Where we stand

First, I have major doubts that the package arriving at our agency in the next few hours contains referrals. The reason is, there doesn't appear to be a package coming from Beijing to my friend's big agency in Texas. It also appears that no new packages were sent out Monday from Beijing to either my or my friend's agency. Thus, if the current package doesn't contain referrals it would be Thursday at the earliest that we would hear anything.

On to a happier note. Sunday Trixie and WaWa came over for brunch and WaWa was the handyman of the day as he completed the penultimate project in completing Baby S's nursery. Here he is in all his handyman glory finishing up the ceiling fan installation. Thanks WaWa you did a great job and we appreciate your help.

The final project is the closet. Baby S's closet is tiny so I have to move the current shelf and rod up a little higher and add a second shelf/rod unit lower down so that I'll have more storage space. I also have a small closet just outside of Baby S's room to which I'm going to add shelves so that I can store more clothing and toys within easy reach of her room. Maybe today I'll go buy a saw to cut down the wire shelves and possibly even get a few of those in place. Then I can start pulling clothing out of the storage room and get things washed and organized.

Well, I'm not going to stress over the package being delivered today and I'm going to get on with all the stuff I need to accomplish. I'm doubtful that it contains referrals but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Have a good day everyone and try not to stress as it won't make the referrals arrive any sooner.

    You have some nice friends who will do projects for you. How can you remain so calm? I'm FREAKING OUT and I'm not the one waiting for my baby. I will keep my fingers crossed that the package contains your referral.

    I have so much respect for the way you don't let circumstances control your life. Of course it is awful, but letting yourself dwell on that just makes you feel helpless and furious. If I had to be stuck on a desert island with anyone other than my sweetie I would vote for you. He is a field biologist who cooks and can fix anything so I refuse to visit desert islands without him but you top my short list.

    well, at least we can say you're one day closer to Baby S's referral. Hope it comes SOON!
