Late in Posting, as Usual

We have again have been lax in posting. I blame Miss Caitlin - she has been ill and very busy and she has quite hogged all the computer time.

Miss Caitlin's illness is thought to be linked to mold (or something else toxic) in her apartment. We have just returned from spending several days away, during which Miss Caitlin's health improved significantly. She has contacted her landlord and they are looking into the problem and possible solutions. Miss Caitlin fears that it may mean moving to another apartment.

No word from Josey. Miss Caitlin suggests, and I concur, that this is likely due to the fact the CFJ and Josey are occupied with a variety of things, which may not include writing to us. Additionally, there is a major delay in mailing times between here and Greece.

Miss Caitlin has finished classes for the semester, and has a bit of a break for the next few weeks during which she is only working. Mrs. Caitlin's Mother will likely come down next week to help Miss Caitlin clean. Cleaning would probably mitigate Miss Caitlin's illness until further action can be taken. Or so Miss Caitlin hopes.

The ants have not returned, though the spiders are moving back in. Miss Caitlin will be glad to finish cleaning, as the spiders are less likely to be a problem after a good cleaning.

Not on Her Way to Campagne

Miss Caitlin, as the title of this post would suggest, is not currently on her way to Champagne.

It was her hope to take advantage of the recess from classes that occurs tomorrow to visit the Library Science program at University of Illinois. Unfortunately, Miss Caitlin has been suffering from an illness that has not quite abated as of yet. While she is much improved, Miss Caitlin decided after much deliberation that she would be better served by staying home and resting tomorrow and calling and visiting the graduate program later.

Miss Caitlin is very frustrated that she had to make this choice, as she has been looking forward to leaving Kirksville and visiting her friends in Champagne. She is also frustrated that it has been gloriously fall like in weather conditions and temperature, and she has been unable to enjoy them, being stuck inside while ill. She was angry that she could not move her GRE examination from yesterday to a time when she would be healthier, but she did very well on the portions of the test that were already reported. However, the score she was most wanting to improve was her writing score, and that will not arrive for a few weeks. Miss Caitlin had to take a little more medicine than she was supposed to so that she would not cough through the entire test and prevent both herself and the unfortunate people who were in the room taking it with her from doing their best on the test. In general, Miss Caitlin is impatient with being ill and desires rapid improvement, which does not seem forthcoming.
