"The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty; not knowing what comes next."
-Ursula K.
LeGuin

I hate uncertainty.

So, short story...
Took forever to get into my doctor's in Dubai. Once I was able to do so, they switched some of my meds. Said meds made me really, really sick. So sick, that I ended up in the hospital due to severe dehydration. During this time, my visit visa expired.

Used to be that people would take a day trip to Kisch Island, return to Dubai and renew their visit visa while waiting for a residence visa. As of August 1st, the law changed, requiring people to return to their country of origin. Hence, the reason I'm back in the states.
Upon arriving back in the states, I went from the airport to a hospital for dehydration again.

Feeling better now, back on my most of meds.
No definite date of when I will return to Dubai. Might be December at the latest. A's g-d I hope not that long.

Although we Skype as often as possible, I miss TheRammerHammer and the boys and MobyLover something fierce.
Friends are keeping me busy, having fun when we can...I feel very lucky and grateful to have so many people care about me.
Thanks for all the kind thoughts!

Hope all is well with everyone:)

I'm so glad you updated. I was about to hunt you down.

But what a bummer. All the way back here, having to leave RH and Moby and the boys - I'm so so sorry and I hope you're back there soon.

This too, shall pass.
Ask, believe and receive and it shall be yours.

I'm sorry you've had such a rough freakin' go of things, baby girl. You deserve so much more. And you will get it! You are such a kind spirit that there is no way that you won't!

I love you and wish all the best things to come to your way. SOON.

*hugs, kisses & humps*

P.S. Hey, maybe we can get together for that lunch! I'll mail you!
