12 days since my package was signed for in Chicago... no text/email, no check cashed yet.

I'm trying very hard to be optimistic and assure myself everything is fine, but... I'm not so sure. Damn this process and what it does to the nerves!

Just when I was starting to think whoever signed for the packages on the 1st and 2nd must have hidden them under a desk.... my text and email notifications came through this morning. Yay! Check hasn't been cashed yet, but I'm so glad for this first little glimmer of hope that things are moving along.
