Okay, then.   Moemoe and I are completely packed.   Our wheelies and carry-ons are all set.   The house has been cleaned and shut up.   We've called a taxi service, and early tomorrow morning, a cab is coming to bring us to the airport.

You see, we are leaving and moving.   To another country, in fact.   

So, goodbye, everyone!

I got a pleasant private message early this morning, which I read before my usual early Saturday morning jog (sometimes bicycle ride), from someone named Kate, and she wanted to talk about some of the stuff I wrote.

My partner's done with her interviews in Manila, and she passed three of her four interviews.   So I guess we are pushing through with it.   She visited her family, and is having a wonderful time.   Turns put that she didn't need to check in at the hotel she had reserved a room in.   But the biggest, most important thing, is that she's coming home tomorrow.   Yayyyy!   I'm excited!

I may have mentioned before that my partner had resigned from her job, for family reasons.   But as is typical with her, she had it all planned out.   Prior to resigning, she had sent out her CV and had lined up some interviews.   Moe is going abroad this week for interviews with the ADB, the Thomas Jefferson Cultural Center, the WHO and JICA.   Not for any big position, mind you, just a position with their PR or research departments.   So she had an appointent at the hairdressers this morning, to get all gussied up for her interviews.   I went with her to get a trim, but mostly to keep her company.   But as these things always seem to go with her, I got roped into trying something.   So guess what?

I'm a blonde now.

Those that chat with me regularly online know some stuff about me.   Among them is that I ain't too tall, I have chronic insomnia and, aside from chocolate, I don't eat all that much.   It's not anorexia or anything like that, or any other kind of medical condition.   I guess I just don't eat much.   But yesterday was different.

Ma is coming later tonight.   By some artful arm-twisting (not literally, of course) by Ma, Moe n I are playing   host to eighteen people for Christmas tomorrow. And one Shetland Sheepdog.   And Ma's invited herself to stay at the house tonight to help us prepare for the family Christmas lunch tomorrow.

It's 5AM here in Manila, and I'm all packed, waiting for the front desk to call me for my short ride to the   airport. I'm going home.   After all of twenty-one hours here... This is getting old real quick...

I am leaving for Manila at 8:30 this morning.   It's for work, not fun.   I'm arriving in Manila thirty-eight hours later, or Monday 10:30AM Manila time.   And I'm flying back Tuesday 8AM Manila time, and arriving in Reagan twenty-five or so hours later, or Tuesday, 8PM Eastern Standard.   Sixty-three hours, or more than two-and-a-half days of flying time, for all of twenty-one hours in Manila.   and much of that would be time on the road, getting ready, or whatever.   I'd probably just have eight hours with the office guys... yeesh...

I just had a long discussion about story universes with someone here in BCTS, via Private Message, and it was a long discussion.    Pretty long discussion, though it had the feel of a slow motion kind of discussion since we did it by taking turns and responding to each other's PMs.

Two weeks ago, I was scheduled to go abroad, but that got changed quick, coz, the Saturday before, one of the guys in the office died.

Moe hasn't come home yet, which is a good thing, I suppose.   At least she skipped the power blackout.

This is, I guess, a continuation of that previous blog of mine, "Hoping for some help, or Grrrrrr." (See http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/blog/29554/hoping-some-help-or... )

Originally, I planned to just respond to the comments, but when I found my response more than already several paragrahs long, I decided to post another one...
