Following a second one of these blackout episodes, the school has decided that I "need to be with my family" and is sending me home. This does not make me happy as I like it here more and more. The students really rallied around again and there has been a steady stream of people through here. I keep trying to point out that I am alone much more in the states than I ever am here -- but to no avail.
The really awful part of the whole thing is that I feel so great between /after these things, it's just about 15 minutes that are (even I must admit) a bit scary. Both times now I have been sitting down and surrounded by solicitous students but what if I was crossing a busy street. I guess I really do need some looking at.
To that end, I am leaving China on Tuesday, May 6 and after a really arduous trip, I will be in Florida for 10 days hugging small boys. Then I am going up to DC -- I never changed my health care plan, and seeing what they have to say. I can't make many plans. My house in AZ is coming vacant at the end of June so I can settle into that over the summer. I really do need to get the stuff out of storage and make sure it is okay, so that will be the next part of the new "Life Plan". (The old one kind of went out the window!)
So I will be around shortly and will see you all then.
