it's not life that matters but the journey...

thanks so much for the great update and news:) sorry to hear things are a bit busy and stressful. sometimes I forget that other people have crazy stuff happening in their lives too.

I think you did tell me once that you were a teacher, because I was also a teacher a few years ago. I miss it sometimes, but 36 students is quite a bit! good luck with that! sorry to hear about your other half being sick - I was sick with a brutal cold for two weeks at christmas, and now my husband's got it. it's hard when one person is sick and the other is worrying. winter here has been horrid - subzero temps day after day and snow!! but I'm leaving Chicago soon for warmer climes so that's good!!

also sorry to hear about your grandmother and your father. my father has parkinson's, so I worry about him. and my uncle was in the hospital with bladder and colon failure due to prostate cancer. it was touch and go for a while. but good things are also happening, as my sister is pregnant and due again in Feb. so i'll have a niece when I return to washington in June.

thanks for the email address. I was a bit panicky about two weeks ago about the LJ rumors, and backed up my journal. but it's good to have contacts. My email address is yatesfuji@yahoo.com - if we lose touch on here, let's stay in contact!! I still dream of visiting the UK someday and you are one I'd love to meet!

take care, and I'll be chatting with you on our communities when the chances arise.

p.s. I wouldn't worry about what kimbari or others thought about your opinions of Kate and other actresses. we all have different opinions. it's all good:)
