One good thing...

Sometimes it takes just one good thing to happen to make a whole day worth it. Today was a read dud right from the start. So many things went wrong at work and once the trend started it was all downhill from there. BUT...then I got the email! The immigration attorney emailed me the .pdf file of the receipt for the immigration paperwork that Alexander and I submitted. It's the first small step in this long intricate journey. Basically, all it means is that the paperwork was received at the Processing Center in California. That's all. But it's just the visual confirmation that it's on it's way and so are we.

Up until that moment I had a head ache that was verging on full mental explosion. I go that email and it was all clear to me that there are more important things than what goes on at work. And life is good.

The week that was...

I realized almost the whole week has gone by and I haven't written anything in my blog at all. That's a telling sign for me. This week...man, it's hard to describe this week. I don't want to go into detail but suffice it to say that this week was hard. It's left me feeling beaten and full of self doubt about my abilities. And that just pisses me off because I KNOW I am capable and shouldn't let other influences eat away at my confidence. But when it comes at you like a hurricane with teeth, chewing you up and spitting you out, it's not easy to hold it together.

I need a cave. With a TV and fridge.
