Absences 2

The weekend was not good.
The week isn't shaping up to be much better.
We're out of options and they're taking him to surgery in the next few days.

I'll be off more than I'm on for a bit longer.

More huggles to you, Rina, and we're thinking of you and wishing we could do more.

Yes.

Remember all that "the scans were clear, at least its not a tumor" nonsense I babbled earlier? The scans were wrong. The mass is large and inoperable and probably aggressive.

I'll still stop by to read, but just write me out of things for a while.

*just stares... and cuddles*

*Whimper.*

My mum's uncle has organised a big party for his 60th birthday and so we'll be in Norfolk for the weekend.

Hope to get back on here sometime Sunday night. If not, I have a free last thing on Monday and will post then.

Have fun without me, but miss_me_lots_dammit!

-- Julia, drivin her tra-errr

Have fun!
We will miss you lots!

I'll be gone for at least a week, maybe longer. Gotta zip down to check on Dad, then I've got a meeting in California all next week, then back to check on the DadlyOne again.

But for some reason, airports and hotels are good places for me to write. So I'll at least take Stone Unturned and might actually get something done on it in between being bored at meetings and listening to the kid and her dad chat about what a wonderful day they had at DisneyLand while I was being bored in meetings! heh. Or not!

Good luck with that, Rina, and hope your dad's still feeling okay. (If it makes you feel better, I shall be horribly jealous of the Disney-visiting duo too.)

'Ave fun in Norfolk, oh Shoebox-Driving One.

Plans have changed.
My father's condition seems to be deteriorating rapidly.

I'm back!

Sarina, don't think this weird or anything but I've been praying for you and your dad lots. I hope things work out very soon.

I will be away at this weekend, likely incommunicado starting tomorrow until Sat or Sun.

(Iain M Banks-specific ramble.) I just finished reading Excession and Minds, especially warships, Amorphia/Sleeper Service and the Grey Area, are the most lovely things I can think of, with the possible exception of small fuzzy animals, and even then, there's the Xenophobe...
*happy happy Culture glut*

My father's funeral was yesterday.
I'll be back when my sense of humor returns.

Sorry to hear that, Sarina. See you when you come back.

*Nods.* Sorry. Take care, and have time to yourself. See you when you come back.

Do whatever pleases you for a while. My sympathies.

Belated fair warning: I start classes Monday. The plan is to complete work early, leaving my weekends open to kick it. (You can probably expect Reeish boardspam by Tuesday, if only because I'll be without the required textbook for some days.)

Haven't been around lately, I know. Sorry. Had to apply for classes, scramble for books, procure tuition money and so forth. I'm sick of it already. Hopefully the class reading will entertain me just a bit.

Awww. We knows. School's school.

Speaking of school my Spanish oral is tomorrow. My real one. MY REAL ALEVEL EXTERNAL ORAL EXAMINATION IN SPANISH! ARGH!

Expect no posts until I can speak English again, and second class postage (caused by depression of failing to give oral satisfaction) when I do return.

Agueda: This is not an excuse for ANYONE to steal my Basky!
