When in doubt, ask Chat. This has been my motto and though Chat hates to be put in this situation, it has pretty much been the guiding stick that I've followed--she makes the final say so. I have only 2 weekends left before I have to leave for Cebu and I'm starting to get overwhelmed with last minute decisions. I have an opportunity to do some part time work and make extra income so I am tempted to not leave this year at all and just wait til next year--- especially because a Jewish acquaintance whose biblical teaching I dearly love has started a new group and has asked me to help.

But then, there's my street boys and my stray cats to consider. I miss the boys and I'm dying to see my cats

. Ohmylanta, having to choose and decide gives me a headache.
