I'm not sure this bit is necessary:
To add to this, we recently have become embroiled in a personal financial crisis that has required extensive work outside of school hours and my taking on all of the daily bookkeeping for Drew's self-owned business.
I mean, frankly, how busy you are in your personal time is none of her business.

(I thought the same, but I think Pix already sent it).
(((((((((Pix)))))))))
Oh sorry - I misread and thought you were asking for edits. I think your original email is fine (my edit suggestions were mainly to make it less apologetic because I think this woman is being an assberet and you don't owe her anything).
OW GODDAMNIT OW.
My thumb is at the point where it doesn't hurt anymore unless I do something to it. Which naturally means that I'm constantly doing things to it that make it hurt. (You know, dangerous things like trying to pick up my water glass.)
Jessica, I agree, but she is the kind of assberet who gets more and more defensive and nasty the more she feels attacked, and she ultimately has a lot of power over how positive or negative my life at my current school is. A little apologetic with a sympathy ploy is more apt to be effective than businesslike, as messed up as that is.
In the meantime, I keep staring at my phone and muttering, "Offermeajoboffermeajoboffermeajob."

Blech. I hope you find a new job soon.
Pix, jiminy. I hate that you are going through such a rough time and HoS is only making it rougher. Fie on her. FIE I SAY!

Oh hells yeah. Although I'm not crazy about the necklace. and it seems to be silver while the cuff is gold.
J.Lo looked fab. she does glamor well.
