My bad news of the day:
A former student of mine (who is now 24) dissappeared sometime after midnight Monday. She was at her parents house, they saw her come in at midnight, and when they got up she was not there. No one has heard from her since. All my students and former students are posting all over facebook with missing, and telling her to come home etc. And I feel horrible, because I think she is dead. I don't think 24 year old women disappear, leaving no trace, no computer use, no phone use, and no credit card use without being dead or injured-- even if seriously mentally ill, I feel like an ATM card would have been used. And I feel horrible and sick about it because she was lovely and bright and talented and had a wonderful future ahead of her. But scenarios like being kidnapped and held or getting amnesia or running away seem unlikely and illogical.
I went through this with a work friend's BFF many years ago, and they had so much hope, only for the young man to be found dead in the spring in a field he was walking across. He had died the same day he dissappeared.
Unless something goes horribly wrong (note to the Universe: this is NOT A DARE), Husband has accepted a job offer in Houston. The formal offer letter should come on Monday.
And if the Houston thing falls through, he also has an offer from ABQ. So we are set.
(But I would prefer Houston.)
Congrats, Husband of Dana! Go Houston!
I stash tampons (ob) in my bra all the time on no-pockets days. My boobs are very squishy, so you can't even tell. If the bra was so tightly fitting that something couldn't be mashed in there, I wouldn't be able to breathe.
I'm sorry, Sophia.
Unfortunate crosspost. I'm sorry, Sophia. I hope she turns up safe.
All good thoughts to your former student, Sophia, and to you.
Sophia, I've never wanted you to be wrong more than this (well, or ever). Life needs to be baffling and surprising in as many positive ways as possible.
Someone gave me a link to this jewellery. I don't know where that goes, and I already took Safesearch off at work once (bondage has non porn uses!) and I don't want to reverse image search anything risqué...
I would agree that sounds very bad, Sophia. But I'm still hoping for the best.
Sophia,
I know about your worst fears. I watch way too much crime and true crime that I always go for the worst possible explanation.
I really hope you are wrong though.
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Jon!
We have a friend from New Hampshire staying with us for a couple of days. He gave us maple syrup.(Now we just need to get ingredients for waffles, as we have a waffle maker already.)
