On a happier note!

Dear Friend has just accepted our offer at The Dream Academy! I'm so happy and excited. This is gonna be cool! Many of my blogfriends already know her: Flavia, T.E., Heu Mihi, What Now - we all went out for Indian food with her when we met up last October!

And in other news, the department that does the same thing TD does here at The Dream Academy has said that they will be able to give TD some office space when he spends long swathes of time here - specifically this summer and hopefully the fall if he can take his sabbatical then! Isn't that nice of them? And my Dean is also going to talk to their Dean about the possibility of something happening for TD here at TDA in the next year or so. I'm not thinking that far ahead - I'm not going to get as burned as we did last time. But, it is very congenial of them - TD has been in contact with the good friend of one of his co-authors who works in the department here at TDA and so he's already making connections.

Sigh, we keep pulling at the plow - but the initial shock has worn off and the daffodils are in bloom hereabouts.

Excellent! Is this the friend who lives where I do and where we met up?

Glad Dream Academy is stepping up in various ways.

Oh! I was hoping that was who you meant in your earlier posts--how excellent! My congratulations to you both. . .

Oh I'm so glad to hear the good news, all around. This should all make life in the next year or so a little brighter, even given recent events with TD's situation.

What Now? said...

Oh, please pass on my heartiest congratulations to your friend, and I'm so happy for both of you!

I'm glad that post-shock life contains daffodils.

Good news is always a mood lifter, yes? Let's all hope that this is the start of a long-overdue upswing in the fortunes of your household.
