great folks will be in Dhaka with me. hope to see them regularly. also meeting the blog authors whose work I've followed for the past six months was really fun. met up with a blogger friend the first day and my soon-to-be-nephew (that's what happens when someone marries a niece, right?) the next night. very full 3 days.
no apartment yet, but some good leads. lots of ideas. ready to book the flight. it's starting to feel pretty real indeed.
this weekend a quilt to make and my sister is on her way up to work on it with me. next week is a little less stressful since one of our visiting plans fell through. so we'll leave home closer to the wedding. unless we leave earlier to maybe get visas to India which apparently are much much easier to get in the States.
what else? classes are not getting a whole lot of attention, but still take quite a bit of time. I stopped grading while my tablet is being repaired. I'm pretty spoiled now.
still so much left to do from the list. have to try to realize I've accomplished a lot this week. one major upset with almond joy -- this separating thing is so much harder than I imagined. had lunch with students who will be in dhaka and they remind me so much of her -- they're really only a few years older than she is.
It was so great to see you and spend real time together!
