Hell of a day.

So far today --

Good:

- Out Of Bounds vid! Thank you, starrylizard!

- wildernessguru's better, and I'm better, illness-wise. Still coughing but not awful.

Bad:

- WG's mom has been moved into the hospice and has been given two weeks to live. I don't know what to do about flight arrangments. I was thinking of going down on the weekend of the 6th, but what happens if...

- wildernessguru's sister emailed, saying she called us 6-7 times Sunday. We waited seven hours for her. We're on dial-up. It is phone or computer. She left it open-ended. We didn't know if she was going to call or not.

- wildernessguru's work needs a "return to work" form from his doctor for the bronchitis. The doctor doesn't know what this is, so they're making WG come in for another appointment. No, he just needs a form stating the diagnosis so he can go to work tomorrow. It's a euphemism for "prove that you've been sick because your job's on the line." Great timing to be sick.

- I didn't write the five-page paper the honors program. So much going on right now. Too much.

- I'm so far behind on Sanskrit between snow days and being sick I don't see any hope of catching up. I'm about to go to another humiliating Sanskrit class.

- Buddhist grad class homework: so far behind. I thought I'd get caught up this weekend but just, ach.

Um. Hell of a day.



ETA: Oh. Just got a nice email from his sister.

Might I suggest you go talk to your professor? My (er, late ex) mother-in-law passed away while I was in college, and they happily let me take an Incomplete (which doesn't count against your GPA unless you don't, y'know, ever complete it) and make up the work over the next couple of months. I know it'd put you behind on your Sanskrit, but I can only imagine it'd be good for you to keep attending the classes without the GPA stress, knowing you'd be able to catch up over the summer.

It's an option. There are reasons I want to avoid that, connected financial aid running out after a set time period, a double major, and the summer quarter classes I plan to do. But I know that my teachers would be understanding.

I never know how many ::hugs:: you want/need/whatever, but you've got 'em, and best wishes and thoughts and prayers. Take care.

Thank you. Just being able to vent a little *aaaaaaargh!* helps. Man.

I just want to offer as many hugs you can take. *hugs*

*snuggles into the hugs*

I've decided to stop feeling overloaded and frustrated. I've emailed my teacher telling her what's going on. Because swatalmud's right, people will understand.
