job before I realized it was PM and not AM. I’ve always felt that Peggy did her flawed best by Helena, sometimes inflicting unintended damage when she meant to protect and aware of what might turn up attracted to the Peabody fortune rather than the Peabody person. Yeah, mixed feelings with the end of the show, which actually was interesting to watch, not always the case with IC. Of course, absolutely NOTHING got wrapped up, but that’s par for. But I will miss it and the characters. And yes, long live fan fic.
