Thanks that is kind of you.
She was kind to us and made landfall to the east so we didn't have any ill effects from the storm. Since we we had massive amounts of flooding less than a week and a half before, I was extremely nervous.
Sorry I didn't come back and update everyone. It's been a bit hectic worrying about grades, starting new classes, and family issues.
Been a bit stressed waiting to hear what my grade is (comes out on Tuesday). I don't believe I've mentioned it before to the group but I have hearing issues (which makes my job of talking on the phones a bit ironic). Basically if you are talking too quiet I can't hear you at all. The problem I ran into was I followed the syllabus for one of my assignments (and our professor constantly said one thing and wrote another). The professor wanted x pages and no more. He had specific items he wanted to make up three of the pages (table of contents, title page and references) so I gave him 10 pages as requested. He said in class at some point (which I didn't hear) not to include those items in the page count and I didn't know so I did. So I discovered afterwards that I only turned in 70% of the info he wanted. He gave me an 82 on that assignment (which I felt was generous since I lacked so much). So now I'm a bit nervous. I know on the one paper I got an A and on the second I got a B. So waiting to see how our group paper and final exam scored for the other half of my grade. If I made a B or better I get reimbursed from my work for tuition.
As far as family issues, my mother and step-dad have been traveling the country from the past month or so. They were expecting to be back home around late September. They ended up in the hospital two days ago where they discovered that my step-dad likely has cancer. He has a "suspicious mass." With my mom being a doctor she thought with his original symptoms that he was having issues with his appendix. So here they are in WI having to worry about surgery and getting back to FL. They are traveling with an RV and a motorcycle of which my mother has never driven either. Due to the generosity of a member of her particular type of biking group (CamAm Spyders) a person they had corresponded with but never met dropped off a vehicle at the hospital for them to use so my mom can go back and forth between the hospital and the RV. This gentleman is also assisting in getting the motorcycle back to the RV for my mom. So here her husband is ill, has had a few blood transfusions, and needs surgery and they have no idea how they are going to be traveling back. Compounding this issue is the fact that my mother has MS which is why she is a retired physician. She needs to rest daily.
you mean maybe palo or remy?
