After thousands of dollars spent over these last couple of months, on my lunch hour I FINALLY sent in the remaining paperwork to our immigration attorney. Everything needed to obtain my husband’s green card. As of now, it’s a waiting game as to when we get a call back for the interview in Detroit. We were told that could be anywhere from 6 months to a year. But it’s done. It’s over. I can breathe a sigh of relief. And be grateful I’ll be able to have my husband home permanently, and our family being more united . This pandemic has certainly been eye opening. Now if I could just see my step kids, I’d say things would be close to perfect.

I've said this a lot. I know I have. But it bears it repeating. Since the borders closed between the US and Canada had closed, we have been cut from from family. Until yesterday. Yesterday after almost 2 years of NOT seeing my step children, I got them yesterday. For the weekend. Brought to us by my mother in law. Who will be also bring them home Sunday. Canadians no longer have to do the covid testing if they're gone less than 72 hrs, so she's helping us. I've been crying a lot.

This is one step closer to seeing my husband and step kids. So this is beyond happy. This is overwhelmingly ecstatic. I haven't seen my husband in almost 2 months, my step kids since before Easter. It's been rough goings. This is one step closer to getting my family reunited.

EDIT While this at first made me happy and in theory is great, one would have to quarantine for 2 weeks once in Canada. Which I can't do since I can't afford the time off...It's a one way trip. But it sounded good. And I do understand the reasoning behind it. So back to the drawing board...

Happy 1st. birthday to my anxiety angst pup. He got a berfday cookie

My place of employment has decided, as of 2 days ago, to pay the premium of our health insurance. As for the rent that comes out of my checks, they also chose to stop that as well. Until further notice. None of which will be required to pay back. I've never felt more grateful or fortunate to be where I am. Ever.

After explaining everything to my Dr, she put me on the medication strattera. I know it's easy to blame everything on the pandemic, I know I have. In this case, I wasn't off. For a decade, I was able to handle my ADHD on my own with coffee and routine. When my routine went to shit for a couple months because my work schedule changed, my family dynamic changed, just so much change, I couldn't get back on track. I was definitely not me. So far, after about 3-4 weeks, this has helped me focus a whole lot more. Like, after a week it took me a second to realize that I was able to FOCUS. That I wasn't paying attention to EVERYTHING around me. The noise died down a bit. I've been able to sleep without thinking about what I'm supposed to be doing tomorrow or next week. I just need to start remembering to leave notes, like grocery lists, bills, and things. I can still get a little off, and get a little chatty. Sometimes I just need someone to tell me to take a step back. Because I know I can be a bit much sometimes. But it's definitely a step in the right direction

Yes I know..I've played ARX for a year now. And I'm still learning. As I go. MU games are relatively new to me, so-that said!
Present:
Arx: Thea, Rosalind
Past: Skotos-Castle Marrach, Merrynn aka Merry
Discord? Kessie#3614

Editing to add: All that said, I really don't mind the criticism, the truths, the hard facts. What should I be learning more of, what do you enjoy, hate! I had a rough patch for a minute, but alls is well

I give you one of the loves of my life!

Cider has definitely made herself at home

Manipulated into a new furbaby today

@icanbeyourmuse https://www.saulttribe.com/ is my place of employment. Remind me to take a picture of how we current have a dedication to the murder of indigenous women.

@icanbeyourmuse My son goes to a tribal charter school here in the states. They absolutely do this and will be Tues to honor the children from that school.

Puppers winter fun

I have no words. None. Winston looks possessed and Simba looks like he choking on snow. Both are clearly enjoying themselves. Lol

Today, for the first time since May, my husband is flying home from Canada. It may be only for a few months, but he's coming home.

That's amazing!

I don't actually know, are the borders open (and are they open both ways)?

Unfortunately the borders are only open via air still for Canadians. So he flew from Toronto into Detroit. You know, the hotspots. Instead of driving a safe 5 min across a bridge. But he's here. And we couldn't be more excited. Even if he does have to quarantine.
