Life can change in a moment's notice.

My interview went well, thank you to all of those who sent me wonderful messages and crossed limbs. I don't know the results yet and will not find out for a few weeks. All I could think of last night was how it's all over and now I just get to wait.

I'm not good at waiting.

Normally, that is. Ordinarily, I am just as stressed as if I actually had a say in what happens. But last night, I was so tired, so worn out that I just wanted to sleep. Just enjoy the momentary lack of obligations. And then my whole world changed.

A four-word question.

A magical moment.

A christmas tree shimmering with red white and blue, lit up angels, complete shock and public applause.

A single moment.

It didn't even stop there. It kept compounding. One set of good news after the other. One more unbelievable than the previous. So much so that waiting is not a problem anymore. It will probably take me a few weeks just to process all this news. Just to wipe off the smile from my face.

A single moment.

That's all it took.

Previously? Vortex.
