The world is, in fact, not flat...

My apologies to the few remaining readers. I have not posted in some time and I did not fall off the edge of the planet. Sometimes I feel like wandering to the edge though, and just peeking over just to say that I have...

As you know, I have a job and lately it has gone beyond just 'busy' and entered a whole new dimension of 'insane.' I feel I spend about 10 hours a day just trying to keep from drowning in a sea of work. On the upside, it is definitely job security and another big bonus and one I have not felt in a very long time: I actually like my job. I have a good staff and they are very nice to work with and for. I view my position as their manager of one of working for them rather than vice versa. They teach me everything they know and sometimes things they don't think they know. My boss generally leaves me to own devices to figure things out, which is fine with me most the time. Sometimes, it is frustrating, but generally, when I am patient with myself, I figure them out and I tend to learn best in that environment.

My husband is still stuck in the Canadian prison system and we are still trying to get him paroled. He gets issued passes occasionally for conjugal visits, which I enjoy very much. I jest of course, he is not incarcerated in the justice system sense, but he is in the immigration meaning of the word. He will be here next weekend for a long weekend visit and I am very much looking forward to going out to dinner for his birthday which is on February 11th. All he wanted as a big steak dinner and I made reservations at a very nice restaurant. I will try to put on a restaurant critic hat and critique the joint in a couple weeks.

I do have updates to my U.S. immigration process and I will get to those (including visual aids) in the next few days. In the meantime, I am still keeping a log of I-130 processing which is linked in the upper right hand corner of this page. I don't update it daily, but I do get to it a few times a week.

Keep fighting the good fight!
