This is what I know...

Some things came a little clearer today. For instance, this I know...I am positive I will have a job in January AND it will be one that I will feel good about doing. I'll be working in case management with people who have mental illness. So, I'm excited about that.

I also know that I haven't been able to think about much more than the fact that next week is Alexander's interview at the embassy and it is the absolute last step to our getting our lives together in the same country after all! This has been a long and incredible journey and we've just grown closer through it all. For sure, the cats and I are eager to greet him here at last.

Another thing I know is that I will miss some of the staff I have now dearly when they all go off to their other places of employment at the end of this month. I also know there are some I won't miss all that much. Truth is, that last statement makes me a bit sad. I don't like that I feel that way but I have to be honest with myself and that's how I feel.

I know I've been craving chili since reading about the local chili cook off last week. This weekend I intend to make the largest pot of home made chili possible. I know I will eat chili for at least four days in a row after that and then I won't want to even smell chili for the next 6 months!

I know I was relieved when my wedding shoes were delivered today. I know it's weird that I was relieved but I have big feet and can't always find cute, comfortable shoes in my size around here. I ordered wedding shoes a few weeks ago but when they arrived I found that wearing them for any amount of time was akin to having my toes in a vice. With nails. And fire ants. Yes. They hurt. So I ordered a new pair, different style and hoped for the best. Those arrived today. They fit like a dream and are very chic and I like them even more than the first choice. (Side note...if you know any broads with size 12 feet or drag queens getting married...lemme know...I'll give them a deal! LOL )

I think that's about all I know for today. Except for this...it's late...and I know I'm going to go get some sleep!
