Better news...
I realize I've been long out of contact with many of my friends, and for that, I apologize. I value every one of you...I'm just overwhelmed at times in this new strange place that doesn't want me to live here (damn you, Immigration).
Actually, we have some good news on the immigration front. The Boi called to check up on them since we were supposed to have had a reply by now. The ten day time frame they had given us that made us sure there was nothing we could do to remedy the situation during the appeal? *snicker* They told him they were backlogged three to six *months*. So yeah. Plenty of time for him to get a second job and make up the already small deficit in earning power. Better yet, he's just been promoted! Jan. 1, he'll be moving up to a supervisor position and more importantly, moving into another area. He'll be away from the complete idiot bosses that made his every minute there a stressful hell and be working for a longtime friend in conjunction with people he already knows to be fair and good workers. Huzzah!
So things are looking up and I finally have rested enough on this Second Christmas day to have the energy to try to reconnect with people. Yes, we get a Second Christmas day. Most holidays here are two days long. Fine with me :)
Happy Whatever to all of you. I hope to be in contact more regularly in the coming year. Please feel free to *poke* me if I am not.
Hugs,
Me.
