Give her my love, love.
(So chuffed for Herself! SO chuffed! I read the novel a while ago, and it's a peach, and I am going to go and order it from the bookshop in the centre of Cairo tomorrow, damn it!)

Back to me - just wanted to assure y'all that I've not been eaten by monsters, but that a combination of laptop-not-connecting-properly (I fear it's a trifle unwell) and being v. busy has kept me offline. All is well in the world of me, and I must thank you for the jobma; it turned out that they COULD offer me classroom work. I'm one of a team of five Permanent Subs, and although that sounds like the kind of person one might find in a bondage club, there's no leather involved at all. Seriously, it's worked out wonderfully well, and my coworkers are
lovely.
Largely American and Canadian too, which is nice. I've been working with the whole age range of Elementary kids, particularly the wee 'uns (with whom I have no previous experience). Life seems to have treated me with unexpected kindness on the job front - although I guess it could just be that they're hiding their evil rather better than the last guy. Possibly. So far, though, so good. I'm releasing the job-ma into the wild and telling it to go find Trudy.
Susan tweaked her neck and shoulder this morning. It's not nearly as bad as the back spasms that left her on her back for days, but she's still doped up on Flexeril and is day-to-day.
Thanks, everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Scott is apparently going to recover. He's still on a respirator but he recognizes everyone and is fairly lucid.
Hopefully, he will be off the respirator by tonight. There may be some memory loss, but other than that, he seems to be ok.
Hey y'all. I'm trying to put together party for Almanzo on the 1st, so if there's anyone in Sydney who wants to come, you're welcome. Just email me for some details.

I just had surgery on my hip yesterday and will be pretty much immobile for the next few weeks. So anyone who want to email me, go ahead; I'll welcome it in my boredom. I know this is probably not an ITACMB-level emergency, but I'm feeing sorry for myself and am inclined to exaggerrate.
Hmmm, something big is happening this weekend....Serenity opens on Friday! Oh, and I'm getting married on Saturday. I'll be dark gray for the rest of the week and black until October 14. See you when I'm an old married woman!
Aiiieeee! I'm sick to my stomach and excited as hell at the same time. Good thoughts would be very much appreciated starting at 2 pm EDT Saturday.
could i have some belated job-ma? I interviewed for essentially my current job on Monday and some trouble has occurred due to government stupidity (I know, I know - should I really be surprised?). Thanks.
We have a friend who works in the East Bay SPCA. A few weeks ago they took in animals rescued from Katrina. They are currently providing Vet care and fostering and the pets are listed in Petfinder.com. They've had three matches so far and the stories they have are pretty amazing. If you'd care to donate or just to read about the animals (and the oh so cute beagles are my fave), you can at East Bay SPCA.
