I'm sorry about the family issues. I wish you and them the best. Very good luck!

I will plan on hearing from you at the last minute. Please let me know if I can do something to make it easier and more convenient for you. (For example, receiving your prompts right up until ~6:00am Pacific Time on Friday morning -- ~3:00pm (15:00) Friday afternoon in Germany? -- would be just fine, without changing the schedule at all!)
