I'm sorting of touching wood as I say this but Mia has basically decided she doesn't want to go back after all. Hurrah!
Although I should point out it's not just for me, and it's not just for a boy or her many wonderful friends, when we went through it with a fine tooth comb it didn't add up as a good career decision. The new job was in a restaurant, nicely paid but no experience that goes towards a legal career like her current job as a court runner and receptionist at a law firm. So it's win win, although, eek her mum is going to be maaad. The thing that was most striking I guess is that as soon as she decided to stay she said she felt relief. Not happiness like she'd gone from neutral to 'yey good decision', but relief like going was something she was actively unhappy about and now she's calm again. That must be a good sign, surely?
In terms of where that leaves me, obviously ecstatic, I'm not an idiot I know we're going to have to say goodbye eventually in just a few short months, but a few months with your best friend are of huge value I'd say.
In my eyes she can't leave now anyway, we just ordered a mammoth food shop. The kitchen is literally going to overflow.
