Feb. 4th, 2003 07:59 pmThe second day of no phone. i spoke with Abdullah Boland this morning before 8:30 about things relating to work, and then, nothing. So pleasurable. i cleaned out and rearranged some cupboards in the kitchen and the maid's room. Did some laundry, couldn't hang it out, the weather didn't cooperate. Read a bit and vegged on the couch watching the classic movie channel. Love old movies. Jimmy Cagney, Judy Garland, Joan Crawford.
The plan is to drive through Saudi Arabia and on into Dubai. This has already been cleared with the Saudi government. Probably Max would go with us, his shots are up to date. Of course this would only happen if the Kuwait Airforce decided it was no longer safe to be in Kuwait. Which no one does. But that is the plan.
Abdullah Boland told me the university has no plans right now to close. He also said if teachers don't come back within 15 days they will be terminated, unless they have an excuse, such as a death in the family or a medical emergency. The university does not feel there is an emergency right at this time so anyone who wanted to leave after the semester starts will lose everything because it would be considered a breach of contract. This is not what i understood when we talked a while back. The language thing can be problematic in times like these.
The weather is bad again today. We took the dog out between rain bands. There was lots of sand blown into drifts from the wind yesterday. It is blustery again today and cold. Not the nicest of weather days. The ocean was beautiful but again, not one i would want to be out on.
The wind blew so hard yesterday it blew the computer room door shut and broke it. Before dinner tonight Master fixed it. It was easier than He thought.
i didn't sleep well last night. i woke up with a headache this morning and nothing i have taken has touched it. The headache is not migrane, there is not that kind of pain. i don't know why i slept so poorly, after two nights of sleep of the dead. i don't want to resort to mother's little helpers, i don't know what to do about this. If i don't sleep well i have a headache in the morning. Most days it goes away after i am up and about. Today it didn't. This can not continue.
