Oh, Susan. I hope it's an easy passing, for him. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Oh, Susan. Wish I could offer something constructive, but you have my respect and admiration for the way in which you're knuckling down and keeping at it. Go you.
So, I've told the company that I'll accept the paid position in Cairo preparing for the school's opening, whatever that consists of. But I'm hoping that once I'm in Cairo I'll be able to look around and see if there are teaching jobs available in town, and if it looks like I'm sitting on my arse doing precious little, I'll speak to my employers about the possibility of leaving until the following September, in order to ensure my teaching skills don't atrophy.
Not ideal, but I think it's the best bet for now.
Meanwhile - damn, I wish I could have brought you folks along with me today. We went to Haworth, home of the Brontes, which is a lovely wee town in gorgeous countryside. That aside, though, there's a wee shop called the Souk which is crammed with vintage and antique clothing - the majority being more than 60 years old. And I so wanted to have skinny wee Bitches to dress up in the fabulous things.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Thinking of you and your family, Susan. I'm so sorry.

Strength to you and your family, Susan.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
So sorry about your father, Susan. Strength to you and yours.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
{{{{{{{{{{Susan}}}}}}}}}}
{{{{Fay}}}} Sounds like you have made a very reasonable decision. Also, Haworth? I sure don't qualify as a wee skinny Bitch, but I'd have loved to see them playing dress-up, too.

Well, there's nothing like having tons to do to short-circuit that panic and worry response. We'll probably be on a plane by Monday or Tuesday morning, and there's much to do between now and then.
Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. They're greatly appreciated.
