Patty update
Mar. 4th, 2009 11:53 amSo....
Patty just called. She (along with about 7 or 8 people from the dig) has been hired for a job by the Omani government, which means she won't be home on March 17th (as previously planned) but now around April 3 or 4 (we should know in the next day or two).
While I'm somewhat bummed about this, the opportunity is amazing (interesting, good for her CV, in a great location, better accommodations, etc.), and she's getting paid scads of money (fascinating and novel for a grad student), and it's more time for me to do lots of work and get life set up for us for her return.
Meanwhile, she had an x-ray the other day, and her lungs are all clear. So even though she's still coughing a little, no more pneumonia.
